BFG KO3's Mounted
#11
Those wheels look GOOD and I enjoy your rig! Well done. But I gotta say, nothing warms my heart more than when someone takes a drill, angle grinder, or "cutter" to their Defender. Each time, I imagine some highly polished person in Mumbai cringing.....

EDIT: @GCSchmidt - I'm sure you posted it, but I must have missed the read. I just noticed the dual sets of Rigid lights. I'm pretty confident you went with the ditch lights up top. What did you use for the bottom set? I'm a gear nerd, so the more details the happier I'll get!<g> BTW - I seriously want to put some old school round lights (perhaps Baja Designs LP-6) down there. I have just been distracted by my trailer build for too long. Fortunately, just put the (semi) final touches on this past weekend so time to get back to the mother ship, aka Defender and work on some projects. Meaning I'm going to be dropping off the M416 forums and back to Defender ones!

My Auxiliary Lighting Setup:
I used Lucky8’s method of running wires in the cabin (link below).

Under hood lights:
KC under hood light kit with a bracket I modified to hold the switch that utilizes the radiator shroud clip for retention.
I secured the lights with large Stainless Steel fender washers and bolts with nylon locking nuts. I did have to poke holes in the liner to attach the lights…basically sandwiched the liner in between two fender washers.
I ran the wires under the hood liner (secured with heat resistant ducking tape) to the battery terminal under the hood, grounded at a factory underhood location.
