Disco 3 from stock to......

I took a few minutes to look at how and where to mount the rear Hella LED floods. The where and the how actually turned out to be extremely straightforward. Nice having the other truck set up already with things that will be off and back on transfers to allow for figuring stuff like this out. Saves me a drive across town. Plus I can go ahead and get them mounted now and they just transfer over when I move the rack to the new LR3 that is prewired and ready to plug in
I ordered a couple of bar clamp mounts I will mount them backwards on the rear roof rack crossbar. This will keep them clear of the upper hatch when it's open and still provide some solid rear illumination.
I think if have decided to keep them more central on the mounting with a slight angle outboard on each light. I dig the look and from a test hit connected to a battery I think it will do the trick.

The ham radio arrived finally yesterday. I did a quick look at where I want to mount the radio up and it is spot on. Handy having an LR3 that isn't dismantled. I like the placement in the center console and it will tuck in nice and neat behind the Proud Rhino Switch plate. With it's mounting plate screwed into the console a up angle on the radio will keep it readable and the buttons accessible.

I will let you know on the radio. I've been a baofeng handheld guy for awhile and happy with those. Would have bought a vehicle mount radio from them if I found one.
reviews seemed good on this one so for $55 to my door it was worth a shot. Also it was small enough to fit where I wanted it.
Thanks and glad folks are following along with my bad decision live feed on here

The little baofeng uv5r I think it is has been an amazing bang for the buck and fantastic for between the trucks coms when on the trail especially overland trips when distance can be a factor. Charging the batteries is a pain in the car charger though so it had me looking for a mountable option that still covered the GMRS frequency as well.
