So, after a long battle today(basically.... wiring, wiring, wiring, plaques, and 2 h3 bulbs being dead) it is done! It looks more like a camel vehicle now! Please note the roof rack is bent a little, so the plaque is actually not slightly crooked.










Basically, there are two power wires that go to the roof rack lights(hella 1000's). One wire splits 2 ways for each driving light, and the other wire splits 2 ways for each fog. One set of lights were working and the other were not. After some investigation, I found my way to the fault. It was in a nest of custom wiring and factory harnesses. Basically, someone had modified it at some point in time after the race. Each set of lights have a relay and someone rigged up the switch only to one relay, instead of two. A splice here and there. Bam. Lights.

 

Wow! Those lights and plaques make a huge difference!
Looks awesome!
What is next?

 

Need to rub some fine dirt on those shiny new lenses to match the patina.

 

Wow they really beat the crap out of them, but I guess it wasn't there trucks so who cares, lets hit the side of a tree a little faster right?

 

Well this particular one came off a trailer at highway speeds...

 

So a camel trophy owners club member sent me these photos. Thought I would share them! Verified my export plates to the camel trophy owners info about my disco!

What are those big traction planks called?

 

The sand ladders? Which are cut up aluminum or steel Marsden Matting, used by the military to make makeshift runways.

 

Can you post some photos of the sand ladder mounts on the SD rack when you get a chance?
I have some Perforated steel planks that I cut down years ago to 12"x36" and would like to mount one on each side of my SD low profile rack without dropping a ton of cash.


Thanks!!

 

Camel trophy rack is not an SD at all. It mounts to the actual roof and I believe it is tied into the internal cage.
