Here is the first phase of jobs and mods to my new truck, I will post details as I progress through each bit if peeps would find it useful.

I will be learning along the way, so the list (as it stands, so far ) ........

1) Replacement rear wrap around bumper with tow bar
2) Towing electrics (double for caravan)
3) Rear Fend off lights
4) Front Fend off lights
5) DRL's (bumper mounted and angel eye on the fog's)
6) DRL Module and Fend Off controller (the DRL's will also flash when the fend off's are activated)
7) Front Spot's
8) Roof Spot's (will do relay and wiring but lights fitted as part of a later phase)
9) Additional switched accessory socket behind rear seats to run a mag mount roof beacon
10) Ham Radio, Yaesu 857D with dedicated switched power feed
11) A number of antennas!
12) New after-market GPS radio with reverse camera and DVR)
13) Some minor fixes and tidying up

Looks good. It's the same model and colour as mine :-)

Quite a list there, plus no doubt it will grow..

Right, fend off lights.......are??

@Gezza, sorry Americanism, fend off being flashy Amber recovery lights

Ah, got it....cheers

Slight change of plan as I was struggling to get a wrap around bar I wanted that would fit my Diamond at a reasonable price, main issue is the rear valance and parking sensors!
So just a witter tow bar going on for now, just order all the bits for my job and mod list as I want to try and get it all done as close together as possible, been lucky and managed
to find someone who will let me use their unit to do all the work.

Sooooo, with the savings made on the rear bar, I just had to spend it on a new number plate from DVLA, wife will kill me!

Managed to get "L200 DXB", the "DXB"is the last three letters of my ham radio callsign

@Geeza, yes exactly like that

New bed liner turned up today, so will fit that before the weekend

I've just bought a new reg but the wife told me to lol . I've got L200 SNS . sns is scuffs,n,scrapes my company name .

So since buying my truck I have had a steady stream of parcels arriving with all the various bits and pieces (although still more to get!)

I have finally been able to make a start on the electrics for all the new toys, first order of business was to fabricate a bracket for the
additional fuse and relay holder and try and find a place to fit, the following pics show the location and fitment.

I have been busy wiring up the relay and fuse box ready to be fitted over the coming few days, so far we have the following jumble of cables

The two modules mounted on the reverse of the bracket, starting at the top is a DRL module and below it is a fend off light controller for
flashy amber lights.

What kind of DRLs are you going to use?

Hi Monty, were these the Mitsi ones with the loom and plugs? If so can you tell me where the plugs are in the engine compartment please.
