    Strange add ons

    Thought this maybe a fun thread to start.
    Has anyone added any extras to their 6/8 wheeler outside the normal winches etc.
    i.e car stereo, mirrors, spot lights etc etc
    Should be interesting to see what you clever folks have come up with.

    GPS receiver, a "meep-meep" horn, a set of convex mirrors, a 30 inch LED light bar, (Which lights up, no kidding, a half mile of terrain) rear floodlight, marine navigation lights, halon fire extinguisher, flag for running in sand dunes, a safety harness setup for my dog, plastic storage locker for "stuff," and a NASA type gimbal tilt/grade meter. All lights, including the original running lights are LED. Yup, I'm a gadget freak.



    Majorly reworked dashboard:

    That's what's great about LED's, I can turn on EVERY light, and it's just about the same amount of power the original "hot wire" bulb lights used. I can't even see the amp gauge needle move when I turn on the running lights.
