Thanks for the compliments, I am not trying to hijack the thread BTW, just showing what I have. As you can see a bloke should get around to finishing the edging on the bodywork where the matting mount is, very slack of me indeed. Like you Tony, The amber light is for breakdowns and slow vehicle convoy use and as I always go to the tail of the line I am also support vehicle with tools and towstrap as required plus all relavent communications to try and keep things together on events etc.
I have set up the rear of the truck up with 2 marker lights turned out and fitted with 55w lights (soon to be led inserts in ALL lights on the truck where practical) for worklights, a tank headlight for a reverse light and a full set of front and rear marker lights set up for DIER (RTA) standards so I keep the trucks look but meet all roads standards required, I also had to keep the mardsen matting within the bodylines to legally be able to carry it on the vehicle (commonsense anyway really)
here is a rear view of the truck and the matting on it so you can see it's profile against the custom body.
Mike, RPG's not so common here now, IED's and Guerilla warfare are the go, the Bogans have been watching too much TV and it's had a bad influence on them
I was thinking of doing tail-lights on the Corio trailer in the same manner to match the vehicle, that would leave 1 of the little "pietin" style lights (like an ACCO has) to go to a lucky recipient whom needs one.
