Are you building a Mud Monster or a Pavement Princess??
If so you can have your own thread in this section.

        The Jimny Buggy has it's own new blog! :woohoo:
www.jimnybuggy.com
This will be updated when the buggy gets out and about!... But don't worry, the build thread is staying here and there's banner links in the blog to redirect blog visitors to this excellent forum... and of course a summary of my trips will also still feature in this build thread...
It's just the framework at the moment...

        Not sure how "soon" the actual blog will appear though Lambert... that's down to Mr. Johnson and Mr. Drafeford :laugh: ... as to when we're let out to wander around our favourite 'lanes..

        I'm being optimistic, it can't be forever and then it'll all just be history!

        I spent today working on the front lights...
 
Finished off the engine battery's isolator switch, and added a new fused wire that runs with the engine battery cable over to the other side of the engine, where...
 
I made an aluminum bracket to hold the two relays that control the front JCB headlights, and an "aircraft" toggle switch with a cover which is uaually "on" so that the LED lightbar comes on with main beam, switching this switch "off" though makes it MOT compliant
 
And then finished the wiring neatly up to the lightbar...
TESTING! -
Tick! Another job off the list :woohoo:
