Does it look something like this?

The LED light bar's on the bullbar are pretty useless for distance but they give a nice spot spread up close. The only reason they're on there is because i blew a globe in my IPF 800D's and had these sitting around. They were going to go on as roof rack lights but they were bigger than i expected.

The little ones mounted on the roof rack punch out a heap of light. Which is good. The only drawback to them is there is a bit of a dead zone about 1m out from the sides. This isnt so much a problem on the back because my reverse lights are 7w CREE's and do an awesome job of flooding the immediate area.

I'd say no, but Tas would say yes.

I would say... Not that dissimilar. Especially after I went head first into it #ziptiesareforlosers

For the record... To make you both feel better, you guys have nothing for the under dash of my Prado. If I ever feel lime being shamed... I might post a photo.

Long time no post, havent really done a whole lot. Cruiser doesnt get daily driven anymore as i take the wagon into work. Had to decide on a Christmas present for myself so i was going to get a set of rock sliders and brush bars. But given that i dont get out on the tracks as much as i tow with it i decided to finally get around to intercooling it.

After doing a bunch of research i concluded that going A2A wasnt going to be the best option as it would mean running the pipework up through the wheel arches and the core size would be limited due to the winch.

So i decided on going for a Water to Air setup. Had a look on Ebay and the only available options were a real letdown as far as "kits" went. Either the core was the wrong size or the heat exchanger was too small.

Found out about Frozenboost - Air to Water Intercooler and made up my own "kit" for less than the compromise i found on eBay.

For reference:

nice we used clear pvc hose with wire reinforcing like food grade stuff and blue water wetter. Load the chilly bin up with ice and you can get the cooler frosting.

We also installed a solenoid to bypass resiviour and it needed a second pump to get enough flow you might not have same issues depending on how you set it up

I've got an old bilge pump sitting here that i might stick into the overflow to help circulate the water around. Not going to ever load it up with ice as it will be melted by the time i get to the top of the street. Reason i got the tank was to add more capacity to the system.

Just placed the order through tonight so should be here by the end of January at the latest, which works well because Plazmaman has gone on holidays until the 16th so i cant get the manifold adapter anyway.
