the wiring on these trucks are designed to the limits really and the fuse is there to protect the wires from overheating shorting and catching fire, 8amps is a big ask mate if it were a couple or LEDS no problem but a light bar with that draw no way u are asking for trouble

guess ill just do it properly tomorro, its all mounted now so its all cool. have to have a dig down the garage for a relay or just go halfords,
question is do i wire in a rectangle switch and put it by the handbrake in the blank or do i fit a lil circle one in the blank above the bonnet popper?
or could i wire a relay off the wiring from my fog light switch ?

A simple job ha ha removed the diff stripped the diff and replaced the diff lock switch,what a shit design that to replace a switch you have to do all this.
I will do a more in depth write up on stripping the diff out to replace the diff lock switch with more and better photos.

Had to wait for the gasket sealant to dry filled diff with oil and tested the diff lock, ahhhhhhh the diff lock is engaging but the dash light is not coming on ahhhh,prob the bulb. That's another day to fix,can't be bothered stripping the dash today,and I will replace with blue bulbs on the clocks etc.
What colour is the diff lock light I think it's yellow can't remember @123hotchef @krutly and is it a coloured bulb or is the dash lens coloured.

its awesome in the lanes the pic dosnt do it justice and its a good focused beam too. i thought about getting a ebay china light and i seen these in a new product promo from guardian we had in work as there a dealer and the cost price is about the same as a china one and ive read that some of the china lights give off loads of light but its not focused as well as the expensive lights so at under £60 i thought id give it a go and its great. ill get a proper pic in the lanes with headlights fogs and full beam and then just the light its amazing, if you do alot of lane driving at night bugger night breakers get a light bar lol
when i blew a fuse last night in a lane after using the light bar it was like driving in the dark with the sidelights on haha

Also started to fit some parking sensors, but need to figure out how to run the wires to the cab

Lowered the back end, but my mate thought the truck would have tortion bars at the front, it didn't. Haha.

So, driving with a low back end and a standard front end until next weekend when we get some lowering springs into it.
