Hi, I want to buy these products from within Australia. However i'm having trouble finding them.

Also, I want to fit the lights but I don't know if they will fit between the over riders.

The first product I'm looking for is a set like this or similar

and the other thing is switch extensions but everyone seems to be out of stock.

Ryan

That light bar does not fit between bumper over riders as they hide the indicators to much due to the width of it. The over riders look odd with this lightbar as well, hence why mine were not refitted.

These pics show the lightbar in question and how close they are at the ends.

although it goes against what i said in the thread about buying locally vs OS you might be best off getting
http://www.minispares-online.co.uk/?cat_id=4&sub_cat_id=44&prod_id=265

thats the ones i got on mine and was only 60 pound postage but that was with the suspension bits as well.

if you do order from OS can you let me know there is a few little things id probably get that could fit in the box :lol:

thanks for the link GT

however, $145 for the bar alone is a lot of money, especially when I can get a stainless one with two fog and two spot lights from the UK for the same price.

If I could buy the entire kit in stainless locally I would, however after a ring around I cant get it.

Plus, I need to make sure it fits between the over ridders etc before I buy anything or else I may have to re think my plans.

Yes, I agree, but you did ask where you could buy one!!!! I usually make my own in mild steel and then either have it powder coated or zinc plated. They last very well (I still have my first one which is now 26 years old). I don't like stainless in general, but in particular it is not a good idea to fasten it against 'ordinary' steel as is does make the steel start to rust quite quickly (dis-similar metals).

Cheers.

ryan mine should be out the front of work tomorrow arvo from around 1-6 if you wanna come measure it up, i wont get the chance to measure it up til monday at the earliest.
could modify how they are mounted to bing them a bit closer together if they are close to the overriders.
