Re: Battery Isolators
Hey guys, here is a shot of my cut-off setup. Its pretty simple, but seems functional to date. I have a parasitic draw somewhere so i cutoff battery power whenever parked for a few hours or more. Also a inline fusible link on the battery cable.

Looks like a playground in the making.
You have enough room for another small shop AND a nice garden.

Re: Help?-Wiring Foglights
Thanks Robert. Yes i did finally get it all hooked up. The trouble was locating the pre-bundled wiring. I couldnt see them without pulling the gauge cluster out. And BAM rigth there! Pretty straightforward after that. I used a 10 amp blue fuse in the fusebox, i kept blowing the 8amp white ones? Now ...

Re: Euro Bumper mounting help
Hello Adam, Did you have to do any cutting? I dont see any fresh saw marks anywhere? Are those the standard OEM brackets, or a nifty aftermarket doo-hickey? I will be attempting to go Euro "hopefully" in the not-so-distant future.
