Dan gaan jy bietjie sukkel.... daar is nie regtig lekker vasmaakplek op die Vigo nie..

Daar moet seker n manier wees.

Jy sal 'n bracket moet maak wat agter die grille uitkom... maar vertikale stabiliteit gaan 'n probleem wees. Ek het nogals iemand gesien wat so iets gedoen het in die Baviaanskloof laasweek, maar het nie fotos geneem nie...

Wilhelm, where is your number plate mounted? If it's not at the top piece of the plastic bumper (move it down if it is), you can take a piece of 30mm x 5mm flat bar that's just a little bit longer than the spacing you want between the spots and then shape it a bit to fit on a flat facet of the bumper. Drill your mounting holes and then drill corresponding holes in the plastic - Treat / paint the flat bar and put it behind the bumper with the spots bolted on through it. That might give the spots enough stability.

Klink na n plan Mud Dog.
Het ook gedink as ek dalk die boonste 2 mounting brackets van n nudgebar iewers kan optel sal dit ook werk.

Volgende keer as jy 'n soortgelyke model as joune sien wat 'n nudge/bullbar op het, kyk bietjie na die mounting points. Onder, obviously, maar gaan daar nie hoër ook twee braces DEUR die bumper nie? Op beide my IFS's ('99/05) is daar 'n secondary brace hoër op.

As hulle iets soortgelyks op die Vigo modelle gebruik kan jy die mounting points van daardie boonste braces gebruik, in fact, die brace gedeelte namaak, miskien net sterker... ????

Onthou net, nou gaan jou spots VOOR jou bumper uitstaan, en daar waar jy hulle nie kan sien nie. Jy gaat hulle iewers teen iets plat druk...

Sal bietjie kyk.Maar het gou geleer om maar n tennis bal in my garrage te hang so ek twyfel of ek n probleem sal he.Wil nie teveel aan my bumper sny nie.

Die boonste braces van die nudgebar is 2mm flatbar wat in n L shape gebuig is. Hulle is useless vir spotlights..

En as jy hulle namaak met 5x50mm flat bar?

Ja, tennisbal hang in die vrou se garage ook. Snaaks genoeg, as sy by hom stop het sy 1m agter die Tazz en amper 2 voor. Maar as die bal nie daar is nie parkeer sy partykeer sommer dwars in die garage....

Maak net copies van die boonste brackets, maar lekker sterk. Jy behoort nie te hoef sny aan die bumper nie, ek is seker hulle gaan deur bestaande airvents soos hulle op my lorries doen.

Ek het na n trok soos myne met n nudgebar op gekyk. Daai brackets is 5mm dik en boud direk op 1 van die cross members vas.

Post by **Mud Dog** » Thu May 07, 2015 6:51 pm

Daai behoort reg te wees solank die 'extension' nie te lank is nie.

Youi can, but they will still be wobbly, because of the distance between the plate they get bolted to behind the grille, which is also about 0.0000001mm thick.. Even the std nudgebar is wobbly, and that has 2 very sturdy bottom mounts.. or at least mine was..

Those top brackets are only there to prevent the nudgebar from flopping forward when you brake suddenly..

I LIKE Tuff tralies idea with the Raider pipe... something different, should be pretty sturdy and will also offer some protection for the lights in case you park to close to the wall in a parking garage.. Fantastic thinking outside the box there gents..

Here is my set up - know you didn't want a bar but maybe consider it as an option?

Waar het jy die brackets gekry wat om die nudgebar clamp waaraan die spotlights vas is?

Stuart Baak · Post by **Stuart Baak** » Mon May 11, 2015 12:45 pm

4x4 megaworld. But I strongly suggest using your own rubbers between the clamp and the bar as the ones that come with are a fraction too thin and the spot "falls over" on hectic gravel roads

Yep exactly the same. And you can see those rubber strip's I'm talking about

ek het al n lightbar in die opening in die bumper vasgesit, ek het twee "flatbar" brackets op die bumper stiffener vasgesweis, en een bar uit die onderste grille gesny, werk 100% en lyk mooi. n Nudgebar neuk jou aproach angle op en is nie eers sterk genoeg om sptlights vas te hou sonder vibrasie nie.

Hi All,

Where does one mount the relay for a spotlight or lightbar?

I am fitting a switch for on / off but I'd like to know where one mounts the replay for this in a vigo / fortuner :)

Thanks :)
