Platinum Member frosty Posted December 13, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted December 13, 2022 i wouldn't advise a roof mounted light bar if you are expecting to do any serious off roading or green laneing, they will get damaged by trees and undergrowth, especially in places like walters and tong, unless you make them easy to remove. better to mount them on the front bumper, my extra lights are above the front winch, for deep water crossings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I take it to my local garage to check, is the gear stick area supposed to illuminate or have I got a blown fuse or bulb ? Yes, and it’s quite easy to do although fiddly. Finding the bulbs was the bit I struggled with. I think it worked out cheaper to buy 10 than a single. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Lee5euk Posted December 14, 2022 Author Platinum Member Share Posted December 14, 2022 Todays Question......... Any recommendations for a half decent (easily fitted) head unit replacement with Apple CarPlay and DAB radio ? Sorry in advance if I'm supposed to start a new thread every time but I thought it would be easier to keep all my questions together. lol.

I have had Kenwood units in both of mine with no issues. Have seen Alpine units too. I would go with wireless apple car play now if I was changing mine. As for DAB, get yourself an aerial splitter/amplifier and use the existing fm aerial. Much better reception than a screen mount DAB aerial. Check that you can get a mount kit, as the Jeep is a bit wider than a 2 din unit. Also needs a harness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just struck me, if you contact Storm with details of your Jeep I would have thought they would have some sort of record of the work done. It would probably be worth knowing what has been done… …so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
