Not updated for a while, so in summary....

Two 15" lightbars from eBay - disaster - only measure 12" and some pieces missing, then when sorted, mounts made it too high for the look I wanted and then leaked/misted terribly so scrapped that idea and took them off. Now replaced with 4x individual LED lights per the photo below.

Also got my ply floor carpeted and made a fixed but removable carpeted bulkhead arrangement per the photos below. Floor was easy enough but the bulkhead was a pain to do as the car carpet was quite thick.

Also fitted an Xtrons reversing camera and sensor to tie in with my Xtrons android head unit - very happily surprised with the view and quality.

Where did you end up mounting the switches? Ive been thinking about making some sort of roof mounted thing for switches and CB.

Still mulling over where to fit them as wiring the front and rear roof lights is one of two bigger jobs left to do on my list (the other being fitting the snorkel). I've settled on either under the ashtray/over the front tray nook, or on top of the dash above the vents/hazard swith in some sort of switches pod as I also have a small voltmeter and USB power outlets to mount. I've got my eye of some Landrover switch pods but still not finally decided.
