Luverne style grill installed today after much fabrication work to mounts.

Installed new headlights, and swapped the blackout driving light for an IR light

View attachment 891387

Was the IR light pretty easy? Ran to a separate switch?

I did have to modify the bracket and hood slightly to make it fit. There are several ways it can be done, and I don't think I did it the best way honestly lol.

Its hooked up to the blackout driving light circuit, so its controlled by the standard lighting switch (all the way to the left for on).

Rhino tire carrier installed. Just need to find a wrench to mount where it's missing. And a 24 bolt rim to match the others.

I think I would have mounted the mud flap on the front of the bumper so the Rhino mount would be flush with the bumper

I put a few washers behind the left mounting bolts to compensate for the flap. I've seen them both ways.

Here's a walk around in my back of shop. Almost finished.

Remember that with Rhino carriers there is a hole in the center of the piece that goes through the hub and it is perfect for installing a backup camera

That looks pretty slick. How did you mount the console, any special considerations or fasteners?

Dont know how it called in english... you dill a hwole and press in a nut. So i can remove it with two screws and still have a flat surface. The screws are in the lockable compartment, so that it can not be easily stolen.

You know I could see expanding this cool setup to include an audio amplifier with Bluetooth, Four 5 1/4" coaxial speakers. Four USB charger outlets for both "C" and 3.0 USBs. That center compartment for me could hold my four aircraft intercom headsets.

Any bluetooth operation would be controlled by a radio tray mounted 10" tablet. Hell could even put a small lythium battery/batteries to make the whole thing portable. I really like the possibilities and the size is perfect. Hats off on this use of a 120mm ammo can.

Sounds like a rivnut or a pem nut perhaps?
