Nothing a length of CLS can't do lol. The hardest part is trying to tighten the bolts onto the brackets that are mounted to the pillar. As the visor itself curls down, you can only get in with 2 small 10mm spanners & can only tighten it a wee bit at a time. It's also lock thread nuts which makes it even harder. Rattled my knuckles a few times with a few sweary words but well worth it

Gus with everything fitted how much weight have you left to carry tools???? Just kidding, I expect as Dave has said 18" alloys and low profile tyres

 

[Bubblecraft]

Oh yeah, still waiting on my short reg plate to come. Should be here tomorrow!

I've still got just under a tonne free . I love the look of 18"s on the right vehicle, but not on a jumbo. The alloys I've picked are in my first post. They are 16"s so can use my original tyres so no extra cost there & can carry 980kg a corner, which I defo need. My van maybe a T350 (3 and a half tonne) but I have triple leaf Midland Road Springs on mine which, if I remember correctly, takes me up to 4.3 tonne. If fully loaded, I ain't far off that mark (Just don't tell VOSA lol)

Jesus 4.3t. I would be more worried about stopping power with that much weight. Do you not have to upgrade the brakes as well???

Nice 1. You'll need to start your own thread on your project & get some progress pics as time goes on. How are you liking the cams?

 

[Gazzer]

Bit weird at first but very accurate when i want to back right up to a wall. Only have the one cam .

 

[Bubblecraft]

Takes a bit of getting used to but you'll never back into anything....which is good in your case with your new shiny bit of bling at the back

Just backed up right to the wall no worries. Got about 10mm clearance
