this is the chage that was made.... it protects any tools/gear i got back there when the rig is open and it also protects my big ol american 12 inch sub... which is a major issue.... :D :armsup:

I hope thats an easily removable tow bar tongue, cause it looks pretty low, and will cause dramas for your departure angle. If it is, try reversing the towball, and putting the tongue in upside down. You will have more clearance when towing a trailer.

Have you drilled holes in your roof to mount the light bar?! :shock:

It's a bit hard to make some of the things out. I take it that luggage barrier is fastened down somehow? And does your new towbar have a slide in type tongue? It's a different set up to most Ferozas I've seen- the towbar usually bolts onto where the rear recovery loop is.

For the pics that don't work try changing the name of them so there is no spaces. eg. "picture 1.jpg" becomes "picture1.jpg"

yes the tow bar is removeable... its what we call a reciever tube.... i had it installed to increase my departure angle.... and it really adds to the look. its in the upwards angle so that it gives me a bit more clearence to level out the trailer i'm going to be hauling on my move.... as for the lighting bar, yes it is bolted through the roof... i took off the interior plastic and found that the area is double walled so i drilled a hole in the inside to reach the outer wall and drilled a smaller hole in order to fit the bolt though... then bolted the lighting bar to the outer wall with some special gaskets and a special locking nut so no one can remove it unless they cut into the interior wall... then replaced the plastic piece and volia.... as for the roof cage... yes that is bolted directly onto the hard top... couldnt really work my way around there without comprising weight issues.... so i had the roof cage sit fully onto the hard top with 3 bolts on each side bolting through the hardtop. its been pouring since this morning and no leakage so far... no whistling.. no nothing when i drive.... will see how the gaskets hold up in the morning since its STILL pouring... i love it.. shes a real lookin beast though... i'm hoping to get better pics taken in daylight sometime this weekend or next week before i move
