Mr_o_uk’s Mildly Modded Metruck

Rear bracket first pass tested…

So typically, the oem steel mount clashes with the projector lens mounting point and also the metal housing. It’s because it’s higher than central like the original location.

Not sure what to do now.

I can run the light upside down and it works, but doesn’t look as good in the housing.

I looked at offsetting the projector part down with a bracket, but that only partially solves the problem and I’m worried about it melting as it’s close to the LED.

I could start hacking the original oem bracket about, but wanted to try and keep that the same.

I could buy a different light with a central main light.

I could take the parts of the light and make my own full housing - but worried the 3d print wouldn’t hold up to the heat.

Haven’t done much on this lately as been busy with house stuff, and also waiting for a slot in schedule for the mount to be made.

Have fitted the tyre though. It was a PITA. Definitely worth finding a shop who will do it!!!

I ended up using an inner tube as I couldn’t get it to seat at all, even with ratchet straps.

I used this inner tube:

And now the wheel is fitted and sits properly. Took a lot of psi and bouncing the wheel on the ground even with a tube.
