they like fancy posh stuffI've never used roof mounted lights in the bush, I know plenty that have them but for the outlay it seems to be (IMO) expensive for for the amount of use they get, different if your farming in the UK in winter, but for general camping/overlanding I don't see the point when we have great head torches with us.For a simple work light these are hard to beat, I have them on one of the tractors. Very consistent wide beam pattern. I had one on the back of my 110 too.
edit, i have the Scene beam pattern.

Here in winter its dark at 4 and light at about 8-8:30, so I’m often unloading / loading in the dark, reversing the trailer too was a big reason for a high level light. I had the flush mounted one on the defender. I don't like a roof mounted driving light as it reflects off the bonnet / bull bar..
I came late to head torches, but a good quality head torch is the absolute business.

This is what I'm thinking now - just a basic on-screen HUD with speed, temp, fuel. Thats about all I want. If we can get Tacho on their that would be great!On the subject of head-up displays… came across this one:

The petzl’s come in a wide range of outputs, the NAO that I have is very bright.
I’d like to install a rooftop tent directly on the roof. It appears that the 4 rubber strips are all in the same plane so am brainstorming how to secure it to gutters and/or existing cylindrical roof handles. If this were possible the overall height might solve parking clearance problems for members. Thoughts??
If I remember right, are the cylindrical roof handles not strong enough to fix roof tents etc.
I would be comfortable using the roof to carry occasional loads but never to have something like a roof tent fixed directly to it Permanently. The sound of the movement between tent and roof would be unbearable offroad and there would be wearing of tent base or roof strips I think. Even when using a roof rack with a tent on things can go wrong. Fixings working loose or breaking free from my own experience
You wouldn't be covered by insurance or warranty in Australia I could guarantee that
Yes, they have a gutter mounting kit available (see link). I don’t see it on their website or on the wall at St Peters but they were kicking around at the last Sydney 4WD show. Their steel racks are probably a more durable option but they lack the nifty engineering of the modular system.
