Battery isolation switch (for security) replacement headlight (s) - maybe (got a wobbly one right now) We have not been able to fit: transfer box cover (the exhaust layout is in the way) We are fitting: Fuel tank guard - this may require drilling out some rusty bolts to fit it but I have my man on the case at the garage.
