ASK ARB – HID lighting vs helogen lighting

28th January, 2015

Dear ARB, I am looking to add some IPF driving lights to my new Mitsubishi Triton 4WD which I am setting up for touring.

28th January, 2015

Hi ARB, Recently my family and I went on an overnight camping trip at one of our local beaches. I have a LandCruiser 100 Series TD 06 model with the dual battery set up as standard.

My idea is to permanently mount the fridge in the back of my 4WD and to have both 12V and 240V leads plugged in. When driving, the fridge will run off 12V and when parked in camp ...
