Murph 30 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 That looks spot on, I am working on something similar but I doubt the suction grab would stick to the battered doors on my landy so I was giong for 2 hooks over the window gap with a lagged bar to lean against the door and take the pressure when you lean on the rest.

Cheers, perfectly clear mate, I will rob that idea for mine. We normally just use a sponge wedged between the mirror and the door frame as a rest but I got to thinking after watching that programme with the south africans and the women lamping, their trucks were set up for lamping better than anything I've seen and it gave me a few new ideas to try out. I've just got a landy purely for lamping as I'm picking up a lot of rabbiting and a few bits of foxing at the moment and I'm trying to set it up as best I can for the job. The lad I do most of my lamping with is a keeper and has a truck like yours but we can't really use it off his job. Just got in from being out foxing, seen a few but no shots taken, the people who did the lamping previously have missed a lot and they are the most lamp-shy I've ever seen. Got 2 shots (and 2 foxes) from seeing 11 seperate foxes on tues night, most don't even look at the light, you just see the shadows running across the stubble.
