Had a little play to see how much the extended droplinks improved articulation. It would have gone further but there was a tree behind the car.

Nice one Mark :dance:

I did all the usual checks and tightened the coil retainers..again :lol:

Then mounted a couple of tie down points to the top of the boot box to secure the hi lift jack, then bolted the waffles together and bungee'd them down, and fitted a mini cargo net to the back door.

I sorted the tools and bits for Bala in the car, just needs the camping gear in there and Im sorted, now its a beer in the garden :drink:
