Do you think it’s odd .........
..................that I should be feeling a tad excited about getting an addition to my Patrol that I hope never to need? .............. ‘cos I am.
I’ll be leaving home at an indecently early hour tomorrow morning to take the car down to Harrops Engineering to get the front locker fitted.
I think the excitement is more because getting this done is a clear indication that things are happening, the time is getting closer, the long held dream is almost a reality.
I may even post a pic of a new switch on the dash tomorrow night!

The 747
Not odd at all mate and to be honest I would suggest you use it more than you think you would need it.
It makes driving so much easier and puts far less stress on your vehicle.

I have been trying to decide if I should get a locker or a winch or both.
My misses made the decision for me and I am not getting either.
