Mine arrived today. Be warned that the instructions say Do NOT connect to Router. Got me going for a moment until I realised they have not updated the instructions from the Gen 2 power supply.

Ticking a few things off.
Wheel rotation.
After replacing tie rods and front end bushes a little while back a wheel alignment was due. Finally got around to doing it today.
Was wanting to carry a second spare on the roof. While rotating the wheels I wanted to see how I would go. No chance. Someone suggested to carry just the tyre and get it fitted in town, I think I'll go that way.

Wish I was going, but If I was heading out that far, I definitely would have a couple of inner tubes as well. I have seen a tyre with a three inch gash in the side wall that was fixed with an inner tube and a patch of inner tube rubber. The gash was tied together with those large cable ties.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
I once gashed and wrote off a Mickey Thompson MTZ coming out of the Ouyen BP servo. Was flat by the time I crossed the road. Couldn’t find what caused it either. On my way to an Anne Beadell/Connie Sue trip. So if it can happen in town (annoying but not dangerous) imagine what a stray mallee root out bush can do to a trip. I always took 2 spares on those trips. There are other guys with you to help get it up and down from the roof, team effort @jay see .

Also drilled some holes and mounted to Jerry can holder with bolts instead of rivets, can’t believe they were riveted on with 3 small head rivets ��
