Broke the power steering belt en-route to work this morning; so, there needs to be a thread called "what will you do to your patrol tomorrow?"

Installed and removed a new adjustable front panhard rod and reinstalled the factory panhard after noticing the steering damper bracket was different. Installed a ToughDog RTC steering damper, built a cargo shelf and cubby for jerry cans and recovery gear. The cutout is for 5 20L jerry cans. Installed a rear recover hook that just came in the post from @threedogs. Installed and wired new front driving lights and a bandage wrap fuel filter heater.

Had the windshield replaced and found out it has a connection for a defrost on the front windshield. Living in Siberia + heated front windshield = GOLD!

It still takes me about a month or so to get used to the extreme cold once it sets in. We've had a heat wave come through this past week. It was only -5C for most of the week. Getting ready to pull out for a trip up north on the ice road where the forecasted high temps are -25C. You just learn how to layer your clothing and your vehicle for optimum efficiency in that kind of weather.
