    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!

    You should be feeling like a little kid in a lolly shop! Definitely. Its a good bit of gear so anyone getting it fitted should be excited

    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.

    I contemplated getting a locker but considering I can't start the Patrol I don't think a locker will get me anywhere
