Installed new wiper blades....in case it ever rains here in W.A.
As I lay there looking up, taking in the spectacular view that was the night sky and the multitude of stars I asked myself, where did my tent go?

Thanks mate, been off line this week. Yeh not a lot of clearance in there, will keep an eye on it. They must absorb quite bit of energy before fouling occurs but do appreciate the heads up. Do the other builds like the Patrolapart supplied ones, do they provide a lot more clearance or are you just commenting generally against the use of them ?

A couple of months ago I scored some 6" Kenwood speakers from Supercheap that were marked down from $70 to $30 and then I got another 40% off so they were only $18 per pair. I also bought a $10 set of plastic tools for removing door trims. Today I replaced all four of the stock speakers (Clarion branded with paper elements) with the Kenwood ones and I'm happy to say that I managed to do it without breaking any of the door trims or the "Christmas Tree" attachment thingys. It took about 45 min for the first one as it took me a while to work out how to get the door trims off but it got easier from there and the last one only took about 20 min to remove trim, remove speaker and cut existing connector off, solder on new speaker, install speaker, replace door trim). The sound quality is so much better and I can turn it all the way up on the stock head unit without it distorting. Now I just need to keep an eye out for a new head unit and I am still deciding if I am going to add an amp as well.
Yeh, have spoken with them and yep they say they don't bend and covered under warranty, this is fair enough. The old pitman arm steering box would get a pounding if there was that much kinetic energy needing to be dissipated..
Each to their own, but IMHO, I prefer a plate in this location to provide some general protection and be used as a deflector of sticks/logs from being thrown up in to the drive pulleys and fan belt region, especially whilst reversing out over crappy ground cover situation.. Has happened to me once and had a hell of time had removing a stick..
