No change to the front end, although the wife had a fair crack at remodelling the front bumper this arvo . . . . .

Windbooster fitted purchased from 4wdsupplies - well worth the $280! For a cheap mod this little thing delivers some decent punch, no more scary moments when pulling out into traffic, much better when trying to get some quick engine pickup in the sand.

ARB winch bar and ARB roof cage/ rack ordered this morning - unfortunately a 3 week wait ex-Melb.

Hate waiting for new toys . . .

IPF's on and aerial.

massive improvement in ride and handling which confirms the BP51's springs came preset for Bullbar/ winch per advice from ARB tech.

Bolted up some Trimcast cases to the roofcage, hopefully keep some of my gear away from the "5 finger souvenirers".

Cut and refitted the Toyota trayliner using a Jigsaw - not perfect but it'll do the job.
