Good had to swap front to back to stop scalloping every 10000K as we're cooper st Maxx and lugs were prone to wear I would do it again much better than the smaller sizes and rims are very strong .i am keeping SR rims as may swap back depending on vehicle use.

Cleaned my MAF sensor and MAP filter, adjusted the park brake to be a little less tight, put a new air con filter in as the old had been put in wrong and was completly trashed.

FIIINNNAALLLYYY picked up the new lux. '15 model with ARB deluxe bar, scrub bars, steps and dual batteries with dc charger. Loved it from the second we drove out of the dealership. Bolted on some Genesis Lightforces and a tinted bonnet protector. That's it for the girly stuff, now into the mans business. need to order the monster rides kit, sort out the canopy and get the exhaust and wind booster sorted.
