Geeze @BigSkiddy, did you look at me funny or not give them some of your fish and chips?

So that's what the birds think of Jeeps 
I think the birds saw the Jeep badge and thought it was a Dragons player... @Bonners
They do say if you get that on your head while walking along its good luck......time to buy a lotto ticket @BigSkiddy
Was washed at the scene, then at home that night, and again for a full detail the next morning. No damage done.
Uneek Rock Sliders added.
Small creek crossing, door seals passed the water tightness test.

ATTENTION ALL LAREDO OWNERS.
Jeep Australia have finally agreed to replace the crap reversing camera with genuine one (as on the Limited and up). You should receive a letter.

With the lower guard removed for offroad use, the radiator and air suspension compressor become vulnerable. I knocked up a guard which I can install and remove in 2 mins.

I can take it of in 30secs. Start on the side by pulling outwards, whilst holding your hand on the painted section. I'll video and post next week.

Duncan. I had leather put in my Laredo here in Brisbane. Better quality than the Limited and you couldn't tell it was aftermarket. Made sense to me at the limited was a lot more coin for parking sensors, leather and a gps. I'd like the sensors but love my Garmin with up to date maps. Leather was about $2500.
The covers are made from wetsuit material. Easy to clean. Wife and daughter are swimmers and jump straight into the car in their wet cossies.
Only criticism I have is they don't breathe and can be a bit sticky on a hot day.
I will get another set for the next car.
Last weekend spent 3 days offroading from the Brindabellas into Kosciusko National Park.
Busted a rim in the first hour and did the rest of the trip on the spare. Amazing how well this vehicle works in the mud, even with road tyres.
Still haven't had to use the recovery hooks yet.
Unfortunately couldn't take the Jayco Discovery with me. First night spent in a tent at -5 degrees, nearly died. Next night I built a big fire slept beside that until 2am and then retreated to the car, put on the heated seats...snug as a bug.
Here's some pics
BTW got a new alloy wheel for $100 and refitted the existing tyre which was not damaged.

Yeah I am. I figure why not use it as it was designed. Otherwise I could have stuck with a normal sedan.
Went too fast up a rutted muddy incline, struck a large rock which was on the inside edge of the rut. Learnt to go slow up the hills and let the Jeeptronics do their thing.
