The Jeeperific managed to be in my stables for 6 years, brilliant tourer and van dragger but now its out to pasture, a simple fail which should have been inexpensive really, turned into a massive expense by crap design, so it has been replaced by a bog standard 2020 PX3 Ranger PX3 3.2lt engine 6 speeder, (another ZF box) its great, its basic, I do the driving and it turns the wheels ...........

And proving you shouldn't take a stamp in the book as anything more than a stamp, did the usual change all filters and fluids, they certainly look like they have done more than what the stamp said plus as the normal check of new vehicle, I discover some idiot workshop/tyre shop must have used a 21mm socket to undo the 19mm wheel nuts, well not just one, all 24 of he buggas, wheel brace in vehicle wouldn't fit so I pull out my gear, nothing wnated to fit, so selected the correct size impact socket, 19mm, and my hammer, made it fit, removed nut, reshaped so it fitted, did it to all 24 then motored to Autobarn, Sunday picked up new ones , everything works nicely, all checks completed now wait for new tow bar and mirrors and we are good to go................... proper wash and polish looking and driving like a million $$$$$ ......................................

Don't know about inexpensive ........... tow bar, mirrors, tyres, scanguage but I have a chassis and being the poverty pack, no tiresome rubbish ......... I think I have crawled all over and under it and pulled quite a few things off for a look, all okay so far...

Towbar missed the truck again, tomorrow he says and have $100 off since the warehouse is stuffing around, bribe accepted, I can wait and ordered a Scangauge 2 today and got $30 off, on a roll .....................

Looking forward to hooking Big Mal up and hoping I don't need the WDH back on or new springs, its heights match the new specs so might be able to have some grace before new springs needed.... hop the new hitch measures up still, bugga should have gone the adjustable job....
