Now the fun begins.....

Things to do:
Fit my personalised plates
Remove and paint the tray black
Fit the bullbar
Fit the towbar
Update the firmware on the bluetooth
Fit the winch
Get an overhead console and fit the UHF
Fit the seat corner protectors
Fit the Alpine Sub to the back of the cubby box
Build a pod for touring
Buy some Dynamat and fit it
Make some rock sliders / steps

The list goes on, I think I'll start a new thread in the projects section for documenting all the work. Driving home was an interesting experience, a bit like getting in an 8 ton rental truck and figuring out it's quirks......about halfway home I settled into the groove and started enjoying the drive. The Puma motor has much more torque than my Disco 2 did and happily holds sixth on the highway. It's also a much smoother ride that SWMBO's Wrangler.
SWMBO reckons that I'll miss the Disco 3 within six months or so but I'm not sure, the kids loved the vantage point sitting so high although they did reckon it was a bit noisy at freeway speeds.

Regards,
Tote

Very nice Tote, looks good already, I'm looking forward to seeing it after all the mods are fitted.

She looks sooooooooooooooo SEXY

Wow, real nice 130 you have yourself there!

I'll be sure to wave if we cross paths when you cross the boarder next time haha.

How were the guys at Lennock? I'm on the look out for someone to do work to my TD5 and good Landy mechanics are hard to come by. I'm wary of dealers but I know they aren't all rip off merchants.
