    Very minor, but I bought a phone cradle - a Kenu Airframe +
    Below are my impressions after a few days:

    PROS
    • Seems solid and well made
    • More secure than I was expecting it to be. Feels like it will stand up to some shaking.
      The gripper is rubbery not hard, so it grabs surfaces firmly
    • Price - bought off Ebay for under $30 and free delivery
    • Both my recharge and playback cables reach easily when it's mounted on center driver vent
    • Size adjustable - should fit most phones
    • Rotates 360 degrees if needed


    CONS
    • I didn't realize until it arrived, but instructions say the vents should be off.
      I don't know if cold air will bugger your phone but I've been using it with aircon on so far and no problems.
    • If buying off Ebay, beware of fakes that don't come in the box


    Overall I was expecting this to be an inexpensive placeholder until I bought some big, chunky, you beaut mount - but if this one keeps going the way it is I'll be happy to keep using it.

    Hi All,
    I had some HTE HD axles and flanges installed yesterday while the 130 was having its 80,000km service. All the slop in the driveline is gone. Has made such a big difference. I cant believe l have waited so long to install a set. Highly recommended.

    Also had rear airbags installed. Very pleased with them also.

    Thanks to Les Richmond Automotive. Great workshop.

    Hi
    Yep. Airbag Man. Link:LANDROVER DEFENDER 130 HD HP FIRESTONE COIL AIR BAG SUSPENSION SPRING ASSIST KIT | eBay

    I went with the HD Sleeve also.

    Axels were $800 from memory.

    Definitely worth it.

    I've been sent their template to measure my coils etc so they can quote for a system.
    I just need to get off my bum and under the truck with micrometer to measure the HD Kings springs.
    MRA said their King springs and Terrafirma Pro Comp shocksgave my truck an 1 1/2 inch lift, so a bit abstract, hence their requiring measurements etc.
    Thanks fellas.

    Hi Weeds.
    No mate. If the mirrors need to, they can still flex inwards via collapsing the plastic cup.
    Win Win!

    All the suspension done.

    needed modifying of the front and rear shafts, higher mount rear brackets, front turret spacer, fuel filter moved, rear memeber on body cut back and re welded so top of shocker wouldn't hit it and front sway bar out. Feels more roll but nothing too bad. Also had their coils put in and that's also made a massive difference. Bit softer on the front. I think it's going to work really well.

    Upgraded the OEM Jack

    As my 110 has a moderate lift (about 1 1/2 inches or so) and I'm carrying more weight in the truck, I've replaced the factory bottle jack with an 8000kg bottle jack. Super Cheap have them on sale for around $68 at the moment.
    The 8000kg unit has quite a few cms increased lift over the factory unit.
    So, if you've lifted your truck or carry extra weight, you may want to consider this, and a base plate for soft ground.
    I also have an exhaust jack which is great.
    Ive never been a fan of high lift jacks, just not for me.
    Ive also purchased 5 extra Terrafirma RVS wheel nuts from the UK to fit my RVS rims. Just in case I loose wheel nuts in the bush (which I've seen happen to others).
    Little things that can catch you out.
    Best wishes all.
    Ken
