I need a Snorkle - So how close is the Safari to market? If not this week, maybe the Mantec
Cargo Barrier - seems to be akin to the Snorkle availability
Bullbar and winch - What are the options?
Steering guard - I'll talk to Len at Troutbeck
Side steps - Wife wants, I don't ,but I probably won't win this one - Are the OEM tubes the best or is there an better alternative?
Spotties - probably wont bother at first
Dual batteries and Anderson plug - Easy, I'll contact drivesafe
Long range tank - whats available here?
Suspension upgrade - do I need anything above standard for towing a camper trailer?

I'd take the EBC and UHF from the Disco
Am I correct in assuming the Radio/CD will take an iPod/USB connection?




Retail therapy I think is helping my get over everything.

if you can hang on till oct you can have a tst drive in one.....you might have to make the engine noise while we push though if thats ok

I'm thinking more along the lines of test drive and purchase this week if I can. We've been talking it over and if it drives well for both of us and we can get a 5 seater, we may be able to drive one home.

NO. The Aus spec has the iPod aux. connector blanked off. You should get an aftermarket unit with direct iPod control and I would also recommend a speaker upgrade with perhaps a compact sub-woofer.

Moving house, prophylactic advice; sounds like you've already got that plan in the works.
