Well not today, but this week I had to get a new battery for the D3 as it failed the diagnostic machine test, which I suspected it would as it only just started a few weeks ago when I left it in the garage with key on for about an hour. It was an Energi (?) battery and only lasted 3 years which is pro'ly expected life nowadays. Interestingly my 1 year old Mexican Optima yellow top backup battery managed to start the car with the main battery removed via jumper leads, even though my mechanic's battery analyzer said it was down 36% whatever that means?
Added 16 gauges to the D3 today. OK so this is a bit of information overload, but interesting to see what can be done.

A couple of things that I had on order and had almost forgotten about turned up in the mail. A Factor55 Prolink and a Tuffant Bottle Jack adapter. Last weekend I got to fit the FR Ladder (Install of Front Runner D3/D4 Ladder).

Booked the beloved D3 in for new tie rods, rod ends and inners, new air struts, 4 wheel align and new tyres. Ouch $$$
It should drive much nicer with that little lot done.
Had 5 days up north on Moolooloo Station in the northern Flinders Ranges.
Had 2 1/2 beautiful days, then hit by 60 know winds, dust storm and thunder, lightning and rain.
Getting out was "fun"
Learnt a lot about Traction Control and HDC!!!!
