Had a good run of about 65k kms and would have bought Hankook’s again but got a better price on the Maxxis which also have the LT rating. A Central Australia trip away for the school holidays with a van prompted the replacement, otherwise I might of squeezed another 5k kms out of them.

Also kept one of the old tyres as a 6th spare, just in case.

Did the same a couple of weeks back. Replaced GG AT3 which had done 70k ish.
Also kept the least worst one as the extra spare.

Finding the Maxxis noisy but starting to ignore it.

The Maxxis were the noisiest tyre I’ve tried on the Disco. Much happier with the Duratrac I’ve moved to.

Was able to buff out most of the damage to the front bumper inflicted by an unknown hit and run ***** in the local Woolies car park.

My P Plater son thought he would scrape my perfect condition front bumper corner against a rendered brick wall reversing out of our carport. Unfortunately the raw black plastic of the D3 bumper does not allow for easy repair options. I tried filing down the cheese grater effect on the plastic with limited success. Oh the pain is real.

I’ve heard that gentle use of a heat gun is useful in this situation. Softens and smooths out the abrasions.

Still comes up pretty good for an 11 year old vehicle.

all the clear coat had faded on the roof of mine, needs to go into have some love re-applied at some point including new roof liner.

Anyone recommend a good roof re-iner in Brisbane / Sunshine coast?

Drove it for the first time in nearly 3 weeks.

Finished replacing the upper tailgate actuator and lock. Also added emergency release cable.
