Something that has been bugging me for ages, I finally fixed.....

The drain from the fuel filler box got blocked while out bush ages ago, I tried to clear it but must have knocked the hose off so diesel ended up running all around the wheel well, the stink got the better of me so jacked her up, ripped the wheel off and removed the plastic rivets holding the wheel carpet, as few as possible, found the hose flapping around but also they had zipped tied the hose in places, too damn tight so choking the thing, all sorted, hose clear and zip ties removed..... don't leave it too long if yours does the same, it can be a bluddy messy job... hence no pics.

Had OME lift installed. Stoked with the results. Went up 3 inches at the font, I think the gain was so high becuase the front suspension had past its prime

Yeah I’m expecting it to settle at least a little, though at the moment it actually sits level and the rake it came from factory with is gone

Front and Rear Dash-Cam installed

Bought a smart box for it so that it would turn on if it detected movement or vibration but couldn't for the life of me get it too work, so have it ran straight to the centre console accessory for the moment until I do some more research and figure out how to connect the fucker properly. [emoji35]
Hopefully won't drain my battery over night[emoji848]

I think you will find your rear cam will be a pain in the mirror but also will give you problems as it gets full sun and cooks, I have plans for mine, one day, to fit it on the side back enough to be in shadow for the most part and out f the way.....
I see the dealer puts a sticker in a great position as well.

You have reflections in your door jams, get out and get dirty , fella...................
