The LED DRL globes are in. A bit of a fight for the driver's side one, but I finally managed to get it turned the last few degrees to lock the holder in place.

By the way, the car is only 1000 kms old, and the holders were already chalky from the heat of the standard filament globes...

Cheers

PS I will take some photos on the way to Echuca...

We have just driven the 3 hours to Echuca. The Laredo CRD towed the 1.5 tonne Crossover literally like it wasn't there.

It is very comfortable. The air suspension does its job extremely well, soaking up the bumps and providing a limo ride, even towing.

We even drove a short stretch of corrugated dirt and the ride was excellent.

Cheers

Just back from Echuca. Great music and a great drive! Overtaking, I was doing 120 km/h by the time I was level with the vehicle I was overtaking, towing 1.5 tonnes!

Some pickies:







I'll check the fuel consumption when I fill up, hopefully tomorrow.

Nice Jeep. My wife wants one first and then I can do up the WH fully, which I prefer anyway. I still like the WK2 though.

Just filled up.

13.1 l/100 km. Which is exactly what the trip computer said!
