15 things you possibly didn't know about your D3.

Well, before watching I thought I'd know them all Mr. Green
...... turns out I only knew about half of them. Embarassed

WARNING: You'll need the time and patience to watch this ...... as can be seen by the comments below. Rolling Eyes

# 3, 10 and 15 for me (#10 looks really useful given how much towing we do)

Also disagree with him over #11 - I find I need to use a broad bladed screwdriver to remove the vertical slider, but can see that he managed it.

Have to say his other half is a good egg and very smiley

The phrase "long suffering" came to my mind. SWMBO would have belted me before we'd done half of that! Rolling with laughter

How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

I managed 2.30mins.... annoying video... most people who make video’s or radio, or.... tend to love their own voice so much, that the subject, often snow’s under.... this is one of them... to much distraction while on the road maybe....

I will have another try if i get really Curious... promise..



Note:
The 4xOverland guy on Youtube is one i can watch although.. Wink
