Well at least you got to look at it. The Wife pinched mine for Horse towing duties today and sneakily left it all hitched up to the Nag Taxi so I'm guessing I won't get to use it or see it tomorrow either. Oh well not to worry I'm sure she'll bring it back when it's so covered in horse that it's actually contagious

Not today, but yesterday. I treated her badly, very badly.
Parked to tight spot, needed to reverse very close to building wall, and... S*T
Hit the metal stand for some air condition tubes hanged to the wall and broke my lift gate window arrggh

Yep, I should have done that
But how bad luck one can have? I looked very carefully when I reversed, out from the side window and looked out for the tubes. And when looked from the mirror that bloody stand which hit me, stayed behind the rear seat head rest in the middle, aarrghh

TRC front winch bumper / GG AT tyres
Warrior 9500s winch / Aux Fuel tank
Mantec sump guard / Kaymar rear bumper w/swing away
RI D2 light pair / de-cat exhaust

Finally got around to replacing the driver's seat cushion. Feeling well pleased although my fingers are pretty sore today from stretching the leather over the new foam!
The guide on this forum was enough to inspire me to go for it, although getting the plastic clips out of the front of the seat base was an interesting challenge until I discovered the knack! The hog rings were far easier to replace than I had imagined, which was a pleasant surprise.
Getting the heating element off the old foam required much careful use of a scalpel and gentle tugging but after an age it came off intact and is working as well as it ever did. Overall it took a good couple of hours, although now I know what to do I reckon I could probably do it in half that time.
Feeling quite chuffed with myself and can definitely feel the difference in the seat base.
So, now I've fixed the rear parking sensors, and the seat base, what next.....side steps maybe?

I fitted a centre console coolbox. I hate any job that involves removing trim, but this one went flawlessly!

Blanked my EGRs as I was getting an intermittent error. Managed to shear three of the four bolts on the EGRs as they were so rusted. Had to get in there with a bolt extractor. Took hours but all out without having to remove the EGR valves themselves.

Fitted new Trav-all dog guard and boot divider. Now the malamute can go in one half and there's a naughty seat on the other side, naughty as in caged in but a spare seat none the less.
