Agreed Dagzook,

For me it's the peace of mind when far from civilization that they are dependable, especially with only 1 spare (in Africa we carry 2 on a lot of trips).

I'll get them, just not yet. Need to get some use out of these ones first - I have nowhere to store them so would be wasted.

Don't misunderstand I have bfg tyres on Dreadnaught. Just the urban terrain ones, they last seemingly infinitely long never really struggle to find some grip on anything like a made road, even in fields on wet grass they just work. They even handled the BigJimny forum meet last year at the pay and play though I wasn't diving into every mud hole I could find but still.

Yesterday I wired in a live 12V socket and V measurement item in the push to start holder - seen on this forum too.

Not too complicated to do.

Chalky which fuse did you piggy pack off? Was it an ignition 12V feed or constant? I'm pretty sure Gadget took his feed direct from the battery so that he could charge things whilst the engine was off. I've been meaning to do this for a while!
