lol cheers lads.

i had most of that in mind, although i dont have a spare alternator lol

got a recovery strop attached at all times

i have do doubt she'll be ok but its always best to be prepared!!

some new rear tyres are goin on, and it was recently serviced when i done the head gasket

im gonna be just outside tavistock so im hoping to find some nice trails out there to explore! nothing too crazy seein as im pretty far from home but should be cool.

wanna find a cargo net for me bonnet too

[Highlander]

offroad trip too??

Winch, ground anchor and hilift jack too then

[suzukisteve]

dammit lol

basically, she's gonna be used as a bit of a work horse for a few days, moving equipment about.
seen some sort of green lanes/ gravel/ rocky tracks to get me to where i want.

doesnt look to harsh, but ill go prepared.

its not heavy stuff, but the zuke goes where everyones 'normal cars' dont go, so it has the advantage
