I kinda messed up when I ordered mine. I got it from 'mercardolibre.cl' - which is like a Latin American Ebay, here's the link :- https://articulo.mercadolibre.cl/MLC-434934501-fundas-personalizadas-para-neumaticos-_JM#position=5 You order online then send them the graphics and the tyre size, which ...

Yeah, they check that, not sure how much play they allow but its probably way too much.

That reminds me, I need to find a rebuild kit for the steering box - its at the end of adjustment so needs to be fixed/replaced at some point.

Got a new spare wheel cover :-)

Trying to find a replacement in Santiago has p...

Warn M5000 winch - apparently when it was stolen off the car it didn't get far, too heavy to run away with, so I got it back. Terminal posts busted off the motor & some cable damage, nothing too hard to fix & plenty of starter motor repair shops to do that. The extra weight on the front end ...
