Does it have any nav software downloaded in it...thinking about this style setup as a backup for Europe...what mapping system were you using for remote areas..?? I would only be using this for gps or on a wifi network, so would I need a sim in it....?? All this newfangled comfusor stuff is...

When you're stuck and needing to use this, you're not going anywhere unless you do.... I have one of these and they are brilliant...I haven't had to use it in anger yet (did use it in a camel trophy recovery class around a big rock and it worked perfect, no slippage or give). but I've done my...

And my gearshift defender...this locks the gearshift in reverse gear and in difflock to stop it from being stolen...locks it solid to the transmission...

I also have an easy to use brake defender that my manufacturer wanted to steal and call his own..still in the hands of my lawyers but it's probably for the better as redesigned it better...this unit stops you from being able to release the parking brake...

I love whole milk....... and as such we go through a good deal of it on the road...especially with making a couple of cuppas per day...our Engel fridge does a great job of keeping it cold but every time we pulled the milk out something would fall in its place and it was a pain to put it back...

I've always been concerned with no low coolant level warning system and it's a pain constantly checking the level as you can't see into the top of where the td5 reservoir is located...I recently did a system on another truck I'm building and I think I will do the same on this one..will have to...
