Hi Steve Where did you purchase the Entreq headlight plate and rings from? |

They were from 4x4 Overlander - not sure if they still sell them but worth an ask. They’re still looking good as new after 4+ years...

Not much to report in the way of updates recently. Just a couple of minor bits:
Replaced the bumperettes with some new galvanised ones off eBay (the old ones I fitted previously were a bit too scabby):  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Oh and I also picked up an original (1980s?) windscreen sticker: Click image to enlarge Other than that, it’s just been a case of enjoying it and giving the tent a good airing/clean/check. Hoping to use it next summer with my little lad. Click image to enlarge |

Nice to see your wheels are not rusting up yet. One job for 2018 might be to get mine painted/powder coated. 2011 110 USW

Thanks Steve. Out of interest, are they just affixed with the 4 x screws in the headlight ring and the 4x side/indicator light screws?
Looks like it makes for a nice clean finish. Seriously considering a set. |

Yes that’s right - they just use the fixings on the headlight surround and indicator/sidelight. No extra holes required.
My wheels were starting to rust Dan, but I got them stripped and power coated free of charge after the dealership took a load of paint off them when it was in for a service. Bit heavy handed with the air gun I think! Either way, I ended up with shiny wheels again so all is good... |

I think they have been re-painted recently - original Wolfs start to rust almost immediately... |

I did noticed after I posted that they had been repainted. My look pretty shabby now after six years of mud and dirt. 2011 110 USW

Just realised I haven’t updated this thread in ages! Nothing much to report spec-wise, I’ve just been enjoying using it!
Here’s a few recent pics from this weekend - spot of local laning followed by a run out to Caffeine & Machine (awesome place!). Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Looks brilliant! Drove by Caffiene and Machine on the way to a meeting and swore I would make the effort to go back at some point. Were you at the 4x4 meet?

It’s well worth a visit - simply one of the coolest petrolhead meeting places in the world! Yes there was a 4x4 gathering alongside the usual mix of interesting machinery on Saturday.
