bit of trouble getting them seats clean again for the Mrs aye! I use some cheap as seat covers from repco that slide on & off the seat easy as, straight into the washing machine and as good as new. I think they were like $100 for the pair, sort of water proof and great for leaving the seats clean ready for driving to work or taking the Mrs out. Can get to the rest later :lol:
They don't fit tight so slide around a bit but well worth the money, me thinks. Great to hear you didn't break anything phew after the run you have had. :wink: I was keen on buying that Jeep when the previous owner was selling but you beat me to her. Ended up buying mine from Queenstown, we could have saved each other a lot of mileage aye. :lol:

Father in Law has one of these, repowered with Chevy diesel V8. the 360 sounded nicer, went well too. Dual fuel and wasn't too bad on the juice if you had a lightish foot.
