:lol: now you have a truck that could stand in for the local civil defence headqauters :shock:

I'd go with the above perhaps without the blankets( 8) I have dogs and bits of tinfoil all through me truck dosn't excite me...), next tow hooks (don't buy em unless they are rated and make certain they are fitted properly, or you could end up killing someone!!) a good snatchstrap ( don't buy super cheap here, there is a difference!!) and a shovel then look at making the truck bigger and better things like tires suspension etc

Cheers Reece

I was in Central when I kitted out... Its nice to have a blanket when your stuck in the mountains in a blizzard ;-) Not so necessary in canty though :)

PS: Glad to see your back and things have calmed down a little
