Hi Wally – it’s more of a pet name than anything else, and just makes us sound that much more rugged! Who are we kidding? db

Have you worked out why the air bags are duelling? Does this disagreement date back some time, or did you mean ‘dual’ air bags?

You have chosen an ideal vehicle-from the owner of a SWB Diesel Maverick a bit older than yours. Good luck to you. I’m jealous and have to enjoy my FWD’ing with offroading in Oz.Cape York in 2009. Cheers, Neville.
