People power

Have to say Adrian Flux have never tried to increase my premium despite declaring all my mods as none have been classed as performance related (and I mean all mods)

Interestingly my tyre size increase to 32" was just noted as "larger tyres" so there was no point in telling them when I went from 32" to 33".

Ah yes but tell them anyway. If some herbert slashes your tyres they may quibble if your 33s are £200 each

It took me months to get AF to confirm in writting the mods I had declared. I wanted to be sure the chappie on the phone had transcribed correctly as there was no mention of the actual mods on the policy , other than "modified suspension" or "larger tyres". I have flippin' expensive offroad type alloys and wanted them written in and confirmed that locking wheel nuts were not reqd etc.
Cover is one thing, getting paid out quite another

Yep.Adrian Flux. And they still have not called me back

On the plus side my two new Pro Comp 37" s should be waiting at home for me on Friday.
I think I'll put them both on the rear and keep the coopers on the front and use the Mickey Thompson as the spare and the last cooper as the spare spare

Next on the list is a decent rear bumper and a full set of late 17" patrol wheels tomatchmy spare, I think that will have to wait until next year

that is what you call service, Rick

The Patrolman · 22-07-2015, 21:32

The courier also broke down the packaging disposed of the pallet and rolled them into the hallway for my missus! Topman

solarman216 · 22-07-2015, 21:39

Who was the courier? I may use them in the future, Rick

The Patrolman · 22-07-2015, 21:59

Not sure till I get home on Friday ! But I think it's down to the individual and the recipient, I guess he didn't want to suffer the wrath of a tired mother on day 3of the school holidays at 08:30am

The Patrolman · 25-07-2015, 19:39

Look what I found in that garage this morning

The Patrolman · 25-07-2015, 19:40

And yes! that is a 5ft chest freezer behind them

The Patrolman · 25-07-2015, 19:40

And off to the garage to get them fitted

They're huge.

The Patrolman · 25-07-2015, 19:58

They don't look half as big on but I needed a spare. now I have two spares.

only problem I have now is that the 37" spare is too big for the back door

So I guess a roof mount is in order, leaving space on the rear door for some other useful bit of inspiration

As long as it's not too heavy to be getting it up there and taking it down when needed.
Rear shelving looks good.

The Patrolman · 25-07-2015, 20:29

I can manage it for now...
I have a spare spare wheel carrier that can be bolted to the roof rack and a padlock to keep it there

I can then make a decent cycle carrier for the rear door
