Ah okay!! Normally I pour the water straight from the bottle 😂 Interesting, is that to wash any sand away from the seal area with pressure?

Yep I’m pretty sure! Wash any sand away + create a seal

Good discussion @Benjamin

all my gears below

I put in two plastic boxes and tied them down. 

Thanks @Ishak for sharing! Looks nice  

do these ropes manage to hold gear in place? Looks like you have it nicely tightened! I found I always had to restrap gear down half way through a drive when I used one strap 😛

Always love to show off the back board, one of the first things I made for Gladis there is storage attached to the back too 😊😊😊

@Mark B Beautiful. Love the black/red color scheme too.

That's true off-road art right there 😁

I love to see these cargo area pictures. It's like a behind-the-scenes look or behind the stage look, just in off-roading 😆

So far it’s good and I need to have stronger boxes, one of them cracked on the side because I forgot to tied two strap to the compressor box.

Hi @Ishak just curious what the white bottle in front of the shovels is for? Never seen this equipment. Thanks

Long story @Patrick 😅.

On my first 3 Newbie drives I always have transmission overheated then the convoy stopped for me just to wait my transmission to cools down. One of the driver brought me that bottle and sprayed the transmission oil cooler and I remember he said “as Pajero owner this is a must” since then I call this bottle “Pajero extra transmission cooler” 😎. On the 4th newbie drive,  I brought this cooler with confidence but one of the driver told me to try to drive in Triptonic. I did it and never have overheating issue anymore 😅.

As @Benjamin said, we use it when we have a pop out but I never use it for that yet. So far I use it after the drive to wash my hand when I finish with the tire and the most important is to wash my face because I want to look fresh before saying “it’s a pleasure to drive with you, see you on the next drive soon 🤝😅.

Post drive fresh-up and facial misting 😁 Where to get this thing? Garden shop?

@ishak Well, we have recovery gear for car. Now this is what I call "personal recovery gear" 👍
