Mid life crisis Cali Swamper!

Probably my OCD but those yellow dots from manufacturing were removed within nanoseconds of purchase.

Those yellow dots have a purpose. They mark the lightest part of the tyre.

At least they match the color of your van! At any rate, this is what proper balancing is for.

Great day off road driving on Sardinia. There are some epic trails here but thought I would stick to the easier ones to start with, might go for something more taxing tomorrow. 30km through a gorge, with some nice ups and downs. I used the hill descent in anger for the first time and it was very effective. Can’t adjust your speed on the fly like my Landy but very controlled. @Webbah_in_Switzerland the Wildpeaks were flawless especially when I aired down a bit. TBH the terrain was dry with a few patches of deep sand so not a huge test. Did a bit of mild rock crawling and they were solid.

Some Swamper stash for those that like this sort of thing. Headrest storage, I keep some tools, sunglasses, torch and small fire extinguisher in mine. Quite a cool American cottage brand and I didn’t get any tariffs or fees on my order ;-)

Headrest

The Headrest Gen 2 is built with an EVA foam padded head support, sunglasses pocket across the top and a zipped pocket across the back with additional organization inside. This adjustable Headrest is adaptable with most vehicles and looks best with the driver & passenger paired up. Two sizes to...

That’s pretty cool. Did you go for the standard size?
Cheap enough to not attract import duty too

I did, fits a treat. Would have gone for a pair but on the passengers seat when swivelled would be quite tight.

Looks fun and a reasonable price too. I’m in the middle of a 25 day holiday so no more time off for me this Summer :-(

More off road fun in Sardinia, it’s an off road drivers paradise and a good proving ground for how far you can push a 4M Cali. Today’s trail was very easy but with a lot more exposure than previous ones I’ve tried but had some lose sandy sections. Used the Hill Descent a lot for added reassurance on the steep hairpins with crumbly surface, it really works very well indeed - you can control your speed by feathering the accelerator or brake. It will happily crawl at walking pace which would be impossible with the DSG box without it. I now reckon it’s a must have option to look for any potential 4M buyer, on a par with the diff lock imo. Every day I’m surprised by the Cali's capability, I hope I stay the right side of it in the coming days!
