Had new tyres fitted today. Gone for the same Yokohama Geolanders G015 in OEM size 195/80/15. 
I fitted the last set in June 2020, I have been very happy with them, so didn't even consider an alternative.

Changed the transfer case oil. Again. Did a fast oil change also after the ferry from dk on my way home.
Full of water from almost crossing a puddle. Hoping most water is out now. 
Also removed passenger Seat to lift the carpet so it could dry out.
Also checked the other oils and fitted breather hose to axles and transfer and run them all up to the top of the bulk head. 
Also dismantle and rinse and lubed my little Electric saw that was under the seat, saved it. Not sure I can save my amplifier. 
Still was a very fun trip and I am doing it again next year. :)

Hooked the breather hoses up to the air filter box and sealed, tightened the steering pump belt. It seems Kameka brand belts are not very good.
Got the car up on stands before removing the transfer case for inspection and a bit refurbishing.

Not me, but a man in a van (though I did ring him).

Air-con re-gas today, he seem s confident there isn't a leak as there was still pressure in the system, but not enough.

The Gen4 runs the new eco-friendly gas, which apparently evaporates quicker than the old gas. Don't think I've done too badly at nearly 7 1/2 years old, as I hardly ever use it. I prefer to have the windows down when I can.
