Installed OCDPlug screen protector and found an air freshener from FRSHLABS that I thought was pretty cool. Yes, I'm an "air freshener from the mirror" guy now, because as a kiddy transporter, there can be interesting smells going on. This is one of their stock designs, but you can send them any picture and they'll make a custom one for almost the same price. It's wood, so you just add the oil you like to it.
Also finally replaced my tires. What a difference! I went from Pirelli Scorpion Verde II to Nitto NT420V. The Pirellis were getting pretty close to the wear bars, but I wasn't ever a massive fan of them. They became loud fairly quickly and as they wore down this thing was following road grooves so much that I thought something was broken! And this was with less and 25K miles on them. I understand I drive this tank harder than some would, but I expect better life out of tires like that. My choices were somewhat limited in the 285/50-20 size, and these Nittos got good reviews. I know a few people that have them, and I'm not sure why I didn't get them originally. The car feels transformed, quiet, rides better, doesn't tramline, and they look better IMO. Now all that is to be expected when going from worn to new tires, so I'll see how they do after some use.

Took the plunge to Air Ride! Installed by Kean Suspensions here in Belgium. They were excited to work on an American model.
Ride is plush, with fully adjustable rebound and dampening struts. Accuair E+ allows me to fully control ride height. I have 4 presets: stock height, lowered normal driving, lowered cruising, fully aired out. On auto start, it automatically adjusts to lowered normal driving.
Kean Suspensions just posted some pics on their Facebook page, check it out! They’re a great family-owned operation, and really good folks!
