Thank you Tom, I really appreciate your effort. For me it would be great if you could do those collabs/projects on a regular basis. Obv. if you have enought time for it. I would like to support Ukraine on a regular basis, especially the guys fighting on the front. Even if its just small things that can make their everyday lifes a little bit easier.

Yes, as mentioned, 'adopting' the 151st is what on my mind, too: most of us have no trace of clue just how much help is necessary. Thus, we're now going to continue: we just need to be careful and always first check what the unit needs. It often takes days to receive an answer.

'Step-by-step': first the second SUV, then more is to follow.

The cost of the "overhaul" for the Navara seemed incredibly cheap. Maybe I should get my car serviced in Ukraine.

I realise that they're in crisis mode but the reason that tyre got worn like that was almost certainly due to the broken strut. If they don't replace the strut the next tyre won't last very long. The damage will be compromising control of the vehicle at speed on rough terrain, and complicate directional control in the mud when it arrives. I don't know how close to the front they can get that work done but it wouldn't take long for an equipped workshop to replace the strut and align the wheels.

Thx. I'll forward this recommendation.

Not sure about those particular models but historically the Navara has been a more strongly built vehicle than the L200. I doubt the guys at the front will complain about not getting exactly what they asked for.

Thanks Tom! I’m ok with all the work done, and seems to “adopt” 151st is a very good thing. Hope to solve some “1st World Problems” around here in order to lend a bigger help, but as you said, every cent counts.
