Found a reason to use the Winch today... Pulled up a small bush.
Warn 9.5xp with synthetic line and Mantec aluminium (8mm?) skid plate, all installed on vehicle as an option when it was new, from factory. At some point before the Winter hits I will tear down the Winch and re-grease / repaint. Did this once about 3 years ago.
Replaced EAS rear air valve block. Fixed my sloooooow sinking. Learned my lesson on the front block leak to not ignore it and wear out the compressor prematurely. Maybe I lucked out and have slightly longer air tubes, it was easier than the front to swap out.
PSA - The replacement I bought on ebay was clearly counterfeit, but seems to be working. Should have bought it from the normal L8 or AB. The OEM have torx screws and LR logo on top. The Ebay ad conspicuously did not show this side:
Just getting set to drive to Edmonton to get a sidewinder spare key cut and then will be repairing the non-working FOB/key. At that point, will be programming all keys with the IIDTool BT which I have been playing with to try to resolve an intermittent engine O2 sensor problem, going to try to see if I can get some "live" readings of what's happening...
Edit: Got the keys cut at "Lock Surgeon" on 118 Ave in West Edmonton, about $90 and an absolute perfect fit, the fellow even tried it in the ignition and door lock (lubed the door lock) to guarantee the fit. After trying to deal with others and failing, I'd recommend these folks if you are in this area and need to get a sidewinder key cut. Now I just have to wait for my UK rechargeable batteries to arrive, then unsolder the old, solder the new, and find out if there are any other electronics related errors before re-programming them all. Did discover I have a small oil leak (AN-6 barb connector) so will fix that tomorrow at the shop...

Reason: Add more info
How many miles on the O2 sensors? Mine started complaining at 145,000 miles. They are pricey, but replacing them made a big improvement in engine power (probably MPG too).
