So, you’re likely to know by now we will be attending the Big Red Bash for this year. Hopefully, anyone who is coming is completing their pre-trip checks and getting there setups right, because it’s getting close! That is if you haven’t left already!

The last time we attended was in 2016, a long time between drinks. During that trip, we had a fair few people including customers come up to us asking for help to get glass repaired – we did the best we could, being out of range – arranging for claim lodgements and trying to get glass ready from partners like ARB for broken canopy glass. This year we are coming a little more prepared!

The number of times we saw duct tape and cardboard concoctions on rear windshields was remarkable – so we are bringing along some patch kits for those of you who may have broken, shattered or cracked glass on your rig. Made up of a one-way vinyl, our stickers will be large enough to go across a windscreen or any other glass on your rig. Not a long-term solution but should help to reinforce cracked or shattered glass until you can get a repair or replacement done. All we ask is that you take a photo and tag us in it when you get it on.

We will be bringing along a limited number of these to the bash as a kit with a squidgy and trimming blade – so make sure you get over to see Leo at the Club 4X4 stand if you need one!

Happy Touring Kalen
