Default DI Wipers Arms on DII

Nothing new here just my poor "show N' Tell" on switching DII wiper arms for DI wipers since we have no dealers on island and I wanted to get whatever wiper blades I want...

DI wipers - Land Rover Club V.I.

Very nice! It's kinda military like.

Do you need a care package sent to you? I'm going to Walmart later!

DI wiper arms are a must in my opinion. I switched over to them a year ago and picked up a pair of silblades. Much better in the rain and snow than the crappy dealer blades. Plus the DI wiper arms retain much more tension than the stock D2 arms.

I need: (You have to click on each one to know which I prefer...)

1. Soap

2. Shampoo

3. Toothpaste

4. Beef Jerky

5. LR Magazines

That's not much to ask for is it?

Interesting, are they still 21" size still matters.

I just thought Josh ran out of parts on the island.

That is some toothpaste!

LOL. I didn't run out of parts silly.....

My wiper blades were in OK condition and the arms look brand new. I simply had the DI arms laying around and decided to finally switch them.



I really like the rugged look of the rear arm... "held down with zip ties"

Maybe the Professor can rig some coconuts to work for lights on your rack? While Ginger and Mary Anne prepare the escape raft.




Get it???

HAHA of course.. I'm young but not that young!

DiscoMike and I are working on making my rig float and adding a propeller to the rear "prop shaft" so I can float back home...

Your "soap" is high on my me-want list. I think the old school look works well on the DII.

I give you tons of credit. I spent a few months in the VI and every single vehicle I saw was smashed up somehow. Small roads, driving on the wrong side in some cars. Scared me to death riding in a taxi, although I was drunk most of the time.

That reminds me I think i owe some pics of the local cars around here. You are dead on how they look. And we do drive on the left with LHD U.S. spec cars... how silly huh?

You guys drive on the "wrong" side of the road with the "right" left hand drive?!

Driving in the UK and Souther Africa in a RHD convinced me I would die if I tried driving a car that wasn't set up for the correct side of the road as the area I was in. You KrAzY goats for rollin' your own way!


And a for Disco Girl's avs!

Its very easy to adapt down here since all the roads are only two lane. (one going and one coming) The intersections are what get confusing but you learn very quick. the only time you might mess up is if you are on the phone while coming out of a shopping center and you get in the right lane to exit and wonder why the native driving in is cursing you....(ask me how I know)

LOL...

the rental cars have stickers on the windshield that read "STAY LEFT <<<<"
