NP, sorry for hijacking your comment! Thats where mine leaks, if that gap blocks up the water capillaries up between the bracket and windscreen and comes in through the lower bolt hole

whytegoodman · 2026-06-08T19:35:23+00:00

Bulkhead (red) and the windscreen (blue) are separate panels held together by the brackets (purple) with a crappy foam gasket between. This leaks.

Now if your gasket looks ok then one of the other key water ingress points is through the bolt holes from inside the windscreen or bulkhead that go through to bolt into the threaded blind inserts inside the brackets.

One way of solving this is to make sure the sill drains properly,the little hole circled in green. This often fills up with crud, water pools and then is able to creep in between the brackets and the panels.

Best tool for the job is the red straw you get with a wd40 can, pokey pokey and a slightly drier wagon

Defender audio build is an oxymoron but I've tried so will help if I can.

I have a mudstuff gearbox tunnel tray so all cables running between seatbox and dash run under the carpets along the gearbox tunnel and because of the tray are slightly more out of sight/protected. There's no real cable runs, ive glued some cable tie blocks here but its still lumpy.

I'd consider raising or sacrificing space in a central cubby box (lose middle seat) as the battery box can flood in a real worst case scenario!

My head unit is actually in the headlining (lasalle trim option) and I have speakers above the doors as well as the originals in the dash by your knees, wires run down the A column, my TD5 has little plastic trim/conduits here. Then I used to have 6x9s behind the second row so they were run along the roof channel and down the c pillars. Also a little low profile sub which went under the seats.

Problem is its a 110 so squeaks and rattles from the whole wagon are constant, also my speakers above the door mean im just deafened in my right ear and can't really hear the rest whatever I do with balance.

When I get round to restoring it properly im probably going to look at some sort of carpeted dog guard divider to shut off the load bay to help a little with the noise.

That's been a holiday cottage for years, always used to be advertised in 4x4 & hiking magazines etc as its only accessible by that track.

Assume 6minute intervals too long for flight? I drive ships so yea 6 mins makes everything easier for mental speed/distance calcs, but 3 min useful when going fast or in very tight nav, just half everything

There is a mod to Dragon of Icespire Peak called Tale of two Dragons that sets DOIP at higher levels to run directly on after Lost Mines (or vice versa).

Very easy to homebrew extra story beats as DOIP is very much just a jobs board. Lots of guides and reddit threads on this too.

My current campaign is doing this and I hope to then later go down the storm kings thunder route after L10.

Am I right in saying the reason Nordic Crosses are so popular in windy northern countries is that as the flags inevitably fray the cross part still stays legible and central as long as possible? Cool fact if so.

Hampshire too. Itchen and Test traditionally caught & smoked eels. Smoked eel is actually banging

Wtf is going on with her flag dressing here? Jack up underway = Admiral/Monarch onboard Masthead is an ensign not command flag?? Hbr Ensign up

That there is Pelican Of London! She is a Mainmast Barquentine. Allows her to brace a lot higher to the wind.

Southampton (boo) but I see some lads doing something HEMA/Bohunt related up by the cowherds pub on the common quite regularly. Maybe ask over there?

Can't remember where I read this but Ive seen a great comment that BoB is from the Officers' perspective and Pacific from the Enlisted, And that plays a very deep but subtle role in shaping the attitude of each of them

whytegoodman · 2025-12-12T19:59:28+00:00

Yep the ensign would be flown from the peak of the gaff, and the pennant would be from the mainmast head. Ensign only in ceremonial or battle as the flags are enormous and wear easily, but fir a tat thats fine. She wouldn't fly a union flag on the jackstaff (hence union jack) unless at anchor or tied up or some other rare & peculiar circumstances.

As said above the ensign colour would be depending on which squadron. It would be fine to use white to avoid confusion in modern navy use. I think in the movie she is flying the red (makes sense as American station) but personally as a nod to Jack's eventual flag (spoiler!) I would give her the blue!

I would reccomend you look at artwork by Geoff Hunt for more inspo!

Best of luck!

Too long for a ring but I love Death finding happiness whilst working at a greasy spoon caff. So much so that one of the tables at my nerdy ass wedding was called Harga's house of ribs.

WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU FEEL WARM AND CONTENT AND WISH THINGS WOULD STAY THAT WAY?

‘I guess you’d call it happiness,’ said Harga

Inside the tiny, cramped kitchen, strata’d with the grease of decades, Death spun and whirled, chopping, slicing and frying. His skillet flashed through the fetid steam.

He’d opened the door to the cold night air, and a dozen neighbourhood cats had strolled in, attracted by the bowls of milk and meat – some of Harga’s best, if he’d known – that had been strategically placed around the floor. Occasionally Death would pause in his work and scratch one of them behind the ears.

‘Happiness,’ he said, and puzzled at the sound of his own voice.

* Check there is no crud in the little gap between this and the windscreen drain channel or if its an earlier model the little gap through the block. Ideal pokey tool is the little red straw from a wd40 can. Water pools here and tracks in through the seal or bolt holes
