I indulged in a set of 'canvas style' 4x4 seat covers - but upon opening them up, they look, feel and smell crap - they state air bag compatible, but I wouldn't risk my family's wellbeing on them...straight back for a refund on Monday...

Yeh, I looked at them as well, but Canvas Style isn't quite Canvas.

I didn't even put them in the trolley.
Did buy 2 sets of the locking tracks for the back of the ute.

I tried some of their old style canvas ones, but they didn't fit the Prado and ripped when I tried to fit them... They took them back now questions asked.

I bought a set of their neoprene ones this time, but am waiting to try and fit them as the cars been away from the weekend

I bought a compressor, 4x4 mats and a trunk protector

There is a bit of weight in the compressor- I can see how 4x4s and campers etc get close to their towing limit

Yeah, the compressors draw a fair bit of current too, but they do pump up tyres very quickly.

Bought an awning and installed it.
Only issues I had was there were only 6 attachment bolts in the kit when you really need at least 8 to follow the instruction and the nylex nuts were missing which were replaced from another pack with no problems.
Due to my roof rack/basket setup I used ubolts to fasten the angle brackets, to which the awning is attached, to the roof rack.
Also the awning rope locking screw on the track was right in front of the horizontal pole location hole making it difficult to insert.
All in all the quality of the materials seems OK for the price.

Went and picked up a mechless car stereo to see if it was any good, usb/sd/bt for $60.
 Read the manual and it said it had an ISO which i thought should plug straight in to my factory loom.
 Got it home and found that it has an ISO compatible loom with bare wires on the end which is not so plug n play, going to take it back and go to supercheap and get a Fusion mechless head unit for an extra $9.
