Tony, on the fitting of your tyres; My understanding is that you will get a longer life from your tyres, if you swap the two front wheels around, so that the leading part of the cleat (outsides of tyre) hit the ground first.
The way you have then now, is for a "driving" wheel as opposed to a "driven" wheel. How the front tyres of a 4x4 or 6x4, were fitted depended on the expected use. ie.the percentage of road use as opposed to 4 wheel, or 6 wheel drive use.
She looks great!
