This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Hmmm, I seem to have dropped off the list for this one....
Anyhow, seeing as the SE Picnic the preceding weekend has been rained off, I see no reason why I should miss this one. Be nice to see some of the faces who couldn't make the Annual this summer. Think I'll try an experiment with kennelling the dog too, so it'll just be me and the truck.

Right, cheeky I know, but assuming I get out there and properly drown everything in WD40, what would be my chances of getting my Yaki body lift kit fitted??
Done my SWB in the past so not totally clueless, but as ever extra bodies are always useful.

I'll bring the angle grinder for the bolts then Jim. Although I may be a tad busy swapping gearboxes, back axles and the cam belt. Oh and I've a cunning plan to do away with the brick cam belt tensioner too :lol:
