Buy another 2.8 lwb for lanning, general toy and as a spare truck for work. This would then in turn allow for a gentler life for the one I've already got and allow me to do more intrusive maintenance as required on both because I wont need to get it on the road for work quiet so quickly.
Oh, I would also bung a bit on top and get a new turbo, brake callipers, wheelbearings and possibly a steering pump. Not because they are needed now but they are getting harder to get hold off and I don't plan on changing the truck for a few more years yet.

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.
