WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Well, the wet tent went on Tuesday morning into the garage for drying before I left off heading for the EMS trade show at Fulda. Last night back at home this morning started with the indicator light - thanks to Manuel, who is breaking a A SWB near Aachen...

No use for that angled screwdriver - had to loosen the bar.

Test

Some dent is left & the right wing is bent a bit. Strong british wood has caused this...

Same motif, but I do prefer the "ambiente" of the annual at avalanche

Thanks to FatBaz, Rospicer and all other guys - I missed you all today so very much :wink:

New bolts are now in place and the fueltank securing strap is waiting for new challenges

Well done JEOH. Glad she is all fixed. You got to use some of those very clean tools at last.

Cheers Andy. I have a provisional date of next Sunday in my head. Failing that weekend after the jubilee.

Packed the truck up ready to go laneing tomorrow

@neal sorry mate i can't do next sunday as i'm spending the night in london because i have a medical in harley street on the monday morning

and now the pic's from yesterdays work
the rear bumper removal and lwb light conversion

and then after cleaning it and polishing it

Big job broke renewed the rocker cover gasket :lol:

I did more welding on that 2.6 trooper . Its patchy least im nearly finished the inside

Removed the wheels to eyeball the brake pads and discs, then roped in Dad as pedal monkey / reservoir filler while I bled the system.
Fluid level was a bit low and judging by the number of bubbles, obviously I had some air in the system. Colour of the fluid wasn't exactly healthy, either.

Much better now, but I'm pondering refurbing the master cylinder when I swap in all the extended hoses for the Calmini kit. Should have tip top brakes then methinks...

Finally got round to sorting the towbar electrics, the number plate is now on the back door, that was fun to do. Well the light bit was (not) as the hinges got in the way and I ended up taking the door off to get the thing on and the nuts tight.

The two (new) trailor sockets are now on the bumper so hopefully they wont get ploughed off again (3 times was enough).

Oh and I washed it too..... scratchy scratchy :lol:

Used it to go laneing again and had a cracking day

Did some great lanes around the Shropshire area and even managed pub lunch :drink:

today i made my new bumper
then got into my fronty and spoted my windscreen is cracked.

so now haveing to get a new screen

Still aint emptied it from the Annual :oops:

New track rods and ends replaced,(all on my own too

) just got to get the tracking done tomorrow now

Now in pub celebrating the missus finishing uni :party:

washed the avalanch mud off checked my rusty tank guard and there are probably a few bits of it round the site i now have gaps and my hand brake i'snt working so well so prob full of crud. but considering she was standard she did well.

Purchased a pair of manual locking hubs. Must remember lightly grease lol
