WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Are you sure that is the mileometer mate?? :think:

, might be the counter for how many boot floors or inner wings its had! :lol:

you tease rob :lol:

New front wheel bearings, new cat, new lambda sensor, new HT leads and a siezed caliper sorted.

Recaro seats recovered in red and black leather and getting fitted at the weekend and fabric paint on the way to "paint" the door cards and carpets black.

Bring on the snow

Still loosing coolant though :-/. New rad is going to have to wait. Rad weld holding it together for now.

Fitted a new shiny alternator to the truck...

Got it from these folks, discount if you ring them up. Ordered Monday, delivered Tuesday...

Took three days (evenings) to get the last bolt out, and about 15 mins to drag the old one out and fit the new one once the bolt came out!!!

That's unusual. The bottom bolt isn't normally too bad to get out , but can be a living nightmare to get back in !

It was a doddle to get back in, but getting the thing out.... Didnt help that it was pi****g down, was dark and a puddle or was it a river? had formed under the truck. And the problem was compounded by the fact that the bolt had two groves worn in it by the alternator which were doing a good job of jamming it all up

When we did mine the bolt had rusted up and it was the rust itself stopping the bolt coming out, it would turn and we could even get the nut off, but I think it took us a long prybar (aka the breaker bar) and a ratchet strap to press the bolt out :shock:

and a grinding wheel to polish up the bolt so it would go back in again lol

Nah, you were right first time Rob, I don't like his 2.8 either! Must be a Dan thing...

Today, my truck's having a relaxing day off as I got the train with my bicycle to London. Going to be fun riding these streets for the first time :shock:

Put her back on the road for winter after being on a SORN since April. Insured MOT no advisory straight through and taxed then took her for a spin. Good to have it back on the road miss driving it

Drove the old thing 50 miles today, just to see if it would as it aint done more than that in two months :lol:

Took 2 passengers to the DOG WASH in it, then brought em back smelling SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better! :thumbup:

As I drive a disco thought I would warn other road users :lol:

@ landytats :rotfl:

I nearly spat my beer across the living room when I saw that.

This may help to Andy :lol:

Now that is funny :lol:

where can I get one of them

Dunno I pinched it from the net somewhere ages ago, shouldnt be to hard to get one made up :lol:

Last night ... filled the Trooper with the first of many loads of stuff from the old house to the new one. Will post important pictures like:

* New Man Cave
* Frontera Repair Bay
* Frontera Parking Zones
* RatVan Storage Bay

Its all quite exciting .... and heavy going. Not even started on the old Man Cave yet

Fitted the bash protectors I got off hippo1024 last night. Fitted one at Cambridge last night lol and got the other one on this morning (slight difference in the brackets between the two trucks). Really pleased with them :thumbup:

Have to start saving for the winch stuff next lol.

Oh my two shackle brackets off a Landy arrived so going to bolt them through the tow bar with some sleeves. Means I can take the tow arm off for clearance but still have somewhere to tow landy's out of trouble :twisted:

Cheers

(Over the weekend) Fitted the replacement heater matrix, whilst i had the coolant out replaced one of the hoses that i bought from fudge a while back. All topped up with fresh antifreeze and bled through

Discussed snorkel and sus lift with the wife, we have clearance... :thumbup:
