WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

What grade :think:

tell me about it i thought it was just worn plate but was like fook me when i took it off ... love the 2.3 its no racer and low on power but its good on juice and seems prity robust touch wood its the only thing ive had to really fix on it .... so far :shh:

hi newbie to the forum here, thank god i joined though because that frame is a brilliant idea :clap:

, been chasein an oil leak on my frontera today, when i first spotted the thing leaking i thought........ rear crank seal! but im not convinced, im havin a nose around to see if i can find a different cause of the leak, so far iv noticed a split in the (excuse the terms) big ass pipe that comes from the turbo down to the intercooler?radiator?. (i have know idea whats what there is a water radiator, and two other small rads it goes to the small rad,)i could follow the oil trail from this pipe all the way down the back of the block over the top of the gearbox to were the drops are on the drive, i also have some oil pipes to the back of my engine close to the bulkhead that look abit grimey,but its a tad tight to see were the pipes are going, so i may need to mock one of these frames up if there is no 'patents pending' to drop the box out to have a clearer view.

I honestly went to sort the wiring on the troopers engine conversion but well i ran away i then went to do the body work on bighorn but ach well i could not be Bothered soi did nothing

Replaced drivers upper ball joint ... old one had about 4mm of play in it :oops:

On the B series conversion
Not done to day BUT got the gearbox fitted back in again along with the cross member and slightly modded gearbox mounting plate,
have now got a prop shaft thanks to rospicer, just have to get it shortened by about 3-4 inches
just received the 2.2dti down pipe, will have to shorten and change the front flange so it will fit the isuzu 2.5 turbo/ adapter pipe.
also replace all brake pipes and fuel pipes along with sender unit.
So hope it wont be to long till it's up and running

Fooled myself...!

Got the luxury of my uncle's shed to to some clean up work while the snow was quite heavy outside... Got the carpet out - no more details here...

After all, the truck didn't want to start again! Checked relais, changed relais, looked for anything I remebered so far.

Immobiliser!

Shut the door - it started!

I have to turn myself to "summer-mode" asap...
