WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

and side lights on as well.....just like driving a B :lol:

Cleaned up the two steering knuckles and brake discs from the 2.8 so I can use them on the 2.0 ( they look better than the 2.0 ones ) for when I fit the diff next weekend.
Then removed the auto hubs from the pickup because needs to borrow them until he can buy new manual hub.
Plus syphoned out 20L of diesel from the 2.8 again to help Ian out
Loaded up the car with tools , wheels & parts for robs spanner party tomorrow

Not much really, just fitted a new clutch (trooper stylee) to Truck and then got the gearbox back on with the help of Hound Dog. All the other little bits n bobs that get to come off when a gearbox comes out then followed along with the front bumper and bull-bars which were off so I could measure up for the winch bumper...

Had a brew, then fired it up and took it for a trip rond the block. No rattles this time, so the gearbox gets to stay on

Truck is back on the road again... until next time that is :lol:

Well done rob! All I did with mine was move it so I can work on the cavalier lol. But in those 25meters it performed flawlessly

I really need to get the front bumper sorted tho because its starting to look normal without one lol

Today I sorted out some jobs on the POD including fitting the foam bed ( transformers :lol:

)

Took Truck out for a quick 100 mile test run after changing pretty much all of the drive train and all went well so well chuffed there. Even gave it a good clean inside and outside too, sparkly truck now or what.

Now it's running again the next thing to do is a 2" lift and get the winch bumper sorted once the local metal shop has finished mucking around with it.

No good without piccies Frank!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Today the truck had a full service. also replaced the leaking oil pressure switch thats been sat in the glove box for about 3 months along with the rear anti roll bar bushes, upgraded these to polybush. two hours work all done.

Welding grinding cutting swearing joys of mk1 trooper/bighorns they think they are Landrover

Speak for yourself Drinks

Finally got around to changing the rear door, not fun when trying to do it alone :roll:

.

Good luck mate

Nice one rob, glad she passed, :thumbup:

we are all nearly ready for Wales now :drink:

Well done Rob nice that it went through!

Glad it was all worth the effort Rob :4x4:

Nice one rob! And as a bonus this truck has a boot floor lol

Proper chuffed for you Rob. Another one lives on.

big thanks to rob n andy for all the work on my truck this weekend, though it's continues today. It's looking well cool and big thanks to drift for the wheel bearing. Thanks to Lisa for keeping us fed n watered.

Just the handbrake cables, more welding and front brakes to do today then ready for the reveal at the annual :dance:

Reading the preps for the journey to Wales I decided to go into the shed to look for the things to do...

The rear speakers remained still in a box since I stripped Grünstreifen's interior last year.
Decided not to go for new speakers, but how to put them in without putting the whole sidepanel in Palace?

By sudden I got an used sweetbox of Haribo in hands...

The diameter fits, some holes cut into it, screwed at the wall...
Bingo!

Now again sound as engineered in Luton.

I bolted on my roof rack today. It originally was for a Citroen berlingo,but I modified it to fit. It's perfect for the Fronty.
