WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Had jeep give it a update to a previously done recall. Took the poor bloke 1 and a half days to get the go ahead from the warranty department but he got it done. Can't help but think all that time he spent trying to get them to pay for it cost them more than the 15 mins it took for the technician to do it, and it was a software update, so only 2 of those 15 mins was actually him doing anything lol. But now I have low range again and it seems it needs a set of new glow plugs as it had a stored error code for all 6 of them lol.

I've also ordered some 2" wheel spacers from the states and a bonnet guard from Windsor, all of which are on route to my door as we speak

Next up find out what's clunking at the front end then fit some new bigger boots (either 265 70 17 or if I can afford to lift it before the current tyres completely expire some 285 70 17 :twisted:

)

Did some more work on the rear end rewire, just started fitting the Superseal Connectors to tie the various bits of loom together.

First up was the fuel gauge wiring, fitted the plug and tested but the gauge and warning light are not working correctly so will have to revisit.

Next up was the rear lights, this was more successful and they are working which leaves the rear wiper and demister wiring to sort out.

Not so much what I did to the truck, but more what the truck did for FOG. Picked up the sign from Bobster (cracking bloke, and cheers for the cuppa you two) and started its journey to the SE woods. Had to make sure it was aligned properly for any low flying aircraft as well. As Greg says it looks like a huge radar dish.

The AWACS version of the trooper!!! :lol:

Greased it, New air filter, checked for right fluid levels. New ignition thingies (Sparks?) and fuel filter and some tools (reduced to a min) packed into the car. Camping gear and luggage for three weeks as well.

Actual "mileage" counter reads 226.045 km - this holiday we surely crack the 230.000...
May the God of Fronteras be with us :lol:

Bought it!

Tidy......

saw that and thought "that looks like a winch bumper i have just sold"

Bought some new All Terrain tyres and steel rims.

Should of said you wanted a 2.8 lwb. I have one I can't get rid of. Looks like it has a lift on it???

To be honest I wasn't actually looking for one, I accidently bought it lol. Yeah has lift.

Was bored the other day so did a local lane and then stopped for a quick photo shoot, then came up with this photo which I liked.

Well not my truck but put my old rims and muds onto Robfog's truck.

Truck looks good and if i say so myself so do the rims and tyres.....

Picked up my new 2.8 Lwb he looks so small sitting next to my 2.0 and the 2.8 has a 2 inch left :lol:

Removed all my mods from ED with help from the rednecks :lol:

It looks so sad now

Then Started modifying the 2.8
The 2.8 tank guard has seen better days :lol:

Fitted the lift kit to the rear as I knew I wouldn't have time to do the front. Looks good now, well the back does lol. Looks like it's in a permanent state of hard braking but hay. I'll do the front soon

Put the new crankshaft pully on. Was a bargain from e-bay at £34!!!!! Job's a goodun!!!!

i put a pair of landrover discovery plus2"spings on the rear of my swb frontera, wow what a difference,not like the original coat hanger wire ones lol :thumbup:

Fitted a new exhaust to the 2.8

Broke it then fixed it...
