WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Fitted stainless A bar and, chisled off all the nobbly bits on the boot lip and covered with ali tread plate, fitted DVD player and TV tuner, changed bulbs for some brighter ones all whilst my buddy tinted the windows for me :dance:

i wired up my new cb radio also fitted the new silencer and rear pipe.jobs a good un' :lol:

Well, didn't actually make anything or fit anythng useful, though, what I actually did was get it stuck. A few of us were out night laning toninght, on a particular lane the track splits, one way its flat-ish field the other way it's long grass and undulating terrain. So for a change I led everyone along the undulating terrain (never driven this bit before) when all of a sudden the undulation went extreme and I disappeared down a hole (deep enough I had to climb out the window). There I was sat on the rear diff and front cross member and only the near side wheels contacting the ground. All this and leaning over at a bit odd an angle.

The shame of it was having to be winched out by a Range Rover, a consulation prize was that only 2 LR 90's with ARB lockers and 35 inch simex pattern tyres went through. The Disco's and LR110 bottled out.

I think with an extra inch of lift, 33inch tyres and no anti roll bars and the Fronty would have made it.

First time I ever got stuck in it, had to rescue a few green ovals in it when the going gets slippery on occasion.

Gave the Landy Lemmings something to chirp about when we got to the pub.

Stuart :oops:

Bleed the clutch, as it started playing up on the way home sunday.

Feels like i'm driving a new car now!

Stopped the truck from bleeding !

Wynn's engine flush, drained oil, removed the filter, and then cleaned the milimeter of crud off the metal face the filter seals against.

Followed this up with new oil and a genuine Vx filter, and jobs a good un !

No more complaints about the pubble on the drive

Investigated the overheating problem on Tessie,
Took out the radiator to find it full of mud :lol:

jet washed it and fitted it back in.
Did the same to the intercooler rad.
No more over heating :dance:

Repaired the front fog lamps once again after going in deep water lots of silicon round them so they don't fill up again.

But then i notice the under bell has gone

not so much on the truck but for the truck

i fitted a pressure regulator and valve to my compressor and set it at 87psi max

as compressor runs at 140psi max & i dont want to blow the air tools the max safety pressure is 97psi :drink:

Andy,

Might as well remove the cat, chop the birds nest, flip the bj's and have it all done.......

I washed mine yesterday

Made some braided brake hoses for the rear axle and fitted them along with some nice new copper pipes

Finally this morning (after nearly a month) I managed to complete the process of exporting my truck from the UK and re-registering it in Guernsey :dance:

Having done that, I have ordered the new plates which will be ready tomorrow and at the weekend I can get rid of those hideous black on white/yellow things with letters on that you people insist on using !

Then I can fit some nice silver on black letter-free plates

finally got around to straightening the nudge bar and re-fitting the checker plate to the side step......all damaged whilst on the weekender in Wales back in august-ish

found and solved "new" rattle....exhaust bracket on cross-member worked loose....free fix...loberly jubblie

also fitted a pair of spots, that were donated by a neighbour (yet to wire them up, so they are merely decrotive for now)

Finished of air horns and fix electrical faults changed front bulbs to more powerful ones so have more light.
now time for a :drink:
