passed

Went to change the lower shock bushes for some nice new poly ones, but couldn't make anything out due to 3" of mud and straw coating everything from last weekends play in some mud. Spent an hour jet washing it all down and then gave up till tomorrow due to being soaked to the skin and covered in filth.

OH YES we now have a clutch :v happy:

new slave fitted and bleed

Well, fully armed with grinder, WD40, wire brush and lots of extra knowledge from friday I now have two new milner rear leaf springs fitted and looking lovely...and this side only took me 2hrs including cleaning up afterwards

Took the opportunity to wind up the front torsion bars at the same time as the truck was lurching forwards rather a lot, and leaning to one side by just over an inch.

Really pleased with the stilt-like results, piccies to follow, though do now have even more of a camber issue (question posed in suspension topic).

Moved a caravan on sunday. Taking it in to get the tracking done tomorrow afternoon.

Other then that... Nothing. Hardly driven the old girl at all since getting the new car.

I did buy her some tax and insurance just to keep her happy

Got a cracking deal on a fully comp policy. £147 for 5000 miles a year. Limited use and agreed value. Spot on for laning and the occasional weekend away

Refurbished the wheels as they were off whilst fixing the suspension - wire brush on teh drill to get rid of all the old flaky laquer, rubbed them down then primed and sprayed them. Pretty pleased with the result, especially as it cost me less than 7 quid and I have enough stuff left over to do the whole lot again when it starts looking shabby

Sorted - thanks for the link Sir D - had searched for "upload photos" but hadn't noticed that thread.

Nice job Lee you can do mine next

Never heard of a three wheel alignment machine before. Just get that Jockey wheel straight beforehand.

he could mean having a tracking devise fitted in case its stolen

if not its axel alignment

Thanks for the kind words Jason, and for the offer of work, but having just followed the links through to your truck there's no way i could ever DREAM of making anything even half as shiny as yours is!! My word thats one sparkly motor

FIXED IT!!!!! cheers tom......................your a legend!!!!

also sorted through the spotlights that i bought off jason, the big chrome jobbies are now big satin black jobbies to match the bumper...........
just got to measure, drill, figure out which wires and fit!!!!

Well done mate .
the spot light wiring should be already there thinking about it some one with a A will be able to tell you :idea:

Today i put my four new rough country +2 shocks on to day not so bouncy now

Did you measure the old shock against the new shock to check they where definitely +2 :?:
