WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

cheers booby

ive got one in the garage all ready painted and strapped in tank guard its just getting the time

all ive got to do is drop old one remove tank and put new one on :drink:

think i might do it during the week :drink:

i did the pump when i got the motor as it was rotten i replaced the rubber pipes and left them long enough to put tank on the floor
so i wont have to undo the pipework

Was pulling to the drivers side slightly, so s I havent checked the tyre pressures for a while I did the simple thing first, 10 psi low on the drivers side, pumped it up and now its not pulling

Simples

Tested brakes on a quiet road, purposely locked them up and they unlocked a treat, did this two or three times to test all well and nothing sticking or pulling

got under mine, got wet, got back out, sitting on the couch with coffee,

got back under, replaced oil in diff, put new seal on, (thanks drift), broke brake pipe, moved up and out the way and snaped the other end,

now sitting on couch with beer

spent most off the day with buddy putting new wiring harness in new fuse box and stuff not full harness nearly just lights as previous owners butchered it

dug out my copper pipe/unions and brake pipe kit, got one side done, started the other side, the bit that goes in to the spliter, almost tight and it goes and strips the thread on the union, should not have had them two beers

i got a wet bum thanks to the rain getting in had to losen bolts on round spots so i could lay them flat to put the sport in the garage seen as it may rain heavy

Went up the woods with Davetheraveuk in the 2.8bus...
We cut several new connecting tracks of varying degrees of difficulty...and then extended the top bomb hole tracks (as turning was really tight if we keep off the farm track)...its now twice as long and has some interesting bits, and will be ripe for digger enhancement at a later date...

Then off too the workshop to put even more filler in the landrover...its getting there slowly, should be painted within a couple of weeks and out of the workshop...thank god!!!

redone front wrap round painted black and cleared codes had a immobilizer fault

Ive been doing the trooper for last 3 days doing rust on n/s/f wheel-arch painted all the bottom half & cut & polished top half & fitted wheel arch extensions as i fitted wider wheels & tyres

Looking tidy Smiffy, see you caught up to the runs :lol:

If my chevybravafing (isuzu tfs55) is anything to go by, I think troopers run coiler type track width, so fitting fronty leafer alloys will add much fatness in the wheel department...
My chevy ages ago when I stuck leafer sport wheels on it, which filled the arches nicely.....this was during the "I am NOT going to modify it much stage!" :lol:

Thats really interesting considering the Mk.1 Trooper is torsion bar/leafs. Has drastically changed my wheel plans.

Anyone got an old set of leafer alloys sitting around doing nothing they want to get rid of? Any condition for little money lol.

I think that is deffo right mate...I have some old trooper leafer steels and they are really poo offset compared with fronty leafer wheels :wink:
