WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

A friend very kindly "bernified" my engine and removed egr's,cold start system and flappy paddle thing in the exhaust to go with the birds nest he riiped out the other week and it does feel lot swifter on take off now so just the de-cat to do and its done

SO again a very big THANK YOU to A friend and big red fronty who have both helped me a lot recently and other members in the past and probably don't get the thanks and recognition they deserve

Bernie,
Seeing as I never did make the Black Country meet after Bala, that could be the excuse, hehe...

Yea,see when you can get a "first Tuesday of the month" Jim,we will need about 6 hours to do all the bits Then BC meet in the evening :drink:

Fitted a new fuel filter an the bolt sheared on the clamp too much rush rush shoulda dw 40 the bolt fixed it with ahose clip for the now till drill the old on out.
bought some oil an a oil filter an fitted them in the boot for now.

Been telling a few people to try forte seal conditioner, so decided I would treat mine to some, its not leaking oil or blowing smoke but prevention is better than cure :wink:

Oh Camskill is about the cheapest and 20 hour delivery :shock:

Dave,

it got the thumbs up from me about four years ago when I had a leaking front crank seal, thought what the heck for a tenner (then) Ill give it a go, took a hundred miles or so to work but never even had so much as a drip out of it since, bone dry when the cam belt was changed, so I pop a bit in every couple of years now.

I sinned today....

no worse than that....

I committed an unforgivable attrocity of epic proportions!

I removed the BFG 33-12.50-15's of our 2.8 lwb, replaced them with a set of 31-10.50-15 Camac Terra A/t's....

and then wound them torsion bar bolts ANTICLOCKWISE and lowered the front down a bit :oops:

I feel such shame and our truck looks so little now...

I only put the 33's on for the digger weekend months ago, so it had a big set of muds on it so I didnt have to mess with extracting it and so I could get it whereever the digger was to kip...and wound the hell out of the torsion bars to get em not to rub...It needs a body lift really so they dont get chewed up through rubbing, and seeing as its dry at the mo up the woods and its doing a fair few road miles, it makes sense to run it on A/t's for the time being saving the muddies.

Plus(ish) point is the roof will be a lot easier to clean now!! :lol:

and the mutt will find it easier to get in and out!

Well at the weekend added a 35% window tint to the rear door windows and rear window.

Today got my 245/75 16 BFG A/T's fitted. Bit of a Fleabay bargain and my mate fitted them for me. Only up a bit on size but really pleased. Had to take the mud flaps off tonight though as I heard a bit of rubbing.

Well happy with the beastie!!

:dance:

Cheers
