WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Cleaned out the radiator..knew there was some mud in it, but a whole field worth !! :shock:

put the battery on charge..can't help using the radio while I work on it, so it must be a little drained by now.

Pulled the dent out of the drivers side rear door

Before

After

then set to work replacing the ordinary bulbs in the dash for blue LED ones with some success
tried to alter the plastic optics so that the temp guage needle lit up like the rest but to no avail also i'll be changing the centre heating console LED for LED strip as it is not lighting up the whole strip.

Dash in bits

My failed attempt at altering the flow of light

Before the LED Conversion

After with the new bulbs

fitted a new abs sensor to the n/s/f ... what a mission :twisted:

if it could be seized , it was seized ...

but on a plus point , the ABS light went out after a short drive :mrgreen:

then i drove into wales and picked up some 18" wheels which i'll fit tomorrow ... :dance:

Well i did a bit of work on Horses45's truck and then the job on mine that ive been meaning to do for month's! Sealing the rear diff to stop it weeping. What a nice clean diff plate i was pleasantly surprised. All fixed now! Oh and Rob and Audra helped me move my caravan so i can get it ready for Avalanche. What a state its in covered in bloody green kak and tree sticky!!! Thats gonna be fun!
Ive now tired myself out so off to bed.

Used the truck for towing the trailer - across the 700 foot, single track, hairpin bend infested road and the back again.
Although running smooth, thought the car was a bit gutless at times. Later, motor was wahed but a MUST DO next week will be a service - here's hoping for dry still weather.

finished off wheel 2 on my refurbishing project lol

installed new locking valve covers on my wheels as some little runt keeps letting them down

drove her down the dunes at barassi ayrshire scotland for first outing on my jetski last saturday weather was gloriuose

how long does it take to do the dashboard lamp change and is it costly

Took Chugga for her MOT..and she failed. :cry:

fitted the 18's :dance:

absolutely chuffed to bits with them ... only had to remove the mudflaps , and no scrubbing whatsoever

Now that looks proper cool mate...

OOOOO, Glynn me likes a lot !!!

Those look super cool buddy

Hmmm, 18" bling wheels and a snorkel. Mixed messages there bud, although have to admit it looks the dogs danglies :wink:

Box ... when a snorkel presents itself for 70 odd quid , it has to be done :wink:

even if she never goes swimming , she looks good ...haha

in fairness though , it acts as a brilliant cold air feed for the pipercross :mrgreen:

Managed to fit new anti-rattle shims to the nearside front brakes.
Couldn't fit them to the offside as I can't undo the wheel nuts on that side (they're all a bit chewed up) :oops:

Also, changed the oil but, couldn't do the filter this time round. Couldn't get the bash plate off to get to the oil filter.
Is it possible to remove it by unbolting the crossmembers?

In the meantime, it has cleaner oil in it. Sort of like an oil flush! :lol:

today i got some new bits
now have black smoked lights and light gards :dance:

Looking good Fudge .... some good finds in that scrappy .... might go back up there for a small collection of spares.

Did a few more bits and bobs on Chugga, and decided to put Beasty up for sale... viewtopic.php?f=51&t=42649

I flushed my heater matrix. now my cabin is toasty warm
