WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

I stopped at in the middle of the A19 on my way home, where an accident had just happened. Used Chugga as a barrier with my beacon on until the police arrived, and I offered my assistance for recovery, but wasn't needed as vehicles were on their way.

Did they thank you James?

The police did as soon as they arrived and...SURPRISINGLY...so did the ones in the accident. :shock:

well done mate

My mate ARC welded my tank guard bash plate for me then we sprayed it with some hammerite just need to paint it an fit thats it ready to take another beating till next year.
Just the sills an exhaust to get welded.

I aslo tried those steel pajero wheels i bought a while back for size. Damm Close to the brake caliper but not touching the pads were low so dont know if that would make a diffrence or am i been daft

Filled mine up with fuel today,hope i wont have to that again in a hurry 72litres=£100 :shock:

Modded my front wheel arches so I could drop the torsion bars by an inch. The ride is so much better

I wound them far too much to get the tyres in :lol:

Fitted the cb as well but have no idea how it works

today i got some oil for my front diff, and i finished my snorkle kit off, so all i have to do now is mount it

and i have a pic of the kit (sorry it isnt very good)

but it has a 3.5" air filter on the top, and 2" alu piping for the rest.
so tomorrow i am going to try and mount i, and change my diff oil

Had a splurge today ready for the AM

Extended the rear ARB links by 3", painted and refitted

Fitted new wheels and tyres, they look awesome but think I might have some clearance issues though, gonna try it out tomorrow but I think Mr Grinder is gonna have to come out and play :lol:

Removed steering column, extended lower rod and refitted

Fitted Exhaust Gas Temp gauge and gave the fuel pump a tweak

Turned up an extension piece on the lathe for the panhard rod, gonna chop the panhard rod tomorrow and weld in the extension piece to get the rear wheels back in line

Have started putting the dashboard back in - switches tested and all ok so far - one to double check though so might involve some more wiring :evil:

then can concentrate on soldering connections and protecting with "heatshrink". After that, the mechanical works can start - oils/greases and take a look at the brakes, then the waxoyling.

Gear box out, crank case seal replaced, new clutch, gear box back on. Oils ,filters changed, diffs topped up, nipples greased, all underneath tin work painted and replaced. Runs like a dream. Didn't get chance to change clutch master cylinder. May do today. Looking forward to saturday

£65 a week for me ... hurts everytime :evil:

As for me I washed and polished the old girl

Before:

After:

it wont stay that way for long

today i fitted my snorkel

Good skills Fudge ... Like it

put a fridge in the back of mine between the center consol and the seat to keep the refreshments cool on a run, fitted an inverted to keep the laptop going, and text scroller so i can abuse the muppet behind who doesnt realise tail gating a fronty is asking for trouble when i cant see them in the mirrors. so a little reminded that my tow bar is stronger than there radaitor and if they dont back up ill prove it! i found worked a treat on the run over to lincoln and back tonight. when a tot in a bmw one series thought hiding under my back wheel and drafting me at 70mph down the dual carraige way. he got the point an back up about 2 mintues before a even polish tot in an artic forget to check his mirrors and pulled out of the layby. god i love abs and fat wheels. just got to pick my passengers teeth out of the dash he he he

some times its the little things in life that make you smile

today i crashed mine into a wall in a carpark :oh yer:

, and the fronty won :dance:

all i did was got paint skuff on my bull bars, the wall has a nice dent in it

lifted some more she is high now +6
