WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Cleaned out two carrier bags of rubbish from it, properly inflated two of the tyres and organised the boot

Poundland have "Picnic" blankets that are just like a thin tarpaulin style material so good for a boot lining

Eh-up Norse...where have you been hiding :lol:

and hairy!!!! :shock:

Is that your hand in the picture, pointing her out to the clamping guy??

At long last gave the engine its very very long overdue oil and filter change. Bash plate removed without problem, sump nut undone, no problem - then the fun began - oil collector tank had a blocked vent hole so the oil was draining out the sump quicker than the collector could handle which ended up with a massive air-block which suddenly relieved itself spilling about a cup full of old sump over the driveway. With the assistance of cat litter granules and swarfega oil dispersant normality was restored.

Sunday is getting nearer - jobs are being ticked off one-by-one. Only seven minor matters to attend to.

Fitted my sparkrite car alarm. :lol:

Changed the air filter element. Put the rear interior panel corners back in, soldered the numerous wires for the stereo which hopefully will cure tthe radio beibng on silently and drauining the battery. Last but not least, the "Frontera Owners" sticker has been mounted on a plate and is displayed on the front of the car.

Finished the wiring and switch for the light pods and drilled and fitted some running lights
