WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Took her for a test drive on Ainsdale beach and found that the ride has got a lot stiffer and she doesn't roll in the corners anymore and while i was there i ran into the Vauxhall Vectra owners club had a quick chat and one of them asked why i wasn't out having fun in the beast i told them i was saving it for next week for OUR national meet at BALA :dance:

must admit they had quite a few nice examples there ranging from standard to modified with kits and stuff all family stuff like us.

i aint gettin involved , ste sort this out . :twisted:

Coward...

Well after checking all the turbo pipe's i finally got rid of the screaching cat that was hiding downing there somewhere, fitted the permenant live to the 12S trailer plug, removed the mudflaps and the Chrome steps. fitted the CB

They will go back on, at some point, SWMNBO doesn't like it, +2" and little legs :twisted:

Got my 2m VHF antenna attached, temporary mount for my CB as the rubber seal has disappeared of my other one.

decide to paint the

no the trailer

my SWMNBO is 5ft nothing and i just tell her to take a run up

Added some foam insulation around the transmission tunnelto try and quieten it down a bit in the cab... Seems to work quite well.

Added a second set of 2 x cigarette sockets to the right of the steering wheel for the GPS and speed camera detector.

Fettled and fiddled with the rear load cover I got just before christmas to make it fit and now I have a roller cover to keep things hidden from prying eyes ;-)

On Saturday i popped round to erkos bro and he changed my gearbox and transfer box oils. We also changed my diff oils front and back. Postfinder also stopped by to say hello and i had a look at his new v6 and its a beast..................

On Sunday i finally got round to fitting my snorkel that i got off weave.
just need to cut some chequer plate to cover the hole in the wing.
here are a few pitchers.

Also fitted this viper induction kit

nice job Steve

Opened passengers door this morning to find a pond in the footwell and a dripping passengers seat, hadn't seated the sunroof correctly so had let in most of last nights downpour :oops:

Hope I can dry it before Bala or Jude might get me some concrete boots for lake Bala :axe:

Tightened handbrake a little, patched up little exhaust blow and ordered another 31" mudder as not happy travelling to Wales with wrong size spare. 2 new recovery strops and a tree strop turned up in the post, think I've gone over my pocket money allowance this week and its only monday :oops:

gave mine an oil and filter change also tightened up the front wheel bearings greased the prop and also washed it

then i got the trailer tent out to make sure all the lights still work (they do) :dance:

if i get chance tomorrow i might clean it out

fitted my new front bumper and under trays. all with new stainless steel bolts and washers and nuts .
also fitted my number plates front and rear the rear one is fitted in a stainless steel holder to give it some protection when off roading
