Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by furball on Sun Apr 15, 2012 11:41 am
Yesterday I got it to start with a boost from the transit then took it to see Gazeddy who replaced my clutch for me. It's driving better than ever now, well done that man :D

Oh yeah, and I also replaced the plastic thing on the end of the gearstick so I don't have to guess where the gears are anymore :roll:

Resealed the passenger footwell, painted the snorkel......yes I messed it up and most of the car has overspray.....what are you laughing at? did you expect perfection :lol: :lol:

Touched a few scabby buts up and resealed the tyre on the picasso as it had a slow leak :D

Had the chance to help er indoors with housework, But when she turned her back I was out changing the oil in the truck, so while I was at it I thought may as well fire in these Monroe adventure shocks I got. Ended up a very satisfying day all in all :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The 2.8 trooper
Checked front pads and they are worn to nothing explain the lack of stopping power and i bet there is umteen diffrent ones>
Checked rear suspension to source the clunk. The previose owner replaced one rear shocker only :shock: and its not even right type its held on at the bottom with two nuts cause the its to small thinking just swapwith the swb as it has too new ones fitted .

The 2.6 trooper i walked over looked at where i was gonna weld next and lost all motivation
