WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

just a little

As for my truck - diddley squat apart from more go go juice :evil:

Stuart

Can do, I have classed it as Panhard Rod V1, it was more a proof of concept as to whether it would work, would it stand up to abuse and what issues would crop up, none so far but is early days :wink:

filled the air box with water

Weekend.... Oil in gearbox, transfer box and rear axle. Apart from that not a lot really. Oh yes, dug an out an old concrete pond I found in under the back lawn and dug in about 28 mtrs of 80mm duct so I can run the power and cat6 to the shed properly when the fence comes down next week (cables are currently clipped to the fence, not quite IAW BS7671 but hey, it works).

Fitted the new drivers seat n what a vast improvement! :thumbup:

then took it for a ride down to to Kels dads garage to get the 33s on my spare set of stars :dance:

then i need to paint them black and soon she will be painted to :v happy:

Just parked it up on the drive for god knows how many months as I have an operation on my hand tomorrow and won't be able to drive :evil:

Or a fat lot of nothing else either :cry:

Good point is I won't break anything on it and when I can drive again I'll have the shiniest truck on the road :lol:

fitted the front shocks. Only fitted standard ones but the bushes on drivers side had fell to peices passenger side had failed completley

Well today i clean my truck still done no work on it since may need start looking things to do i need to mod

sold my b & im in mourning

Mot'd Dave....... £528 later FFS!!! :evil:

bloody hell

Its now got 33"s on!!

finished sanding down the rear bumpers and splashed a coat of paint on them, no idea if its been worth the effort yet :problem:

Got an axle at long last !!

JUst hope the bloody thing is OK

Think the thrust bearing has died because I can't really get any gear without swinging on the gear stick and it makes a lot of squealing noises when I press the clutch...funny thing is the bite point feels like its still in the right place...sodding thing. At least I had almost 2 months of trouble free motoring lol

Finally got round to fitting rear 3 point seat belt in the bighorn

Had to cut holes in the trim for top bolt and the reel bolt, handy on the top bolt there is already a hole behind and this caused a wear mark on inside of trim this was a great marker.

today i have just been looking at pic's of mine. since it is about 2000 miles away :thumbdown:

but only just over a day left and i will be with her again :dance:

then note to self, dont go green laning with dan :roll:

removed the rear diff pan and cleaned and painted, resealed and new oil. was going to fit soft top but on this one there is nothing to bolt the brackets to for hood unlike the last truck.

tidied up the winch and now work

Went forward a couple hours and then went back a couple of months

Been making steady progress in getting the motor bolted back together - new steering box fitted and steering column all back to how it should be. Radiator and intercooler all back in.
Then looked at the broken off exhaust manifold stud - the one that I was in two minds as to whether to leave it and hope it doesn't blow. Then thought, nah - do the job proper so out comes the small brazing stick welder in the hope that I could weld a bolt on the end of the broken stud. Was not a success, flash and bang and no weld and thought bugger this, didn't want to end up welding more stuff together then intended.
So having had the turbo on and off and then back on again, thought bugger it, the turbo and manifold are coming back off so I can get at the broken stud.
Just three more bolts/nuts to undo and then wrestle to pull the turbo off and only took an hour this time around - amazing what the learning curve can do
