Well done Rob though I think the original guard on the blue was possibly slightly worse:

and the replacement ready to go back in:

Forgot to say ... I left the keys to my truck to Mrs Ratcav to take to work as I borrowed hers to get the A/C sorted at my work.

Apparently the security guards at her place are itching to see the truck, especially one guy with a Pajero who wants to get into the modding, and off roading scene. Might get him to a Thetford meet and if he works out ok bring him along to a woods meet.

Personally I reckon they just want to see the novel sight of a young blonde female driving a huge modded 4x4 (possibly the biggest truck on FOG :twisted: )

Did 750 miles in it in 11 days on holiday. Just got back . Other than a fubarred starter motor it towed 5 people plus all their crap and a five berth caravan up some major inclines. Never had to drop from fifth. Gotta love diesel torque 8)

His favourite motor :D

As for me, Mrs RatCav got tons of funny looks and comments (all good) from her work collegues about the truck when she turned up for work. She had to improvise a parking space on a grass embankment as there wasn't a normal one big enough :twisted:

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by 2much on Tue Aug 21, 2012 8:59 pm
not had time until today but at weekend....

approximately 5 hours to replace the front shocks :shock: :shock: 1 hour for offside and 4 hours for nearside - grinder, many hammers, oxy-acetalene, drill, air saw and impact driver - now sitting on +2 rough country shox (ex- frog), raised 6 turns, chopped bump stops, repacked wheel bearings, AVM hubs, plasma rope and fairlead from winchmax PLUS rear part of exhaust now fallen off after silencer - no more grounding out!!!

got new top and bottom ball joints + BJ spacers, but after the saga with shox, i think this truck has not EVER had any mechanical maintenance, I gave up!

now need dislocation cones welding in place and ready for weekender :)
