WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[Frontycustoms]

Ya put Phils old springs on then Bernie

[Road Hog]

Oh yes indeed they HAD to be done before the roadtrip ,"the originals are getting a bit soft now & these came in at the right price luv" ,

[Drift]

About bleedin time

[Sir-Doris]

Hee hee.... Nice bernie. So for future reference Milners heavy duty springs will lift a B series

[Road Hog]

Yep but the nearside one needs a LOT of compressing as the fuel tank stops the axle from dropping fully,offside 20 min`s all in

Today I fitted my Amber recovery Strobes (4 of them) ran all the wires inside the car and hid them. Also replaced the blowen head light. Tomorow I will sort out my new switches for them and wire up my front roof lights.

where did you fit them, as i have set coming, and would like some ideas

you can just see the strobes on the roof cage, I have them in the same position on the front, and they are controlled by this little beauty:


The switches work the spot lights,Rear work light and the strobes and the little black box runs the strobes on the different modes. Hope this helps?

did nothing to my car but did change belts and oil on a vw sharron in return for a tent

started and drove my fronty for the first time in almost 3 months . although it was a short spin (on private land ) as it has no tax or mot. (till next week)

(hopefully) fixed the power steering fluid leak, new front number plate as i keep smashing it off road (to be mounted somewhere else), new side indicator bulb.

Fronty needed a jump start as battery was flat, but then started instantly and sounded great. it was such a joy to be driving it again, like a new car. ive missed it. gonna phone the garage tomorrow and get the MOT booked for next week, then tax starting 1st March. I CANT WAIT.

What is it with water pumps today, just had mine replaced today... again last one lasted about 5,000 miles

[Drift]

Best lift the front wheels off the ground, wind the bars, drop the car, drive or rock it to get the suspension to settle then check the height and alter accordingly

[Mudskipper]

thats what i thought, what i would like to know is whats the measurement from the wheel rim to the arch on an A series on 16'' rims as std as i don't know if its std to start with, don't want to over do it

[Trugga]

When the upper arms rest on the droop stops, that's when you've over done it.
