WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[jmc]

Thanks drift,for the advice on the addative and I didnt know about the older car emmisions thing. It is getting a long run this weekend so early next week would be a good time to put it in.

Fitted new front shocks to the 2.4, the old ones were slightly worn, I pushed them in and they haven't pushed back out yet

[Drift]

Just wait a bit longer Jim and they will pop up, your just too impatient

[woodwizzard]

ERM, it was miday yesterday I pushed them in and they still haven't moved, I think its safe to throw 'em out

[Drift]

What a waste

Up date on Preditor. Managed to get the towbar off and the damage is 2 sheard bolts and a bent back plate. It was written off because they could'nt be botherd with an old motor. Good fortune for me!!!!

New plate has been suplied by my old mate Fuddy and got 2 new bolt from a local fastener shop, just got to weld the captive nuts back into the Chassis.
Then he's back on the road.
Due to the bl--dy weather not bin able to weld them in yet.

Watch this space!!!!

Captive nuts welded in and all back together total cost of repair £1.00 for the bolts.

Bargain.
Owe you a drink fuddy !!!!!!

Didn't do anything to the truck today, however on the way home from work there was severe flooding and whilst all the little cars turned back i ploughed on through!!!!

Such a great feeling, makes me want to go fording now.

I've been loaded with the flu since I got my coil spacers but today the rain had stopped and I felt ok so thought I'd get them fitted.

Followed the guides here and got the body lifted on axle stand, bottom shock bolts out, dropped out the near-side spring out and before I put it back with the spacer, I looked over at the off-side spring and something looked weird. Had a closer look and the top 3 or 4 turns of the spring has snapped off.

Large amount of sweary words later I bolted everything back together so I could get car in the garage, shut the door and went for a beer

Nobody near me has any springs in stock so looks like tomorrow I'll be hunting for some.

[Drift]

Thats a rare one
Call Milners they will get a set out to you on Monday.

Today I hard wired a waterproof motorcycle twin accessory in on the passenger side for an inverter and I disconnected the rear window electrics as Im the only one normally in the car and Im fed up accidently opening the rear window

[jason]

Put new tow bar on today.
But one off the bolts would not go back it to the chassis ,it has all ready got two bolts in that side one in the chassis and one big bolt into a steal plate.
I wonder if it will be OK with out it.

[rancidrich]
