Ooo, chains:



Lawrence

Bloody hell truggs....talk about flaps...they are like John Waynes Saddle bags...
Have you got a set of low profile tyres that you fit and then go roadsweeping???

Ahhhh....I get it....
....when you chain em up offroading, they cover the taillights to protect em, and stick out further than the mirrors so save them too...

[jason]

Thats a bit like my front flaps i just need to get some chain

[Krusher]

Sorted out my interior boot light that stays on all the time, Adjusted the switch contacts and now comes on when the tailgate
is opened.
Also gave the old truck a vacuum out, was still plastered in mud and dirt from the last picnic.....

changed inter cooler pipes for nice blue ones flushed inter cooler and steel top pipe the colour was shocking, changed air filter and swapped oil for 20/50, still not no rocket but did notice the difference once the turbo kicked in, nice cloud of black behind left in my wake ( smokey joe living upto its name ) well impressed with my self, soon a trip to milners for all round new springs and dampers. then to steel supliers for box section for sills and front bumper. 2mnths to the date till the mot

I was bored to do so i made a light bar it still needs finished and some modding. It was just for something to do and to see if i could build one. it is very crude but once its finished it should look ok. Im going to make light pods on tuesday aswell for everday use and maybe keep the bar for offroad

3x 11Gallon barrels Of Strongbow, Guiness and Tetley Mild 2x 18's of Tetley Smooth , Carlsberg 1x 22 barrel Stella Artois and various boxes of lager, softys and spirits and it only took 1TRIP all in all roughly 1/4 to 1/2 ton in weight distributed between the middle to over rear axle

[Wilberforce]

You've done well there mate...
Having done plenty of dray work since I qualified as HGV driver, I can tell you that 11's come in at about 52Kg each, the 18's will be in the region of 90Kg, and the 22 of wifebeater is about 120Kg. You have indeed managed to get over half a ton of beer in Fronty. Respect due, methinks. Bet it was easier getting it out, than it was getting it in, no?

I took one of my staff with me so it was pretty easy both ways but it was nicer to drive unloaded lol the turbo was in overdrive all the way back

[Drift]

Took my rear diff cover off and re-sealed it, just waiting till tomorrow when the sealant sets to fill it up

[drinksoptional]

I wiped a bit with my finger now have a dirty finger and a clean finger shaped bit

[Drift]

Today I filled up the rear diff, then while I was there I went on a mission.

I had two stretch CV boots to fit, I spent longer trying to get the bloody things over the cone.....impossible
So I did it the old fashioned way after a couple of phone calls to find a silly wire clip on the CV that was buried in grease
Well everything went that well I think Ill do the other side next week
I hate all that flippin grease though

I then went on to finaly re-fit my coil retainers and then coated any bits of under body rust and all the pipes in and oily protective gunk. Sprayed the rear coils in it as well as they looked a bit rusty where the blue paint was flaking

Was worth it in the end then.
