Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by Wilberforce on Fri Jul 02, 2010 7:23 pm
Well, I was a bit naughty today, hehe...

Took holly round the back of the yard when I finished work today, and blasted the worst of the bird poop and tree sap off the old gal, so she's nice and clean for the mud to stick to :mrgreen:
Side note, I seem to be leaking oil from somewhere. Nothing major though, only the odd drop here and there. Will have to get the engine steamcleaned again to find the leak.

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by Fatbaz on Sun Jul 04, 2010 9:59 am
Had a busy week, had a days laning last sunday, did 12 hours out and 125 miles in total> Started and finished at the big truck stop on the A5 just north of DIRFT, Lanes between Start point Atherston, Leicester Gilmorton and Yelvertoft. Then spent evenings all week cleaning and compounding scratches out, then Yesterday changed all the oils and filters. Ready to go again now. :D

Going to fit another power socket to the Comms binical today to power my wireless GPS tranciever, service the winch gearbox (get it fitted when I finally get round to building the bumper, last stages of planning, measuring and drawing.)

Post some pictures of a Custom roof rack for an A series SWB I had made and no longer need.
