Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Done the front seat mod that someone posted on here some time ago. Removed seat and wound a 1" ratchet strap across the bottom of the seat packed it with a couple of pieces of cardboard and it took all the sag out giving a much firmer and higher seating position.
Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Prepped my sills for welding tomorrow (hopefully).

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Gave it a good service, and beat the rear diff cover plate back into shape with a big hammer after noticing the rather large pool of diff oil on the garage floor
Really need to get me one of those diff protectors
Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!The truck? not a lot. But this wee beasty here
![]() Got peeved off with digging the veg patch over and managed to get this off free cycle. Didnt work when I picked it up (previous owner muttered something about it needing a whole new set of points and ignition coil etc). Got it home, expanded a can of degreaser on it and gave it a proper going over with the jet wash. Stripped the hand starter off, adjusted the points, cleaned the plug, topped the oil up and then got the 1/2" chucked makito drill out with a cut down 1/2" socket extension well clamped in the chuck. Put the right sized socket on that fitted the starter clutch and turned it over with that for about 10 mins to just clear the cobwebs out. It then fired. Put it all back together and gave it a go with the cord starter, fires first pull now Result me thinks This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you....

Robertmillsav,I hope that you get your back sorted out soon bud. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is what I got done on The STIG! today.................................but I ran out of Mig welding wire before I could finish the underneath of the plate. ![]() The welding may look untidy but once its ground down flush and painted,it will not be seen but if you wack it with a hammer,the plate wont come OFF though.
