Brought a plastic ice scraper for the snow thats on it's way and cut a couple of vinyl stickers but it's too cold to fit them :P
I would prefer a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by gregster on Fri Dec 16, 2011 12:30 am
This evening I started the job I have been putting off for a year! :lol:

So the 2.8lwb is sitting in the workshop with no front seats, no dash board and the heater box sitting on the floor with a new heater matrix in it waiting to be refitted.

Just a case of putting it back together again now, but I am gonna fit proper stereo system at the same time, relocate the CB so the glove box opens again, and do a couple of cunning wiring mods that I have been meaning to do for ages, namely an override switch for the reversing lights so they can be turned on to light up behind when hitching up trailers and stuff, and also an interior light switch tapped into the door switch circuit so the interior lights can be turned on without having to open a door.

Also modding another towbar for it, so its adjustable height, and a lot lower so I can drag trailers without tragging their arses!but removable of course and massively over engineering so I dont bend it this time if I decide to get all 4 wheels off the ground snatching snow bound artics! :lol:

Gonna weld the front diff too while its in there...and lob some aisens on it and swap the chrome 10js over and throw some 33 12.50 bfg muds on fronty star alloys on it for the salty season.

then bring it home again on Sunday.;..
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

Greg, can't you switch your interior lights on by pulling the sidelight/headlight switch out from the dashboard or has the original switch been removed?

That was only on the facelift A series and B series Dav. The early A series was done on the light itself.

Well done Fudge, but 5 KL71's and a BFG is 6 tyres. You got a 6 wheeler Landy or something now ;)
