Sat at the office looking at photos of other people having fun in the mud.

And whilst I was doing this the tyre shop was replacing the rubbish rubber with some 31x10.5 Maxxis Bighorns :dance:

my truck is at a stand still waiting on power steering pipes to arrive. i have every thing else waiting to go on but cant do it as my back is playing up and i cant get down far enough to do any thing and when i do get down i cant get back up so the truck will have to wait until my back gets better.
its very frustrating looking at it sitting out in the drive :evil: :evil:

drove to work, lost power about 2miles away frm the house, pulled over, hazzards on, cursing it, started it, off we went, parked up, (secretly hoping someone would steal it and insurance would pay up) came back to the carpark, noone stole it, gutted, drove home, parked up.
Took dog for walk, then the dog likes to sit in it.
Thats all.

Truck exhaust started blowing like a good un this afternoon. Badly cracked down pipe just in front of where it joins the Cat. Gummed up till I can change it over the weekend. :cry: :cry:

Removed the intercooler and emptied all the oil out of it :shock: then give all the intake pipes a damn good clean with brake cleaner.

Fitted new water pump

Took Angelina to the Coso's in Letchworth. 6 of them round the truck like flies, hand washed all over, undercarriage thouroughly cleaned, engine steam-cleaned. All for £20 :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
