WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[Road Hog]

Is that (right then left )............. Slim Jim & The Southern Softie ..... The well known double act



I`m in sooooooooo much trouble

[weave67]

did all go well with the lift any problems locating the pucks,were the bolts the right size

[Alchamist]

mostly, yes and not quite - in that order

All the old bolts came out without too much bother - none of them snapped, but the fronts had to be cut out as they had seized into the old mountings. There was quite a bit of "leverage" needed to get the pucks to locate correctly, but we got them all there eventually.

The only concern really is that the bolts are a little soft, but they should be ok. We ended up grinding the ends to be a bit pointed so they located easier, and some brute force was needed on the rears, otherwise all was ok. Started at 10ish, finished about 3 - not too bad at all.

[weave67]

Oh today after a lil fettle up north with the dreaded duo... I made the silly mistake of getting under mine with a Karcher Damn I got wet. very wet. Thought I'd done a cracking job till it dried and I cant see where all the mud came from as theres plenty left up there

Oh and greased my nipples and fitted steering stabiliser.

Well, not long back from the jet wash - can't start a laning trip with a dirty car.

Prior to that, I gum gummed the one of the exhaust flanges - sounds a bit better now.
