Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Well, didn't actually make anything or fit anythng useful, though, what I actually did was get it stuck. A few of us were out night laning toninght, on a particular lane the track splits, one way its flat-ish field the other way it's long grass and undulating terrain. So for a change I led everyone along the undulating terrain (never driven this bit before) when all of a sudden the undulation went extreme and I disappeared down a hole (deep enough I had to climb out the window). There I was sat on the rear diff and front cross member and only the near side wheels contacting the ground. All this and leaning over at a bit odd an angle.
The shame of it was having to be winched out by a Range Rover, a consulation prize was that only 2 LR 90's with ARB lockers and 35 inch simex pattern tyres went through. The Disco's and LR110 bottled out. I think with an extra inch of lift, 33inch tyres and no anti roll bars and the Fronty would have made it. First time I ever got stuck in it, had to rescue a few green ovals in it when the going gets slippery on occasion. Gave the Landy Lemmings something to chirp about when we got to the pub. Regards Stuart Remember, keep the greasy side down!
Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Bleed the clutch, as it started playing up on the way home sunday.
