Yer, I did passenger side last week, I was wondering why I was going through CV gaiters then spotted the grease had been flung about and the gaiters where well chewed, which is unusual as the drive shafts shouldnt have been turning as havent been in 4wd for a while, seems they have been locked at least 4 or 5 weeks and turning the drive shafts also the prop, this is whats caused the leak.....bloody cars :lol:

Finally managed to get Lara's new boots on...

With much assistance from Greg and his tyre machine (that man has so many toys) we got my AT's off the rims, the new Special Tracks on, and trimmed the bumper slightly.
Job's a goodun :D

Replaced the front wheel bearing which has been complaining since my last weekend of playing (about 6 weeks ago :oops: )

Might do a bit more tinkering today depends on my mood :)

no mate, think when you are seting them up, you just have to make sure the outer cog, is at least half way round on the mounting spring, and it says to take of and refit, make sure it is in free position, ok for taking it of, but i found it easyer to adjust it to the locked position, to refit them, then when you turn it back to free, it moves to the wright position on the spring,

Changed oil, went to cash and carry MAKRO in it and got some BBQ goodies and a camping bed then stopped at Andysd1's on the way home gave Furball a few tips on oil changing and fitting a drain plug, had a good laugh at Simo ( he is a good egg :lol: ) and met Sooty, nice to meet you mate sorry couldnt stay longer as promised :oops: .
And Andy, well is Andy, if you havent met him you will spot him a mile off at Bala, I cant wait for the convoy down, in his own unusual way he will be noticed :lol: :lol: :lol:
Those wheels look bloody fantastic Andy, if I had the dosh I would hustle them off you, tyres are impressive as well, yet another good buy 8)

I aint finished as think as Im half drunk they are turning up here for a few bits later :oh yer: :lol: :drink:

Thanks Ste, now youve done it though. Wax oil or under seal which is best ? I will be doing to mine end of the month, how much do you go through for a coating? because I was hoping to go half with a mate and do the 2 trucks.

I waxoil, usually every two years but had a mission yesterday and topped up, two litres should do it and a can of spray for the hard to reach places.
