Strata Weekend 2012

[stevd]

My cockyness was short lived about the defender.....I have a tired engine mount

Sorry Boxcleva, I have just added another job for your list before we go

[Dannyboy]

Just goin out to swop my wheels over so i can get a headache on the way down , took the air intake up into the engine bay as bin to busy to sort a snorkel, and not even thought about tent and stuff, dont you just love doin everything last min!

[colley]

I have finished work today so have 2 full days to pack and get sorted

[BoxCleva]

Steering all over the shop
Cv Gaitor that takes great pleasure in flying off every 5 mins (on the plus side the underside of the truck will never rust with all the friggin grease sprayed over it )
Rear diff graunching like a goodun'

Not impressed!

Hopefully things will go a bit better tomorrow.

[colley]

Sounds like your going to be busy. If i lived a bit closer i would pop over and give you a hand si

[BoxCleva]

The only hand I need is someone to hold the jerry can of fuel while I light the bloody match mate

Appreciate the offer though

[colley]

You sound like me when my clutch went the other week

[Dannyboy]

Thats the recips on stars fitted! they look so good stuck out of the arches !!, Modified the light bar off my old V6 as the roof bars on the A sport are far wider apart, just need to paint it now (it is just a quick fix but it will do its job)!? So best get them wired up asap. Has anyonelse run the air intake up the engine bay? and how well does it work?? dont wana kill it!

[colley]

It works really well mate I have had a look at the whether forecast for Rhayader for this week and its wet all week Some of the river crossings could be interesting

[Dannyboy]

BRING IT ON! HE WHO DARES RODDERS, HE WHO DARES!!

[igotababyfrontera]

Well I just swapped to the muds and checked my tent sleeping bags, all good there even got the pegs!

As for the snorkel.... Oopsy, I still got a standard air intake as I haven't had time to play with it

Rain and mud I can cope with still not excited about that whole water thing though


Oh and Tom as for I got new tyres on so I go first haha yeah right you got a snorkel and bigger tyres than me

[Dannyboy]

Scott, do what ive done with my intake, atleast it will stop it sucking water up from under the arch. Ive just run it from the air box with a piece of flexi hose, only a few quid from B&Q or similar, and it only took me 20min! It might just save your truck!! Rather a tenner than a new engine bud!!

[igotababyfrontera]

Hmmm might be a good temporary fix now to see if I get time?

[BoxCleva]

Scott, if you have a piece of flexi hose it can be done at strata (no tools required) . I'll happily do it for ya bud.

[Dannyboy]

It wont be a campsite after half hour of us getting there, itll look like a halfords car park!!

[BoxCleva]

LOL...

[colley]

What time is everyone getting there on friday

[Dannyboy]

Im hoping to be there between 4-5pm bud, guna set off a close to lunch as poss just so i got the morning to sort owt out ive missed! its a good 3.5hrs for me tho ! What about you?

[colley]
