Looked at mine again, wish it would stop raining!!

[drinksoptional]

i watched the rain run down the window and into the hole under the windscreen of the swb trooper i hope it has somewhere to go that leads out

[hipo1024]

Just got back (yes its just gone 5am) from a 'quick' laning trip with fudge and MrPete... only did 3 lanes in about 9hrs lol. Fudge has his road tyres on so he got stuck at every opportunity lol. Me with my half cut muds lead the way because the lanes were out my way and I have done then a good few times before...but all this rain has really changed them a lot.

Although fudge gets the most stuck award tonight I did also loose momentum a few times...its a real good feeling when your trying to move to unstuck fudge when u then get stuck. No problem tho...we just put the winch on and placed our bets on which truck was going to move lol

Sorry pete for giving u the camo effect top to bottom lol...but think...some people pay good money to get covered allover in wet mud...I did it for free hahaha.

And sorry to fudge for keeping u out so late...he wanted to go home at 10pm lol

I'll post the few pix i did get once I've cleaned enough mud off my fone screen to see it properly

[MrPete]

Indeed, thanks for that 'initiation' to greenlaning Dan. Think I've got all the mud out of my beard now
(It was good fun though, even with us all being so damn knackered!)

In other news, I've just promised my truck that I won't be doing anything offroad until both it and myself are prepared to get stuck AND can get us both out okay first
Now, where's that coffee...

[fudge]

[dave1966]

Finally got my gearbox & transferbox oil's changed today.

[Dannyboy]

Just fitted the replacement caliper and pads n then got caught in the down pour n drenched so il try n get it bled up tomorow

[Drift]

I ripped this off with my teeth and fitted a new one, steering idler



Not to bad, didnt remove the bash plate and made use of the ratchet spanners all in just over an hour and 25 minutes of that was beating the life out of the taper before the puller got it with shock and unlock

[snapper]

Finally got onto doing the Oil/filter change, 22:30 on the drive and in the rain (it's just not the same when it's not p******g down is it). Joys of 2.8 land lol...

Go-Kart now working without overheating (when beasted down the local by-pass).
Volvo passed MOT.
New bed and jockey wheel on trailer.

Twas a busy week-end....

[bushwacker]

hi ya i replaced cv gaiter on offside of me 2.4 what a cow to get the bottom ball joint of

[Alfie]

Failed mot on a cloudy headlight, an unajustable headlight, a damaged ball joint boot on the center steering bar and a damaged bush on my steering damper. All fairly easy fixes so quite pleased really.

[igotababyfrontera]

Fixed a knocking front brake and while I was at it changed colleys driver caliper found that he has cooked all his grease and that the power steering bearing is the most irritating noise ever

Oh and while we were there sorted a tow bar out for his pug - I'm impressed with it

[Dannyboy]

Do you 2 ever work! ?

[igotababyfrontera]

Nope well not if I can help it.

Today I fitted my power cap in the boot
Checked tyres and fluids-oops over filled the oil again

[Dannyboy]

Ready for some off road fun then pal!
