WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Prepared GodZilla for vacation.
Spotted the rear thingy of the exhaust is rotting away and the plug on engine for oilpressure needs sorting as it is not working most of the time. Changed fuel- and airfilter, looked for fluids and lighting, filled the tank. Cleaned her yesterday - still dust in it from 2012... Gettin' more and more exited. Kind regards,

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!At times Truck has had a bit of a squeak seemingly coming from the front end when meeting those speed bump things at anything over 20mph for the last couple of years. Having changed the bottom ball joints a couple of times over the last couple of years I had put it down to the top ball joints although they have been passing the MOT okay.
Finally, got round to swapping them over (had to tip the shed to find the new ones I got from Milners 2 years ago mind), did the O/S one, then it rained. Put the other one back in the shed, job to do next year.... This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you....

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Lookin good fella...
Its worth welding a diagonal in somewhere andy if you can, otherwise if you hit them on a stump they can go back fouling the tyre, and then wont bend back forwards without a struggle. Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
