After driving back from D.T.,about 20mls,I could feel the weight of the amount of metal we used to build it.All the weight is over the axle and it feels really planted.I let you know how it handles off-road tomorrow night....

Changed the oil n filter today,it gave me a chance to scrape out the accumulated mud from around the bottom of the engine while I had the bash plates off.Also changed the fuel filter and ran a bit of Redex through the injectors.If I get the chance I'll change the brake compensator valve tomorrow and see if I get my brakes back...

Last year I changed my brakes for new calipers at the front and tuned the rears up. Along with new fluid and braded hoses she really anchors up now! I shocked myself when I first stood on the brakes at speed. What's yours doing?
