all you need now is a lightbar, and replace the flat leaves i noticed in your earlier pics, Nick !

Nick, do these just stick to the back of the surrounds and not actually require you to disassemble the fog lens ? and if so are they waterproof ?

I have stuck them onto the back of the surrounds, I have coated the terminals etc to waterproof them, you can buy waterproof rings from abroad.
I will see how they go in a few weeks, and report back. (if I have to re do them its only a £10).

Got my wheels back today, they are now Graphite Grey.
Look very nice, better pics this weekend when light allows.

Powder coat?

No mate base and laquer

They need a wash, will sort them weekend.
Not bad for £150 for all 5 (Mates rates)

I have a spare set of wheels sat here doing nothing, I've often thought about experimenting with a different colour

Hey that looks good.
Suits the black truck.
You done anything on the front calipers? (Paint wise)
Mine are just starting to look old...

#90 by Nick , Sat Dec 13, 2014 11:54 am

Not yet mate, the rear drums have been painted before Black smoothrite by previous owner.
Going sort that next summer, and the twin exit exhaust that's been in my shed for months

Well the truck has developed a squeaking noise over the last 2 weeks, seems worse when I pull off.
Finally got time to jack it up today and investigate.
Needs a rear UJ on the prop, going do both while its down.
Will ring Milners Monday morning.
Not bad considering ive had the truck 2.5 yrs and only greased the prop once.

#92 by Gezza , Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:23 pm

Is that it in 2.5 years?

#93 by Nick , Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:26 pm

Other than service items, and an EGR valve yes.
Best vehicle ive ever owned.

#94 by Gezza , Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:30 pm

That's good going for nearly 100,000

#95 by Nick , Sat Mar 14, 2015 10:40 pm

Yes its just coming up to 99,000 on a 56 plate
I got it 2.5yrs ago and it was on 89,000

#96 by Nick , Sat Mar 21, 2015 12:32 pm

Changed the rear prop UJ today, not too bad a job, front one was fine, rear was seized solid one way.
New regime for me, make sure props are greased every 3 / 4 months.

#97 by Basil , Sat Mar 21, 2015 1:00 pm

Good job, Nick. Not an obvious thing to do, but necessary methinks.

#98 by Nick , Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:17 pm

Especially in your line of work Geoff, or for anyone who off roading.
The needle bearings on mine were well rusted up, it would just about move with a pry bar.

#99 by Basil , Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:58 pm

Aye I'll get out after the rugby....

Fitted one of these today, very impressed.
No EML, quieter and smoother power delivery, seems more low down grunt.
Lets see how it goes.
