not been carrying anything heavy mate, I noticed 2 leafs broken months ago and just ignored it took the spring off today and found it broken in 4 places

thats the rear springs changed truck sits much better now higher and level i dropped the springs down a hole on the shackles

I also removed the ARB to see how it handles

it handles ok without the ARB to be fair much more roll i can see it being much better in the articulation department off road.

need to sort the camber out it is way out on the drivers side

poxy stereo stopped working the other day so i tok it all out today and found the earth to not be man enough to run the stereo weird after all this time so I just ran a new one,

I will look into why the original is not performing as it should though

well went to adjust the squeeking belts today but didnt adjust them as i found out why they were really squeeling

muppet i am didnt put the oil filler cap back on when I topped the oil up at the weekend, result oil fooking everywhere.

the cap is lost couldnt find it down my street.

I did find out where the coolant is dissapearing to though so every cloud and all that

yep I think so! dont tell the mrs i stole her filler cap

Ha that beats my not putting the dip stick back fully and having an engine bay full of oil

oh its a fukcing mess under there, but i found the water leak and fixed that as a result of looking for the filler cap down the back of the block so I am happy again

Mmmmm ok then

i did take some pics actually

the coolant was coming from the hose that goes to the heater matrix the body lift had put the hose to its limit

Nooooooo the pics of the oil all over the place LOL

lol ok later

oh and the truck handles ok without the arb I prefer it to be honest

So no dangerous roll then

nope and I have tried trust me,

it feels more like a truck softer on the front more lean into the corners

Something like this it feels like

yeh man lol

don't think I have had the wheel of the floor yet though

after 2 days of working on the VW it was time to fit the remote central locking kit which came yesterday, took about a hour with tea and works a treat might fit a buzzer so i can hear it lock, indicators all flash nice blue flashing led when it is locked not bad for £8 2 remote controls also has a boot release function a bell function and window rise function not sure if this will work on our trucks though

cut the rad hoses up today and fitted the temp senders for the gauge in the binical working a treat now took a good few hours to fit and run wires ect

had the trucks nose up for at leat ten mins with a leaf spring on the gas to keep the revs up it took the ten minutes to get up to 83 deg C when the thermostat finally opened

just got a broken sensor for the fuel pump of a friend fixed it took mine out and fitted the fixed one i think mine is beyond repair

mended sensor

installed the cb tonight and mounted the antenna, checked the swr and its fookinf sky high sitting here now after taking it back out and it dawned on me the light bracket i mounted the antenna on is fooking ali so it aint got a decent ground plain so ill be grounding it tomorrow that should sort the swr out. watch this space

the girls at work fitted a new toy to my truck today
