just found out why the shocks are leaking oil
so the coil over conversion has been ordered and I will have it Monday or Tuesday next week

So why are they leaking,,,,,, who are you getting the coil overs from jimney bits.

they are leaking because I am a twat! I replaced the bolts in the top wish bones for longer ones and used a lock nut the lock nut stuck out to far and when on full compression the nut hits the shock over time it has worn through the shock thus the oil is pissing out now. what a dick I am! school boy error but it has forced me to upgrade now so watch this space.
No not jimney bits, lol these are custom made in Wilshire to whatever spec you desire

Just took delivery of my LHD steering box so the idler is going to be replaced with that much stronger

Nice idea

ta ill let u all know hot it performs but the thing is heavy man 15kg or more!

still debating whever or not to plumb it into the main pump or just fill it with fluid. just fill I think

I was just wondering abou that - can't see it's going to make any difference really

no need to plumb it in really as it will not benifit from the power as the shaft input is redundant. was thinking to fill with grease but think that grease is too thick so ill just fill with ATF or PS fluid with a breather probably

I bought myself a spare injection pump the other day mate - make me an offer?

tbh though having that many problems occur intermittent at the same time in the pump, it's probably electric fault like you said - you out checking earths?

I have 2 spare pumps lol thanks though mate

A bicycle and foot pump, both good for spares

nah 2nd truck lol

Hi Chef, just read through your project. You’ve been very busy indeed . Now you’ve had them some time how do you find the LED Headlamp bulbs? Are they still going strong and light output still decent or has it deminishes at all? And finally where did you get your set from?

Thanks in advance

yo man still got lots to do if the weather changes! the LED lamps are great mate I had a great set in truck 1 brought another set for truck 2 didnt like them so found the same set in truck one and got another set for truck 2 and fuked the shite ones off. Ill find a link perhaps later hard to find no days. the light out put is great still

Thanks mate, if you find a link handy then great but don’t be trawling looking for it either. Save that time for truck mods

ha h ill look later

today i stripped down a brand new LHD steering box removed some of the input side so it is ready to use instead of a idler now
