Bought this Badboy at the start of the month at a farm sale . 108 thousand miles rough around the edges and no mot but I didn't give a huge amount for it so have a small budget to do it up before it comes too unreasably priced.

Here's some pics (I hope).

First thing was first. Clean the inside it was rough.








The pics don't really show how bad it was and what a difference it is now but it sure is better. Unfortunately it really did smell bad too, I got a smoke bomb style cleaner which has really helped will keep an air freshener in there too.

Next up was removal of the egr. We've all seen this done so won't need any after pics.

how bad are the rear seats bud ? if they're bad I've got a set in my garage buried somewhere if you want them

This weekend I've stripped down the engine to do the timing belt as don't know when it was last done. Found the bottom pulley has delaminated so will change that, top hose my thumb went straight through whilst taking it off so that didnt have long left also the balance belt had snapped so won't put a new one of them on shame as the kit I bought includes one. Have an oil leak in there from what I think is only coming from the rocker cover gasket so ordered one of those.
I'm going to order an oil,air, fuel service kit while I'm at it.





Had a look round it for mot, replaced a tail light and front light that were smashed, all the front steering joints, front pads (2 siezed sliding pins), rear fog light. That's all I can see atm I will grease all my brake pipes to preserve them.

Really enjoy the simplicity of these trucks and easy access to do things.

Feels like I should be buying shares in milner atm but once it's done it's done ey.

sorry, donkey moment there
I'm guessing the rear seats will be none existent

265 70 16 is gonna be the maximum size tyre,Maxxis Mudders are a good tyre,if you want serious size tyres you're into the world of lifting.

I think you need wheel arch extensions to fit 265's if you want it road legal.

Will look way cooler without arch extenders though ;)
Maybe a lift would be just a natural progression though. Once the truck all back together and motd il use it for a month or 2 then hopefully finances will allow some more playing about.

Anyway come home to a box of goodies



So thought I would quickly change the pads. Calipers where seized as pistons where rusted rite up. An hour later they are freed up and pads are in. Got too dark and freezing ruddy cold so come in and got the fire going. Mmmm toasty.

Need to make another order with milners tonight for bits I forgot.

nice air freshner
