Well, the truck has had a fair bit done over the holiday... Shocks, shackles, diff seal + new oil, new discs + pads, hand brake adjustment, rear prop centre bearing + ujs and finally today got the front prop ujs done. Now I'm kaput!

Since I did thebrakes yesterday I'm getting a weird vibration when coming off the gas at about 60 and the front right brake squeaks when cornering to the left. Think the wheel bearings will need cleaned, greased and refitted to cure. Gonna try adjust steering box then should be ready for the mot!

reading that has made me need to go for a nap.....good effort fella.

You missed the bit about leaving a massive pool of transfer box oil all over the car park Rob, infact it wasnt even the car park coz sombody decided to park up on the pavement.

Wonder who that was eh ROB, what do you think ROB, should I tell them all who it was ROB

Dunno what ur talking about lol!

Wow Rob busy day!

Easter holiday tinkering started today......

Finally got round to fitting my CB properly. Cut a hole in the back of the cubby and wired through to the battery.



Also got fed up of looking at my scabby wiper arms so gave them a touch up:

Before


After


TInkering will continue over the course of the week. Lots to do!

Well done. And the bumper?

Still monged!

Plans are afoot will just depend on money etc lol

I've been meaning to do my wiper arms for years and not got round to them

Nice bit of Plastichrome paint Kurt........ or some hammerite original.. ( for the 'beaten' effect )...

I got some "direct to metal" paint a while back when Wickes were rebranding all their paint (hammerite copy paint) so I shall be doing this maybe today at some point ......... Damn you Rob for making me do this

Well more work today....

Fed up with all the rust colour under my car so.... Paint!

Painted both front skid plates yellow


From the front:


Also got fed up having the bucket seats in my bedroom so decided to do something about it...



Only had time to fit one but will do the drivers side tomorrow. Modded the existing runners to fit. The seat does sit a little higher than standard as mentioned by basil and shogun who have had buckets in their trucks but is not too bad.

Looks good, Rob

And, my, that's a manly looking strap on the o/s front wing, if I do say so...

It's for counteracting the updraught that the snork creates, always seem Rob's reg says YA ARSE at a quick look...

See it's not just me who's warped then.....pleeeeeese dont be telling her Mr Skotl....

Lol I should get some made up with funny spacing to make it look even more obvious haha!

No need mate, it stands ooot like a sore thumb as it is...

More work today. Got the other seat in



Seating position is pretty high but not bad. Reverse puts the gear lever close to drivers inside bolster but body lift should sort that. Steering wheel is close to the legs but was thinking about getting a different wheel as mine is pretty worn and rattles like hell!

Got to admit they look the canines danglies mate, but they are as comfy as feck too...

Look nice, Rob. Will be good for off-roading, too!

Aye they are pretty good a little tatty but got them cheap. A few other tweeks to do over the hols
