Final prep of car for MOT tomorrow,low and behold fog light stopped working,bad connections,cleaned and sealed all working and dropped of at MOT station,it's in the lap of the gods now,although I do expect a pass.

Bought this for £35

Spare wheel swing carrier.
Visited the Galvaniser's today so rocksliders , bumper,towbar and the sump and gearbox bash plates are all coming off to have holes drilled on the tubes and shotblasted prior to being galvanised.No more touching up the paint 😊

New B2000 mirrors installed. New steering wheel

Looking good.

Got to agree looking very nice

Clear tail light lenses. The molds were a bit rough, but with a bit of swearing, drilling and hot glue, we got there....excuse the dents....I have some panel beating to do (it was my Dad's farm truck before I got hold of it).

Got some clear corner lenses and bumper lenses too, just have to track down some amber coloured bulbs for them.

Looking good again. Little word of advice on the bulbs as i've got the same clear lenses on mine. The amber coloured ones look shyte as they show through and spoil the look of the clear lenses, so to get round this i went for the chrome covered ones available readily from the bay of evilness.

The fronts on mine are the single filament type, same as the rears.

If your fronts are dual then i'd take a guess they are incorperating a running light which would then become a flasher once the indicators are applied. That's the only thing i can think of if you have dual filament bulbs and holders in there.

Clear corner lights are on (pic)....the bumper lights I'm either going to have to get new holders, find an amber 2 filament bulb or find some sort of paint for the existing bulbs before I fit the clear lenses.

Might be getting new 18 inch wheels in the next couple of weeks or so and possibly lowering it (if a mate of mine has time).

New wheels!!!!!!!

Thanks!

Body's a bit rough as far as dents go being a farm truck for about the last 20 years of its life (can't really see it in the pictures) - little to no rust though! I'll slowly try to tidy it up.

A simple job ha ha removed the diff stripped the diff and replaced the diff lock switch,what a shit design that to replace a switch you have to do all this.
I will do a more in depth write up on stripping the diff out to replace the diff lock switch with more and better photos.

Today I replaced my clutch slave and fitted my light bar, I got lazy though and wired it into the front fogs, worked fine then it blew the fuse. Current draw is 8A on the light bar is this too much to put into the fogs ?
Do I need to wire it up with its own switch or can I put a bigger fuse in ?

what amp fuse is the fogs running on

think its a 10a under the bonnet,
just had a quick look, fuse dosnt look blown but something id odd.
hit the switch, dash lights up, i dont get the fog indictor light, no fogs but i do get side lights,
dont know if i used to get side lights before or not though.

how about head lights? the fuses do dual purpose on these because of the dim dip system

headlights are working ill check em all later, did you wire your light bar up to a new switch ?
