I've called my towbar the ground anchor. All it's good for. Well that and towing.

Fitted new solenoids all well so far

I threw out the 29 empty drinks bottles I'd lobbed over my shoulder that were filling up the back seats

I went out at 06:00 this morning and did the white lettering on the tyres 😀

Fitted 2 new rear springs bushes and bottom plates cleaned and adjusted rear brakes good to have no more knocking

I had slightly low pressure in the tyres so in true forum tradition I changed the fuel filter, that didn't solve it so I pumped them up.

Just fitted a light in the tub off the old carryboy wiring, don't know why as its summer and I don't need it .just seemed like a good idea

I've made and fitted an acrylic front window for the canopy I got for free and a sheet steel rear door for it too.

[[FileSC_0064.JPG|none|auto]]

Had to also repair the hinges for it. A bit of chemical metal and new bolts seem to have sorted it out.

I still need to fettle the one edge on the rear door to fit a bit better, needs some gas struts fitting and then it can be painted.

it looked meaner before mate, but I know needs must and it didnt cost a thing and it wont effect the off road capabilities either well done

what did u do with ur spare? more to the point the box section it was mounted on

Ta, I do prefer the look as it was but the bed was near useless with the roller shutter. The box section and wheel holder is sat under my shed.

Well I dropped and changed the oil as the Dpf light came on and went through a regeneration.

Doh dpf

If u want to get rid of the box and holder let me know mate it will save making one

Broke the fooooookin truck

Drove up from West Midlands Thursday night, 3 miles from the mother in laws realised I had forgotten the lift blocks for the job on Sunday, no problem, at 0500 I drove from Liverpool back to Walsall picked up the blocks and returned back to merseyside.
About a mile or so from the in law a grinding noise and without warning the front o/s dropped slightly with a nasty wheel wobble and within about 100yds little or no brakes and a bit of smoke. After a quick look I limped it back at walking speed.
I jacked it up and didn't even need to wobble the wheel, bollocks, the front wheel bearing had collapsed taking the inner bearing out aswell, the result of both bearings collapsing broke the splined bit of the drive shaft off and the whole mess has welded itself into a molten mess, the manual hubs are plastic have also melted from the heat.
I am now trying to source parts and am stranded till about Wednesday next.
I am seriously getting knobed off with L200s, after the green lane trip a month ago the brakes and hubs where serviced, this destroyed its self with no warning. Prior to this I had been traveling down the motorway and no indication,then along 30 mph roads nothing, and on a housing estate with three close junctions nothing, no squeal rumble or wobble.
Apologies to @alex200 sent you a text letting you know I can't get to you for the rock sliders.
I am sooooo glad I took my tool chest with me it's only waiting on me getting a grinder to get the hub off and await parts arriving Monday onwards.
Fookin shit trucks, if it ran on petrol it would be charcoal now
