looking good AD and Fierce how loud are they@ @AD

I just did a gearbox oil change - not sure if change is the right word cos what came out looks like it could have come out of the dog on a bad day.

Just leaving on mate

Well it's not really what I have do more likely mechanic, but just had a service thought I'd better get it done to keep the history up to date.
So engine, gearbox, front and rear diff and transfer box had new oil and some form of additive(he did tell me but went in one ear and out the other).
New belts and tensioner's, water pump and antifreeze, steering fluid and various other bits.
Been advised of a few things that will need changing shackles and bushes.

Overall very pleased and drives nice.

Not for my truck but for a facebook member. Another set done and ready to go to Cornwall when the paints hardened

they look great Alex what u painting them with

I use machine enamel/synthetic paint as its pretty tough with hardener added to it and easy to spray. I'm trying a different brand from my local paint shop as I cant get hold of the stuff I used to use anymore. The kramp tractor paint was brilliant. I hate powder coating its useless.

i hate powder coating too u cant touch it up, i just did my sliders in raptor

the raptor stuff looks like it could stop a bullet lol. no more tree rash if you did your whole truck in it thats for sure.

lol thats the plan to do the whole truck in it i have done the 2 bonnet vents will do the bonnet in a few weeks time then ill go panel by panel

look sweet them sliders mate

If they did a smooth version of the raptor id be doing the same mate. Looks like you could literally hit it with a hammer and it would still hold on. I'm thinking of doing my chassis with it since my mate in the bay down from me took this fancy American frost kb frame coating off with a piddly little patio pressure washer. Stripped it off the back crossmember on his 90. Cheers mike. Looks like the last order for the time being.

have to get you started on a diff drop lol
wish i had a unit or something

I will do my chassis once the 3m stuff wears off but u need to go to bare metal and prime the chassis first ideally

Ahh right I thought it would be one of these minimum prep type of paints abit like hammerite is. Bit of a ball ache on a built up chassis with a body on. I bet diff drop brackets wouldn't be hard to make. Make a template and cut them out of some 10mm with the plasma cutter.

Well today I changed the bulbs on the truck, bit boring I know but looks good and I thought I'd share.

Biggest problem I had was 3 bolts sheared off and I had to drill them out., 2 above the grill and one of the top the light.

Here's the before


And the after




Also changed the side lights and indicator bulbs and fitted but not wired in the daytime running lights.
