why you got pink foam?

and when shiny that is a lovely looking truck

last time I ordered some snow foam I ordered pineapple (yellow color) and raspberry (pink)
didn't know when I ordered them that they'd be those colors

all washed today, hopefully if dry in the morning then I'll polish it too

I got work to change the belts pulleys etc and bottom crank pulley.
Bottom pulley was delaminated and slightly spinning but no wobble, phew just caught in time.

In the last couple of days I put in a third temp sensor in the cooling system , I now have one in the top hose, bottom hose and heater return pipe . The theory with the heater hose one is that it is the first thing that packs up when coolant is lost so I should see big fluctuations in temp readings , also put in a switch over so I can select what sensor I want readings from on one gauge

I spent the rest of today finishing off my grill, the rubbing down is a bit naff in places but I'm happy 😀

washed the truck today ........ got rid of the sticky shite left from where the previous owner decided that duct tape would protect the top of the tailgate

and most importantly I cleaned the moss and algae off the top of the cab by the rear window



and fitted the first of many shiny bits

Phew, another year test with no advisories this afternoon. Get in..

Ordered new washer jets and washed Monkey poop off the bonnet and fixed the trim back today, Lesson learnt, if you go to the safari park let your mate drive

Bled the brakes,checked all fluid levels.
MOT at 3 tomorrow so fingers crossed all will be well.

PASSED TEST

Looking nice and shiny Kurt

One of the things I'm after next is the chrome bar thing that the spot lights go on on the roof to raise them up a few inches

If anyone happens to know where to get one then please let me know

Just done track rod ends
Looked at the invoice from millers and I paid more with the discount code than without😳 I know it only a quid but how does that work, use your code pay more postage 😳Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
Does it work the same for larger orders

After doing the Cambelt a few weeks back, the outer twin pulley broke. Left the AC belt off and ordered a new one for my friend/mechanic to fit for me. Radiator etc out, everything stripped, and then he realises I have bought the deep pulley and the one on the truck is the shallow one. Great. NEED the car tomorrow too, so all back together and need to talk to the suppliers to see if they will swap for me.

Exactly what I did mate - I still have a spare pre fbw pulley if anyone needs one ;)

added another shiny bit today ........ city guard type of thing under the bumper
