    The only issue that I've discovered since buying the box is that it doesn't have a high/low switch which means no throttle map changes or hill decent. Couple of options, swap over the front of my current case to this one or fit a manual switch inside the truck. No idea how much work it is or...

    So I've managed to find a fully reconditioned transfer box with a custom 1.3 ratio done by ashcroft! This was done in 2019 but has never been used, only installed in the chassis. Not even had oil in it. The chap was doing a full galvanised chassis rebuild but got ill and had to abandoned the...

    Done a few more jobs recently. My bearmach heater matrix hoses and my lpg hoses both decided to leak through the ends of the actual pipes where the braid is even know they are new pipes. Very annoying :( So I've fitted genuine heater matrix hoses and ash silicone hoses for the lpg. Hopefully...

    While underneath the other day I noticed the rear diff seal slightly leaking so I've ordered a new one and will fit next Saturday. Also go a couple bits back from the powder coaters. Restored a set of front spring mounts and got my Ratel X crossmember spacers done as well because why not :lol1:

    Got a puncture in my rear tyre last week but have sold my spare! :clap: So I popped up my mates garage and fixed the puncture (luckily it was right in the middle). So while the wheel was off I thought it would be rude if I didn't test fit my spare with my new larger tyre size! Still stock...

    Got my ace conversion 99% complete just after Christmas. All working perfectly, silent and no vibrations. The last thing I need to do is adjust some of the mounting/positioning of the mounts etc and check for rubbing at full extreme articulation. Done 200+ miles so far with no issues. I'll post...

    Fitted one new tyre to the spare so I can test fit it to the truck to see if I can get away with fitting them for road use before the suspension goes on.

    Upgraded my rear indicator bulbs to Twenty20 LED ones as when I changed the rear lights the indicator wasn't very bright. You will need to wire in some resistors otherwise they hyperflash. https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/382-twenty20-cree-led-12v-p21w-canbus-bayonet-bulb.html Bulbs Before...

    Been looking at the Ashcroft's ratio calculator. Not fitted my tyres yet but think I'll need to change the transfer box ratio. Stock 29" tyres and 1.2 transfer box... 32.1" tyres and 1.2 transfer box... 32.1" tyres with 1.3 transfer box... 32.1" tyres with 1.4 transfer box... I'm...

    Hi guys, got another nice update here. Been working on my ACE now my LPG is out of the way. I've worked out the hose lengths and almost finished making these up. Just dropping them off tomorrow to be crimped and the 2x 14mm banjos fitted. Then on Saturday I'm doing the full ACE conversion. I've...

    There has been more progress on my ace as well. I've removed the backend of the LPG install to gain access to the ace valve block so I can complete the conversion. I will also paint the chassis and fit rock sliders while the tanks are out of the way. I've got 2 new tanks, pipes, fittings etc to...
