    So I noticed a a bit of pink coolant on my oil filter and my new panhard rod. Upon inspection I found the water pump to be the culprit. This was probably the only this I didn't change when doing the engine. The previous owner said it wasn't very old and looked great so I left it. The cost was...

    Fitted my panhard bar and Adrenalin 4X4 HD steering arms this Saturday. Aligned both axles and set the alignment to toe out 3 degrees. The previous set up was toe out to 1.5 degrees. The spec is 0-10 toe out so I went for 3. It feels better than ever and now my steering wheel is straight again...

    Been working on this oak phone mount which displays all my live data etc. Can't decide on the stain. Was thinking black to match the dash and not stand out so much.
