    Thanks mate! I'll be looking after the whole truck, so no destroying it off roading etc. I just like to fit high quality parts and knowing that I can if I want to. I might do some light non scratchy green laning at some point. Its more built for adventures with my family. ACE and airbags are...

    Been playing around with the exhaust again trying to get that perfect sound without any drone etc. So first off I welded in a smaller centre box. This is currently on and being tested, in a few weeks I'll remove and weld in my adjustable length j pipe I made to cancel out the drone...

    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...
