    Been busy preparing my LPG reinstallation! Originally it was a right bodge job from the past. Terrible fitting of the tanks. So I've got some new tanks, brackets and everything else. Popped into work today and welded some long bolts to the new brackets so I can fit the tank and both brackets in...

    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...
