What have you done to your Landie today.

set up the transfer linkages after doing the clutch...had to do it twice though cos I temporarily lost high box

Some piccies of my CB rig;







Initially tried fixing it with the small self tappers they supply with it, but it was ridiculously wobbly. So I drilled through the plastic dash and into the metal behind it, and fixed with nice meaty rivets. Same with the SWR meter and mic bracket, nice and solid now. Ran the cable through the bulkhead to the wingtop, 12v power taken from inside the fusebox. Nice easy job, ended up quite neat too

I fitted my rig and SWR in exactly the same place last week, live taken from fusebox too. Only thing different is that I fitted my Thunderpole to the back roof section with a mount placed just above the rear side window. The coil is just higher than the roof and SWR reading read 1.1 on ch 1 and 40

Fitted a new steering drop arm today ... what a bitch of a job but all done!

Nice, that is a very good SWR! I would have had mine on the roof, but every day I have to go in and out of a low gate that the Landy only clears by about 3 inches! I know these aerials are supposed to be flexible but that would be one hell of a limbo!

I know what you mean ... mine makes a lot of pinging sounds when going under trees so I'll see how long it lasts!

Just don't go under any low power lines! Apparently there was a famous British case of a CB user who drove under a low power line and was killed by the shock transmitted through his aerial

well drove up friday to see doris(and make her make some V8 noise)

drove back today.

yesterday I borrowed a small jubilee clip from the cooling system on the engine so I could attached a hose to my central heating system to drain it... does that count?

I polished my range today, so now even the scratches are shiny!

whipped the 2 rear wheels and tyres off the old 90 ready to fit the 285 bfg m/t's when they arrive this week , may as well give um a lick of paint while thier off , so washed off the portion of devon that was in residence on um

Just ripped, well cut the exhaust off fron the y pipe back. juiceyv8 I see why you did it. Going put it back on though. Too much low speed shunting to park in my street

Well i attacked my discovery with a grinder over the weekend. cut out all the rot along the sills and part of the floor. most of the inner sill is gone along with the outer.got the passengers side all cleaned up and mounted the box section and tacked in place.Not bad for about 5 hours work and fighting with the heavy rain all weekend.
Ah well theres always next weekend.

Exhaust GOT go go back on. Ran mile up road and it way too loud. Did my bolldy sweed in. New cats ordered, and found a man who will do me a straight pipe instead of centre box

Fitted a pair of wind deflectors to my Defender TD5 hardtop.
I only shattered one of them ....
