What have you done to your Landie today.

replaced the UJ's on the front prop, fitted some 265/75 r16 BFG AT's now getting an odd clunking noise when rolling along at about 4 mph still getting the noise as if the UJ's have gone despite all being okay. still getting a loud noise when turning left despite new front wheel bearings

Off to spend some time lying underneath. Stripping back the chassis for fresh paint/waxoyl. Using some rusteater to try and clean things up. Then wheels off to check hubs and brakes, as i think they'll need done some time soon.
And since its semi dry better now than in the ****ing rain!

Replaced the brake fluid, hopefully the brakes will be a bit better than just sticking my feet through the floor!

fixed my diff lock light and polybushed my rear end

replaced the rear body mount bolts.
fitted rear bump stops (new bolts)
fitted 1" spacers to rear suspension.
schultzed over the welding of last weekend.
primered and first top coat on rear wheel arch repair.
started to look at front inner wings. :bolt:

I've seen you give peeps less than 2 minutes more grief so put the tea down

Managed to get the engine to **** oil everywhere! Removed the breather pipe from the air intake (19J engine) Stuck it with a bottle to catch any oil, didn't realise i needed a hole in the bottle to let the pressure back out .
So after ****ing a chunk of oil out. I cut a hole in the bottle and problem fixed!

Also took off the front wheels and cleaned up everything inside the arches and painted them. Chassis is half painted, but all preped. to be finished during the week.

OK pics for ya.

Yesterday I drove mine back from the Isle of widget and then let the ballast drive it home from work after I picked up the truck and the chav box..

Today I let it have a rest and walked past it twice.
