yep.

Ouch.

Sad times :-( Im fine, not a scratch. She took it well. Photos sent to garage for repair quote, they were amazed that the outrigger wasnt bent apparently if a wheel is ripped off the radius arm normally goes through the chassi. Chassis straight and sound. Now just have insurance to deal with :-(

Thanks for the concern tho

Fitted the light bar and two of the 4 lights, had to take the Hella's down to sort the wiring so I'll be re-doing them tomorrow morning and then attempting to adjust the beams up a little as I have a bit of bonnet glare from the 150w Daylighters

Good luck with the insurance -there are some good tips in my thread last year http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/mot-then-some-156036.html . Don't come out of this having to put your hand in your pocket.

Hope everything works out for you. Goldilocks. :crutch: Got the MOT on mine. It was a week of weld weld weld. then some welding. track-rod end. new break servo. wheel stud. exhaust and plenty of cleaning. :biggrin1:

fitted a new raptor dash

Quite a bit, got the rear diff off yesterday, today I've cleaned the spring, shock absorbers, wheel spacers and all other bits and bobs! Removed the panhard rod bushes (pain in the nech ) and cleaned up the rods and painted them, also discovered a few holes in the chassis that need patching up, not bad for a 20 year old car, hopefully the new rear axle will be on tomorrow

what the fookinell is that and whats it for ????

i have arb compressor for air lockers the blue vessel is for on board air(air tank),as i have big 35 tyres if i have to let some air out i can now blow them back up without putting a strain on compressor..the air tank is bolted through the wood floor which hides spare wheel budy.

i put a t piece on top of compressor ,so one part goes to air lockers,the other to air tank.i put in line a valve ,non return valve,theoff the tank i put pressure gauge,and a dump valve just incase anything fails and compressor carries on pumping air into tank,the tank is tested at 14 bar which is more than capable,hope this helps with your project
