Haha

Dodged the rain showers to change a half shaft gasket. Should stop the oil splatter on the rear wheel

My exhaust finally turned up today, bloody ****part, but what did I expect from padocks.
Parts for my winch also came today, so it'll be a busy weekend.

Fitted the air horns today, there 135db and LOUD, I hate to think what the 150db ones are like.

Exhaust still hasn't arrived

My 150db ones should arrive tomorrow. Can't wait to get them on.

Hope your exhaust last longer than mine has. First one lasted 12 months almost to the day. Second one has lasted almost two years. Both from Paddocks. Think I will go stainless next time round.

Taken off the 2 1/2 " lowering kit and fitted std height suspension on. Now I don't need to avoid speed bumps

Mine has also gone almost 12 month to the day after fitting a full new one

Centre Section, The back box and front down pipe have corroded but haven't blown through yet. Guess thats what you get for buying cheap chinese sh1t.

I'll keep the old down pipe and center box then, just in case.

Fitted nato hitch to rangie

cut more bits off ,,,,,,

Fitted my 150 db air horns, bit disappointed. I thought they would be louder.

I used mine in anger today, I'm also disappointed, they sounded very loud in the workshop, but out on the open road they're nowhere near as impressive.

I'm sure the ones the truckers have are much louder. Mine are 150 db and on the box said they were truckers. But then they were made in China so who knows if they are 150 db?

how big was the stump? easier to pull if you leave them 3-4 feet tall or pull with a very short strap/chain as it pulls more vertical than horizontal. Also if you had a spade and dug around the roots would make it easier

Been on the phone kicking up a stink with my breakdown provider as the company they used to recovered it (immobiliser wouldn't disable while I was at work, so they sent a flat bed to get it home) have broken the steering. Now it needs to be recovered again to a garage (completely undriveable as is) to get a quote for repair. Not to say I am angry, but it didn't look like this when they collected her.
