What have you done to your Landie today.

Made a set at turning my new swb frontera into a pick up. Only bought it on Saturday
First off I started by ripping out the rear seats , carpet and the side panels.
Items used part of an old metal bed frame to make a frame welded it in place then of course part of a frontera roof to box in two sections at the top.




My two toys

Changed a UJ on a disco 2 front prop

new air filter,
easy jobs as this make me feel so stupid for having paid in the past to have them done

Pumped up the mandatory flat tyre not all the way as I only have a foot pump at my mums. Put some liquid platinum also known as petrol in it then I turned ignition on all so far so good then turned the key and......... battery gave up so now I need to find a compressor AND find a way to jump it all my tools at my ex's house till friday :-(

Dies that mean it runs out of water twice as fast

just fitted the power cable and kill switch for the rear anderson plug on the 110 just have to pop over my mates tomorrow and use his hydrolic crimper to fit the plug tomorrow.
a mate i play darts with gave me the power cable off his hi-lux as he does'nt use it as he sold his tipper trailer, going to do away with the battery on our trailer as you can bet when you need to tip it pronto the bastid will be flat also got enough anderson connectors to make a good set of jumper cables gets a bit tiresome taking out the passenger seat swab in the rain to jump start a car or the works van :doh:

New wheels and tyres! What a difference it makes.

Needs to have a trim and a lift. That all happens on Friday!

Replaced a blown sidelight bulb -

and while I had my hand stuck down the back of the headlights -

changed the headlight bulbs for some decent Osram Nightbreakers ...

had to get it done today - didn't fancy doing it tomorrow in the wind and rain

Tried to stop the lump with inefficient brakes whilst going downhill again...........
