    Got a puncture in my rear tyre last week but have sold my spare! :clap: So I popped up my mates garage and fixed the puncture (luckily it was right in the middle). So while the wheel was off I thought it would be rude if I didn't test fit my spare with my new larger tyre size! Still stock...

    Got my ace conversion 99% complete just after Christmas. All working perfectly, silent and no vibrations. The last thing I need to do is adjust some of the mounting/positioning of the mounts etc and check for rubbing at full extreme articulation. Done 200+ miles so far with no issues. I'll post...

    Fitted one new tyre to the spare so I can test fit it to the truck to see if I can get away with fitting them for road use before the suspension goes on.

    Upgraded my rear indicator bulbs to Twenty20 LED ones as when I changed the rear lights the indicator wasn't very bright. You will need to wire in some resistors otherwise they hyperflash. https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/382-twenty20-cree-led-12v-p21w-canbus-bayonet-bulb.html Bulbs Before...

    Been looking at the Ashcroft's ratio calculator. Not fitted my tyres yet but think I'll need to change the transfer box ratio. Stock 29" tyres and 1.2 transfer box... 32.1" tyres and 1.2 transfer box... 32.1" tyres with 1.3 transfer box... 32.1" tyres with 1.4 transfer box... I'm...

    Hi guys, got another nice update here. Been working on my ACE now my LPG is out of the way. I've worked out the hose lengths and almost finished making these up. Just dropping them off tomorrow to be crimped and the 2x 14mm banjos fitted. Then on Saturday I'm doing the full ACE conversion. I've...

    There has been more progress on my ace as well. I've removed the backend of the LPG install to gain access to the ace valve block so I can complete the conversion. I will also paint the chassis and fit rock sliders while the tanks are out of the way. I've got 2 new tanks, pipes, fittings etc to...

    As mines a facelift the indicators are in the tail lights. I bought the plugs and made up some looms myself. Then just added an orange bulb in what was the reverse light. My bumper lights are untouched.

    Today I changed the rotton rear mudflap brackets. Very messy job :cry: Found out I had limited access with the drill and some of the rivets are made from a very tough steel. Anyway managed to get them both off which revealed some rust. So I cleaned it all up with a wire wheel, used rust...
