the more joins the more can go wrong. damp ingress etc. I would just make the effort to feed a complete cable in just to save me kicking myself when I get a load of static due to a rushed job and a corroded connector. can't say much more on the job as I have a D1 not a fender so wouldn't know...

fair do's I have had mine through water at yarwell and then had a rear wheel bearing that needed tightening and spotted a little damp on the halfshaft but previous to that I changed the front axle casing and had a little damp on the innermost threads of the breather elbow that screws into the...

got it sorted it's now got the correct front end back her :dance: was easier than expected to sort it out

lets see how far I get with putting the 200 front end back on her

fitted my bigger bfg and general a/t tyres then lost some of the weights of the inside of the nsf wheel so now it vibrates :mad: from 235/70r16 to 265/75r16 just need to adjust the steering stops now as they catch the radius arm one way but not the other

cheers was wondering about the pressure differences with them being in the snorkel. I have seen loads that are in the snorkel so thought that was the way to do it. that'll teach me for being a sheep I suppose

I got that ebay one in black. still got some hose left over but was short a 2into1 fitting. one thing I really want to ask though is where to plumb it to. I have mine fed into the top of my snorkel but I still seem to have got some water into my axles could this be because of the breathers...

got my hands on a set of 30mm wheel spacers so got them fitted tonight. the torque setting for my D1 wheels is 130nm so I'm guessing it's the same for the spacers or has anyone got any other opinions?

that looks the bollax is it structural or more for show?

attempted to make a rear light bar yesterday but gave up as I couldnt seem to get anything straight then today I stripped cleaned and rebuilt both my hilift jacks. they seem to be working better now

finished of the gearbox renewal of the works D1 today. looks like mine will be getting a rest now hopefully. so long as nothing else goes wrong with the works one

Fitted the road wheels back on and drove to work then cleaned the side windows and emptied the indicators of yarwell lake

been to yarwell today testing out all my toys I've fitted since the last time I was there. really impressed with where it can go now. did get it stuck coming out the trees though so it''s not unstoppable yet but it's getting there

no towing today :D managed to get the front axle casing swapped over this afternoon and top up my transfer box oil and fit my 7.50 x16s along with the long awaited arch trim. all ready for yarwell tomorrow. hopefully no more arch problem

I always park with the steering lock holding the wheels off centre so it's harder to drag onto a trailer. It's also alarmed and I have a very alert dog that goes mental when he hears the slightest noise. extra security is on it's way aswell. well written good advice. I also like to keep note of...

towed for work to move unit. got home and cleaned and painted my new axle casing. trying out halfrauds enamel paint as hammerite has gone downhill and doesnt seem to stick like it used to

smart move :D drove round with mine covered in mud today getting some weird looks only had the wiper area clear :D then jetwashed it when I got home and changed the wheels back to the road wheels ready for towing this week. can't wait to get the arches cut and the bigger a/t's on should mean I...

you got a 300 or td5 then? took mine out laning with 3 vitaras and a shogun last night. had to pull 1 vitara out the muddy ruts as he's ground clearance stopped him getting any further then I just drove through with my 7.50x16 generals on. was a good nights driving now just need to clean the...

my D1 weights just off of 2.5 ton (had it on the scrap yard weigh bridge) and I have had 3448 kg behind it. going by the vin plate of the car on the trailer + the trailer plate itself. I've got a 2" lift with standard road tyres and that towed fine

as much you can afford as little as needed. decent tyres are a must as I expertly demonstrated infront of Blackstrat. decent recovery points front and rear strong rope/strops, a spade and a high lift jack as many guards as you feel necessary. anything else is pretty much extra and of personal...
