I knew you'd bite Jase. I just knew it!

[petefj40]

The truck is STILL at the Auto sparkys.
It'll be next week till it's a runner again. What a performance.
He found a broken wire in the loom right behind the motor which was causing the fuel pump to cut out. But that may have caused other problems.

[petefj40]

Ah well.
On a brighter note.
Me side bars and guards are all shiny and done. yeah yeah they need to be on a truck an have mud on em to look the part.
But I'm really happy how they turned out. The anodized alloy tread plate looks great.

I'm thinking of ditching the cammo paint job and go for plain old gloss black. Being gloss you'll see the scratches easier.

[Sadam_Husain]

Isnt it funny how they put your flash new bling gaurds on nice soft towels and stuff so they dont get scratched..... as soon as there on the truck they'll get smashed into banks and covered in mud and shit like there designed to do


Looking good

[H2OLOVA]

Thought about getting the whole thing rewired? You've added alot of extra wires to the truck along the way with the engine and all it's bits, Mega spotlights and the various other "bling" bits we all add to our trucks.

it is funny.
But HRN know how much they cost me, so they are treating them as new items.

If he scratches them putting them back on I'll be asking for a discount.

yeah I have Jase.
I have thought about getting a purpose made loom for the truck. The loom in it now seems dodgy. But that's no surprise. The outfit that made the loom up not to mention the people who repowered it were dodgy AS!!

Its is more of a show truck rather than a 4 wheel drive.

Real 4 wheel drives don't worry about paint or stickers

Cheers Richard

Hey wash your mouth out with soap

[petefj40]

I know where Rich is coming from. But he's met me. Seen me truck blah blah. he's a good bloke. Probably just a bit jealous.

I'm not in the best mood right now. So if ya wanna throw shit, except some back AND some.

I said to Janet this will get a few bites.

Couldn't help myself when i saw the protection on the ground, you have seen my truck and I doubt there is a more dented truck.

I'm am the other extreme. people have said to me over the years ,Why dont you have a personalized plate, Why dont you have any stickers.

My Answer is "HOW DOES THAT MAKE A TRUCK PERFORM BETTER"

Thats just me

Don't take me too seriously Pete

Cheers Richard

[petefj40]

Nah. I've had to laugh off things today otherwise i would of gone nuts.



It's all good. Excuse my male sensitivity right now.
I had a few plans for the weekend. But without the tow machine it's all off, fark it.

[petefj40]

These next photos are only off my cellphone.

this is Greg soldering the cracked wiring in the harness.




And this is the area that is dodgy. (before he started soldering)





Swapped ECU's. No change.

[Jerry]

hmmm that looks familar ....most of my current loom is like this

Keep up the mods to the show truck....thr rest of us are jealous

[petefj40]

isn't it a farken pain Jerry!?

Ah well. I better get up and grab another beer.

[petefj40]

(cracks another Radler)

Well Jerry.

it would be good to have a purpose made harness for our machines. Water proof, tough, one that simply intergrates with the original/stock one.

[Sadam_Husain]

(cracks another Radler)

Grab one of these Pete

[petefj40]

cheers! nothing against Tui.
I'll stick with me Radlers.

can get premade Link looms, i've seen them on TM for 2500+ but yours might me a bit cheaper since you 40 only has 5 wires in the whole loom

I've been doing this all day.

[petefj40]

Good news.

Finally, this afternoon she kicked into life again.
All the sensors checked out ok.

The problem turned out to be where the harness had a sharp bend in it breaking the power feed to the fuel pump.
All other wires have been checked and the bend is not so harsh.

Just some extra bar work to added to the roll cage so I can have a PRS fitted in the roof and it'll be just about done.

[haynzy]

How can a man with such a cool truck drink womens piss

Ah well. I've always perfered my own company over anyone else. I talk to myself a lot.


Geez. All over a bit of Westcoast Ale.

And me move to the Wesrcoast? I'd move there in a heart beat skid. Honest, I would. When the kids fly from the nest.....

Forget all that drinking stuff, just gets every one sidetracked, the more you drink the worse it gets - just concentrate on getting the truck mobile again.

Come out on the Gary/Okuku trip on the 16th to start breaking the bars in, there (should be) no need to use them on banks, just a bit of bush and branches. (But you never know what some divers might find - I ended having to winch off sitting on my springs and chassis because I didn't check a section of track before proceeding down a washout )
