Terrano filly

[hillfilly]

Tonight I got a phone call saying the front of my truck had fallen off
Holy Cow
and a text .....“Hi there ur truck is being turn in 2 a mans truck now........”

Reply was “No comment” when I asked if I have to now drive like a man.

However it got me remembering when I first saw my truck

As my brother found it.

Early trips barely noticeable modifications for both of us











Things need adjusting mmmmmmm





Try these tyres

[hillfilly]

Snorkel time



Room needed





Measure twice



Cut once





Nearly swimming time

[hillfilly]

Time to check the tyres
Flex testing last night

low flex test





Yep trim has to go



Flex a wee bit higher up







Then I went blissfully home
until the phone call , now who knows what she looks like....

I need to get in there

[nuts]

he he well i pulled the front appart and what would you know bare wires hhmmmm well the wires of the old spotties wer exposed due to rubbing on the aircon radiator and 1 wire was ripped out of the horn on the drivers side so i fixed those and then the radiator was full of dry mud ... where you been ??? or is that last yrs mud ??? the drivers side front guard has 15 mm more clearance to the front of the tire now thanks to a rubber hammer ive thrown the bumper off was not worth leaving on due to the shape decided to mod some old bars a mate offerd and that as far as i got last nite

Starting to look like a real truck now.

[hillfilly]

She looks a bit bare .........
I really do have to get better at washing the mud out though I think
