[FORGE1]

Looks like ill start this one.

My weekend started on Friday

Met Dannz71 not in the best of circumstances but it was good to meet you mate and will catch up soon that hilux looks to be a very capable truck.

Today spent a bit of time under the rough truck, refitted the viscous fan, started fitting flares and changed the wiper motor over to my spare one.

Plan tomorrow is t fit the rear bar to my good truck and grind the rockslider plates off the rough truck ready to weld on to the good one.

Non 4wd related, made a sled out of some old ski's, and half a pallet, had a bit of fun, now wanting to make some sort of powered snow scooter using a chainsaw motor or similar.

only problem is that it doesnt snow that often here.

[Drurban]

Today replace a 20A fuse for the heater fan which cooked itself which poped the fuse also got another fan and replaced that to, going to give the inside of the truck a birthday on Sunday, than Iam finally going to take the truck off the road and do the mods I wanted to get done on it, watch this space for weekend achievments and I will post photo's of the mod's.

Headed up Big river with some friends, played on some of the side tracks and had a blast spent the night at Big river hut. Woke up this morning to a cracking frost and some sluggish diesel fuel , and then shot down to the Waipuna and did the tunnels today before coming home via the Mauria saddle and fish and chips in Murch
All in all a great trip and a great weekend

[LOLYF]

funny you should say that kelvin,i broke the end off my radius arm in my driveway this morning .tried to tighten the nut at the chassis end and snapped it off now fitting a replacement in between showers as I have no shed

I may have to win this one,
I bent 2 rods in my motor starting the buggy up to back of the truck.

[catalystracing]

Serviced the FWH on the Lux and some rust repairs on the guards, in between gale force wind gusts and torrential rain, but I do have a workshop. . Like Fullthrottle I have added to my firewood collection for another season, amazing amount of damage around

[lincooln]

fitted the injection manifold on the lada and started to plan where I must mount things, may need to do a small loom lengthening for the AFM.

Also need to get a accelerator cable made up to suit. Where is the best place?

I always use bike brake cables. works like a champ. easy enough to carry a spare.

I just got to get the right ends to joint to the Lada pedal and the fiat throttle body, throttle body is easy, lada end bit is a bit different

Will have to look at getting one of them bike brake cables though, cheers

[Cameron]

I can often get away with a round end brake cable, and cut the plastic off one of the little blocks. I've been known to cut them down to one screw size too.

Howd you manage that Dan? No oil would have taken longer than backing it off the truck I would have thought, did it inhale some liquid so something?
