Where can I get chrome moly crown wheel and pinions????

[vvilly]

busy day today fitted new rear diff head which included a lockrite.
changed the trans sump from the 185 one to a 130 one so that the dip stick does not get collected by my drive shaft anymore.
couldnt find a rear wheel stud today so will get one tomorrow then i can take her off the axle stands







also scored a new bonnet protector and chrome grill. these will be fitted when i can move the truck out of my garage

[vvilly]

Big day today full service including flushing my trans.
Fitted new Chrome grill, bigger trans cooler and bonnet protector.

Where has everyone exited the wires to there roofs when hooking up light bars????

[Clint]

You can run the wires up the snorkel - get a couple of rubber grommets & install with a dab of sealant. Another way is to just run the wire up the pillar & cover it with some heavy duty polyethylene sticky tape, sounds rough but if you are careful it'll look ok.

Cheers
Clint

Drill a hole in the roof and use a electrical bulk head fitting

[vvilly]

Cheers Clint.

New shoes today.

Had issues finding 15x9's so ended up with 17x9's. And 35" hm2's.

And guess what
NO MORE DEATH WOBBLE

[vvilly]

So had a sick engine as of late. Down on 2 cylinders.oil through my intercooler. Getting harder to start. And some nasty noises on start up. So got a low km one off Gavin at Country Automotive.
Fitted her what a bloody difference the old girl must gave been sick for some time.

[vvilly]

Also had tom whip up a three inch including dump pipe

[BlakeNZ]

looking good VVilly.
what do you think caused the demise of the motor?

[vvilly]

Unknown Gav said possible glow plug tip cause when I pulled them out they were practically brand new

[vvilly]

Had Tom jig up a tray this week.

Bloody happy

[vvilly]

Lance and I didn't go to church on Sunday. But we dis turn some scrap steel into a bike rack
Mounted from the spare wheel carrier

[vvilly]

So havnt posted for a while.
Few things have been fixed on the girl.
Had the link arm bushes all machined up again done the kingpins. And she is driving perfectly.

She was broken into just before Xmas and lost 90% of all my accessories in light bars spot lights go pro they even took my bourbons out of the chilly bin and left the chilly bin.


Also scored a 2.5x2.0 roof top awning of trademe for next to nothing. And fitted a hid h4 headlight kit

A we bit of electrical to do and I recon she will be in a good state.

Then the big decision to sell or not to sell
