June 30

1 - Picked up the wifes Wrangler. Thank lord that the tranny is now all go and shes on the road again. Got charged more than what I was told it was going to be over the phone, but hell, Im just glad shes got it back and I dont have that hanging over my head any more.

2 - Replaced right wheel cylinder on Cherokee.

3 - Replaced rear brake line to allow for the full 3 inch lift on Cherokee.

4 - Changed the shocks on a mates Pulsar, and in the process managed to pop his front axle out...... bloody cars...... who would want to work on cars???? Anyway, got him up and going again.

July 1

Will probably go to bunnings and see how the garden edging works as flares.

Will attempt to break something else as so as theres something to do next weekend.

then took the dog for a walk down allong the river and shot shit out of all the Koi carp allong the edge (got 23 of the bloody things !) and 4 rabbits so pretty good day considering the weather

Well actually worked on my 4x4 for a change , been a while . Pulled the engine out with a view to put in a cheep one I got the other day ,alas it was an auto and it has a bush in place of the bearing in the crank shaft , god knows why its there . Anyway could not get it out so started to swap over the intakes as that is my next guess on its ailment . Found some foam seals in the intake of no 3 , guess thats why I get intermitent poor compression on no 3 and possibly accounts for the air leak causing the high idle .
Heres hoping it goes when I get it all back together .

Thanks to Rick at 4wd Accesserioes and my Bro-in law Hosehustler we managed to put a new clutch kit in the safari before the birthday trip in two weeks. Actual clutch was ok but the pressure plate was F*$#@d. Took us 4 hrs not bad really :wink:

Yea I heard that was your mission for today... We fitted a new fan last night. Bought a piece of Aluminium to start making the fan shroud, had a long chat with Nigel at Lineside... and took charlie to an adventure playground.. which was partially flooded so we both got soaked :-D

well, today my little son joseph turned the big 1..

so was a marathon effort last night to make the cake.. the blue engine of the choo choo was a strawberry swirl, second and third carriages are a normal madiera type cake, and the final carriage was meant to be the 'little red caboose' but the doris got raspberry flavour not colourin, doh!

red caboose was made to be 'joey friendly' as he has allergies to dairy, soy, egg, fish, nuts, wheat and a few others. and found some cookies that were 'joey friendly too.. sweet. we had his party at lollipops.. he loved it!

and here is birthday boy with another 'non joey friendly' cake, just for family.

love him to bits... happy birthday joey.

played sober driver to the missus and her sister last night :roll:

driving 2 drunk females home at 5:30 in the morning is not fun specially when they decide to take over the stereo and then bicker at each other for most of the trip home.....(thank god for MP3 players :twisted:

Worked all Saturday. Today removed fuel return line on the old mans pajero as was fractured and leaking (mainly because I have soldered it up too many times now) and will be getting a new one tomorrow, and did some other bits and pieces around the house (ie shovelled dog shit all afternoon, man for such small dogs they are shitting machines!!).

Went Invercargill to pickup myself a new truck and spent most of the day driving back. So happy to join the Cruiser club. Spent sunday sleeping on and doing the usual shit around the house.
