Have been doing the diffs so it was its first start up for a month or so. Spent some time getting it started after one of the batteries had been charging over night. Starter would spin but not engage. Tow started easy but still not by the starter. Fixed itself later.
Had to adjust and bleed the brakes which got done with some assistance and a quick delivery of extra brake fluid from Dave (one of the MU drivers)
Had to check the 4wd etc was working to check the chewed hoses were connected right. No problems.
Dashed in to Rangiora to fuel up and flew up to the gorge to arrive at 10:15 sharp! Started airing down but ran out of time so went at 20/25/25/25.
Had the young fellow who was helping me last weekend with us along with his sister, friend, mother and foster sister. Was a new experience for them and they had a great time and the mum was even asking how much a truck like that costs (young chap was "Yeah Mum!"
). I might need earmuffs if I try driving sideways on banks again with a 16y/o girl on board!
No breakages, didn't need a recovery, no wet carpets, but ended up with truck full of broom flowers thanks to passengers!
Good trip all round!
