Exciting times bro

[shortylux]

Damn you you for always getting shit done! I go into my garage every day but havent achieved anything worth taking a photo of for weeks.

Well done bro. Keep it up.

[Mattrade]

Thanks Got it all finished for the weekend 4wding. Broke my rear upper rear control arm on the street pushing to hard in 2nd. But got it out and welded back together and reinforced.

Went out to Woodhill and only made it less than 100m before I drove over a big dead log and ripped out my fuel line!!!

So still haven't tested out the new lockers properly. Dam!!!

[Mattrade]

Had a problem with the temp creeping up, so replaced the water pump since it is about to hit 90 thousand ks. And built a aluminium fan shroud.

But think after all that it was a vac leak that was causing the over heating issue ha ha but glad its done

[Mattrade]

Just before Christmas a old ups power supply malfunctioned and caught my house on fire at 4am but luckily my partner woke us up in time. But as fire does it creped over and burnt my tool shed up too.

But we in our new house now ( misses is happy) and I can starting building a new work shop

[Mattrade]

Managed to save my truck so life wasn't all that bad, but was having some fun towing what was left down with my truck and bust my front axel when the cv gave out

[Mattrade]

So have some long fields super axels arriving soon but don't have stock freewheeling hubs to install the Chromoly side gears in.

Any one have any they want to sell me?????

[suzolla]

[Mattrade]

[Mattrade]

[Mattrade]

Had a mean time at woodhill check out the mud!!!
Poor radiator

[Mattrade]

Bought my self a new little toy to get around town

[zukmeista]

Watch out, when you get two the little buggers start breeding!

[Mattrade]

Ha Ha yup starting to think I have a problem

Installed a new 4 row fj40 radiator to keep her cool. It tended to got hot on the beach so this should sort it. Also wanted to redesign the bracket so I can take it out for easy cleaning of all the mud.

[Mattrade]

Then got started on a snorkel.

[Mattrade]

Been hard at it after work getting the air box finished for the weekend. Just have the stainless hardware to bolt down the lid left

The air box is an old stainless steel high bay light fitting from the old lion Nathan brewery , go the free stuff

[Ashohman]

Any chance you could get ur hands on another one of those boxes?

[Mattrade]

Hey sorry man only saved one from the bin, and it was a good 3 months ago. Dam should have taken more

[Mattrade]

Got some supply's to finish off the lid. Decided on rivnuts before realising how much the gun was ha ha. But worked out well.

Also cork to make a good seal. But think ill cut out a piece of stainless steel to sandwich the lid down.
