I will be swapping out the steering box for another second hand one as the one that is in it does not handle very well, will post photo's on Sunday, I have done some prep work which will make things easier I hope.

This will be my first attempt at doing something myself.

Well it all went well until I came to getting the bolt connector from were it goes through the eye on the arm on the steering box, this I could not budge for the life of me, anyway no biggie I will find out a way and from there it should not take me long to swap out.

Sorry on photo's I fiqured seeing I did not have the old steering box out then there is no point.

[mudmike]

spent the weekend looking for the fault in my truck that is making it cut out, think it is either a short, or the ECU. spent alot of time looking for damaged wires but could be anywhere.
Now just sick of it, and need to borrow or buy an ECU to see if it's that.

Shot up to Pick a part and picked up some random stuff
Vacuum lines, Washer bottle cap ( grabbed the wrong one too big lol) Another gear knob and some bonnet rubber things.

Now the trucks bonnet stays nice and still .

Started installing my CB, Got the aerial in and half of the unit in . All to be done now is final mounting wiring and maybe an external speaker.

Day 2. Installed my under bonnet tool tray . Boost controller in and 80% of the wiring is done. Started to have a play with the fuel since I have the instruments to monitor things

Roll on the long weekend.

My Weekend Started Mid Week ,Did a job over at GT Barrier Island last week ,Took the van over and got it horribly stuck on the guys property,the house owner only had a Quad and that wasnt going to move it ,and he was in Auck with the keys anyway local tow truck owner was over in Auck so no bloody help there" No cell ph coverage ,nearest sign of life about 4km.walk away,so by the time i found some one with a 4wd (landrover) and got towed out i missed the last ferry sailing and had to stay the night and rebook for later the following day ,really pi##ed of at myself for being such a muppet and driving over a muddy building site that i knew looked suspect .

Maby it's time to buy a cheap electric winch and mount on the van.....

i remember a bunch of us cruising down victoria street on a saturday night after a day playing around at ngaroma unfortunately i was only a passenger on that trip that was a while ago lol

[mbw]

Anybody know if the waimak is open, went down there a while back and it was all locked up

yup north side still open don't know about south if you go in by bridge will only get just past motorbike tracks till you hit locked gate theres a back way to get into 4x4 area go down tram road then heywards road follow that till get to baynoms rd then that goes straight to 4x4 area.

I was there on the weekend, it looks like someone had smashed the gate, so it's unlocked until they fix it I suppose.

[u13turbo]

Yeah easy as to get to if you come from Rangiora, No gate that they can lock(at this stage...)
