While you guys and gals were having a great time camping, I went home to Scotland to see the family. I took some pics but have to upload them individually. I don't need to say why I miss this place soooooo much. I feel so free here.

Cheers buddy. Yeah, flaps are good 😁

Happy with it now

Another pic

And as you can see, I thought I quite fancied some flaps :augie sorry, couldn't help myself :lol As this is mostly a road going truck I'm not worried about them but they are held on with 3 bolts and easily replaceable

Also Jerry can side

Another fault with the bumper was that the swing away arms had nothing to stop them. If the tyre arm swings all the way round it hits the light, so if it goes round at pace it will be very easy to smash the rear lights :doh I fitted some stops for the arms, you can see it sticking up on the corner.

There was nothing to secure the Jerry cans in, so with the red truck setup working well I copied the hinged latch design and bracket and got that made so now I can lock the Jerry cans in place for a bit of security. I can use a nut and bolt or a padlock

I had to keep on fixing this bumper. It was really not the best. Piss poor fitment with design problems that needed fixed. If you look at a previous side on photo and zoom in, you can see that the bumper comes towards the rear wheels, goes past the silver arch towards the tyre and finishes in a...

Oh yeah, the price is just full scale ridiculous. On a side note, Zac, did your brother sort his gearbox out?

Not looking at buying one, just stumbled across this :)

When I first seen it I thought, what the hell. But I think the more I look at it, the more I think I bet that looks alright in real life. Reading the advert he's really looked after it and spent some...

Anyway :augie :lol Back to that picture I said I was going to get. When the truck was in getting the alarm and imoboliser fitted, I got the electrician to do a modification. One of the issues of these engines I'm led to believe, is that the glow plugs stay on for an insane amount of un-needed...

Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one. Sooner the better I say :lol

Good lanes. On the 6th picture down, the last big picture, there is a tough section by the bridge. Did anyone attempt that or was that off piste?

Looks fantastic and cold lol, just the sort of lanes I would love to try out. Wish I could of been there, any other weekend would have been fine but that one. Although I'm not sure I would have liked camping in that temperature... Whose got the green Patrol? I know the truck. It used to be red...

Thanks Davey. I paid £495 + vat. It's quite a lot but I hope to get some back on insurance. It's a Cobra but I cant remember the model as on holiday at the moment so don't have the box in front of me. I've got the same now on both Patrols :thumbs

I heard my alarm go off once and it was so pitiful that it would be useless in an emergency. So I really wanted a proper alarm installed, so I went to a professional car alarm installer to get a Thatcham CAT 1 put in as this would also give me a separate key fob to unlock and lock all the...
