Bumbling Brian's Botching Station..

Sweeeeeet!

While I remember.... This is where I put my CB.

This is on a steering column bracket.

 

[britrb]

That looks like something even I could do.. Think I'll wait till I get the front bumper sorted though as I want to bung the antenna on the bracket thingy on the bullbar.

Yup. :naughty

Finally got round to updating the firmware on the Pioneer SPH-120DA head unit (giggity), and solving the Bluetooth audio problem. It was nothing to do with the firmware, I had to disconnect my iPod to allow the Bluetooth to work.

So instead of an iPod for stored music I'm now using a 128GB USB stick formatted to FAT32 (You have to use a separate app from Windows disk management to do that on higher than 4GB capacity USB sticks - MiniTool Partition Wizard works great, and it's free!)

Also for the sake of compatibility I converted all my audio to MP3 using Fre:AC Audio Converter (also free) which converts pretty much everything audio, and will do it for as many files as you want.

Head unit (giggity) is now working the way I want it to! Nothing else to report, it's work work work at the moment. Haven't had a day off, or a beer in a couple of weeks, so in lieu of any truck pics, here's a picture of a zombie bunny eating my brain...

Passed a milestone today.. The 100000th milestone!!

Happy 100K Day truck!

YAY! :clap

How are you getting on with the recovery boards?

I've been looking at them and I think it looks like you made a good choice taking everything into account.

Just slightly worried about the length of them or I don't know if your picture is just deceiving.

If the boards were up against and lined up against the back door would they stick up above the roof?

Thanks

 

[britrb]

Put it this way, they are in the back of the car now - rear passenger footwell - and there is about 5" to spare with them pushed up against the far door.

Hope this helps.

 

[Mr K]

So is that width ways?

Have you needed to use them yet?

 

[britrb]

Yes, width ways. Haven't had to use them yet, with those tractor tyres on its a bit hard to get stuck!

 

[Mr K]

:lol

Thanks Brian

 

[britrb]

That's tree-mendious work Brian.
I mean, you had to move it. You couldn't leaf it there:hide:

How long do you think before we get sycamore bad puns?

 

[Lazy-Ferret]

Groan.... I think it should be called "the day I took a Heavy Plant for a walk"...

By the way, where and what is that wonderful castle?

 

[Blocky10]

Oak kay oak kay. Fur goodness sake

Would that be like turning over another leaf :doh

Of course it was good of him not to leaf it there blocking the track.
