AND I've a saggy arse I will be sorting tomorrow if all goes well :augie:augie:augie The rear spings were what I bought off MadMark an age ago, 20% stiffer but the standard length. They've done well too

Madmark!!!! Now there's a throw back!!!!

Here's a pic of us at the Dorset Steam Fair back in 2015, back when Terrance looked a bit fresher

5 years ago!!! I know you still love the blingy chrome:lol
MadMark put his truck through some hard. External roll cage too!!
Iirc he sold it and weeks later it turned up stuck in a field dan saff somewhere?

Checked the oil lines from and to the gearbox. Checked both sides of the cooler and rad. Each time it almost filled a 1.5ltr bottle by the time I'd looked and then switched off the engine. Didn't realize it pumps so much....
Checked all fittings and ran it for a while without issue:nenau

Then moved on to address the saggy arse.
Bought a 2" lift kit from Jimnybits and fitted the rear springs and shocks. What a difference.
I'll be testing everything out tomorrow towing my caravan:thumbs
I'll fit the front shocks another day.

Mine is getting ready for new rear coils as it starting to sag on the rear end.
Got the Kit from Jimnybits in my sights also.
Just need to save up some pennies as all my spare cash has been spent on the new pup.
Was thinking of just getting the springs for now as my shocks are relatively new.

Cheers Elty. It drives nice now I'm used to it. The current tyres are 265 70 15 and measure almost 29 inch atm. I'm now saving for a pair of bfg muds as I have 2 that has a few miles left. Or if I need 4 I'll go for ATs. Plus I need a winch rope and to wire it up. Saving hard:lol

I phoned a place called Blood Red 4x4s to enquire about 2 inch lift springs. The guy I spoke to was then fitting a 2" lift kit to a terrano for a customer. He doesn't supply terrano stuff so the customer bought the kit from Milners :doh:lol
And was fitting 35s.
I told him good luck and he laughed :lol

 

[elty001]

Blood red was the place that did alot of work on Craig's (big bunnys) old terrano.
The guy who runs it is called Dave.
Never had dealings with them myself but he knows his stuff so if anyone can get 35's on a terrano it's him:thumb2

I rebuilt the front shafts a couple of weeks ago but lost a clip off the outer cv boot. I found a new replacement complete shaft on the bay for £54 delivered. Thought I'd give it a go. Looks ok so I fitted it today and I'll rebuild the other for a spare.

I fitted the front shocks I got with the procomp kit too. They haven't got covers for the shaft so water, mud and all the other nasties will sit around there and rot em out asap I reckon, so I'll look for some boots to stop that happening:thumb2

The boots help keep all that crap trapped.
TBH I've ran with and without boots and made no difference in reality.

Good to know Elty. The ones I replaced had the rigid covers which would stop some of the crap out. These have nothing.

Just for into. This front shaft is still going strong. The truck had been off the road for approx 2 years between the last post and a couple of months back….
