who pinched me big wheels?

[exosteve]

I don't know many people (any) that would give there only day off work up to help me.
Elty001 has given his sunday family time up again to help me (well me help him more like) do my next stage in my all consuming all spending money taking lovely truck.

mate I will come paint the under side of your truck if you want

this forum is great and I cant wait go wales in june.

so today we had a bod over to eltys early lunch time for a couple of oatcakes and some work on my truck.
kaz your stew was to die for.but 3 dumplins that big? I could only eat 1 tennis ball size one and im still full as an egg

we did a full 4 corner lift in a day it was well dark when we finished.

my 31" tyres look like jockey wheels on a trailer now:lol

me trucks now had a 2" body lift and a 3" sus lift and 33s to come (eventualy).
got to do some steering upgades first.

33s on with a decent offset and it will be very much the best work rest and play vehicle ive had.
go anywhere,do anything car. dunno how im going get me ladders on till ive done me roof rack mod though:nenau a caravan step maybe:nenau

a few pics of today. thanks mate:thumb2

 

[exosteve]

this is beyond my ability. but elty made it look easy

V jealous! I want 33s n body lift *licks lips* :naughty

 

[exosteve]

the diff is on full droop here with the hubs on the floor. I was worried at this point

diif breather has been adjusted to suit and is new next mod to relocate to snorkel.
brake lines need replacing too

 

[exosteve]

first spring in

 

[exosteve]

upgraded bushes

 

[exosteve]

bottom bushes didn't want to play ball

 

[exosteve]

yippee

 

[exosteve]

that's pretty much as big you can go

 

[exosteve]

where are me wheels?:lol
once 33s are on it will be 6" lift

how was the hour long drive home on country lanes?
pretty cumfy. the new drop links work a treat and it behaved itself despite the raised center of gravity.
a better wider deep dish offset wheels will cure and probs there.

Would love a lift on mine but I need twice as many shocks and springs for the Trol and I've got too many other things calling for my beer tokens at the moment... in particular a DMF that looks like it's on it's way out :doh

As I've said a to you many times I enjoy working on these trucks and I have done this quite a few times now so getting the hang of it:lol
Was straight forward enough with no problems.
New poly bushes where tight to re fit on the shocks but other than that it was plain sailing.
Kids and wife's enjoyed their time together so all is good:thumbs
Got plenty of that stew left so guess what I am having for my dinner:lol
Need to get out on a few lanes and test that flex.

 

[exosteve]

hanley bud.

why not come laning with us next time we go?

 

[firebobby]

Looks like you need man steps now :lol:lol

 

[saggyknackersack]

hanley bud.

when would that be? Having major shoulder surgery tomorrow so won't be able to use the truck for about 12 weeks so the bride takes charge of it from tomorrow. :doh
