Parking problems

[Shayne]

I can't shift quotes from the other thread i seemed to have hijacked so yeah here's the evidence .

Initial review swmbo says my truck knocks spots off the 80 and its also too posh for a ruffian like me , she took it to work twice and has been driving my 90 since . Personally i can see the potential for me developing a good relationship with it on condition i chuck at least another 5 grand at it , and that's being optimistic .

I like the look of those rear lights Shayne, where did you get them from?

 

[Shayne]

The best colour

Wrong gearbox though ....

 

[nick_the_fish]

Like black trucks by any chance @Shayne

 

[Gary820]

Runs wrong fuel too

What's the plans for it then @Shayne ?

 

[Shayne]

They sell other colours nick

And no this one has a gearbox instead of a go pedal

Basic outline is 4 inch lift 35's and some rust protection underneath Gary , it will evolve of course but for now i think i just need to drive it and let things fail repairing as and when , the trouble is that its great so long as i don't drive my truck for a few days for comparison , but then i won't click with it until as the mrs likes to say -

"i put my stamp on it"

Good to see you stuck with a proper gearbox Shayne, and your trade mark colour.

It does look small next to the 90 though

And, at least it doesn’t have any doors missing...

Have you tried putting your 32 1/4 tyres on it yet?

 

[MarkW]

Very good point Clive

Be fair Nick, weren’t they 32 & 3/8ths?

 

[fbnss]

I cant really remember other than they were smaller than my "pram" wheels.

Are you a funeral director shayne?

Let us know when you get bored changing gear in nearly 3 tonnes of truck

 

[Beau]

You do realise black is the hardest colour to keep clean right

Nice rigs, the 80 looks tiny in comparison to your 90 though!

 

[Gary820]

Can't beat a black fleet

It looks nice and shiny mate.
4" and 35's will look good.

I imagine it'll be a very different drive compared to the others, more agricultural too.
