Busy on the truck for a change today, Sam whipped out the transfer box & changed both the front & rear output seals that were leaking slightly, refitted the box, just the props to go back on.
Bolted up the steering box that we rebuilt a month or so ago, delayed as we had to get some longer bolts as I had welded plate to reinforce the chassis whilst it was off ( no signs of cracking etc but belt & braces), & the originals weren’t long enough.
Refitted the dried out headlamps, hopefully they will stay that way & it was the Russian river crossings that caused the water ingress.
Had a good clean out of the intercooler fins & everything behind the grill with the air gun.
Welded up the broken off front anti roll bar mount & exhast mount & refitted the exhaust.
Replaced the front brake pads which were quite worn down, & was pleasantly surprised how even the wear on all 4 pads was.
New oils all round.
Fitted new breather catch can.
Only a few more minor bits to do now then she’s back out of the garage, will drop the 170 long range tank at a later date to fit a sender & gauge that Kingtom kindly sent me, need to make a new bash guard for it too probably out af a big lump of 8mm Ali as the existing effort took a hammering last September & has various dents gouges & splits.
Must also refit the steps to the sliders to get rid of an annoying rattle & refit the torn off mud flaps.
