Well I have to be first to say nice truck.

Here's a little bit of it at play.

 

[bj42turbo]

This is how it was not long after i got it about 11years ago, mainly used for camping touring etc...

Then I joined 3rdRock4x4 club (no longer a member) and met a few nice people who encouraged me and I learned a lot from in terms of mods to do and driving style. So the truck got used more for fun but suffered a lot of panel damage which was part of the fun

My first entry level comp where I came first in my class

I'll take you for a spin in a real Turbo soon

BJ's lockers were a steal and he got easy terms on them, but soon learned they came at a price.

The front is actually a Roberts Locker which ARB bought the rights to and has an external air cylinder to actuate it. The rear is a early 4 bolt ARB.

Both are over 10 years old and fully operational.

Looks like a lasting relationship, Nice ride!

Its been a testing relationship today , whilest replacing the tie rod ends and putting on my Angry tyres the left hand front hub was moving around way to much, turned out that the bottom Knucle bearing had colapsed and also chewed out the part it sits on. SO its sitting in the naughty corner now.

Cool rig, althou it seems she gets tired easily, and like to lay done every now an again. Did you fit the Turbo?

Mate, I think i have well and truly over used your spare parts shed and your assistance. Just ordered the parts, I am getting better at this mechanical stuff since your BJ42 pull apart classes
