You’re t-case is leaking? From the rear output or what?

Front output shaft. Believe the seal requires the box to be pulled apart.

Today's the day. Mates dropped off the Allied Savannahs today for fitment on my BFGs.

Times like this I wish I had a ute.

Local tyre shop hoked me up.
55 comes back from the shop next week. You'll get to see her sitting pretty in about 7 days.

Until then I'm going to be turning my secondary fuel tank into a Water Tank. Paint stripped and repainted.

HJ55VT Finally sorted the @allied.wheels Machined Savannahs -0 offset on some BF KM2s. Can't wait to drive this thing on the weekend. 55 looks flash now.
Slight issue with offset but nothing a small Spacer can't fix.

And we're on. Slightly smokey but running.
Really need to put the exhaust on.

Thank you sir. They'll be fixed permanently after it's repaired and painted. Still trying to find a Turbo badge.

Few tweaks but she's purring like a John Deer tractor. Turbo noises are plenty fun. Best fun I can have without taking my pants off.

Blows a bit of white smoke on starr up but for an old motor I'll give it some grace.

They're a tie for the worst thing in the world. Right down there between people who chose to be a parking officer, and pedophiles.
