Just to change the subject back to quarries, we have them underground round here as well. Now you can get back on with the trip

Hey guys,

Just waiting on F ing parts still!!

I'm hoping that everything should be here by Thursday morning, that will give me two nights to put the front axle back on, SPOA the rear axle, change master cylinder, rear disc conversion, and then hope everything works and no other parts break

I'm optimistic though. I'm 110% up for going and 95% sure I'll have everything back together!

Regarding camping issues, I would have said everyone would be welcome to drive into and camp in my field as it's reasonably central to the area we'll be driving. Unfortunately I have plans for Saturday night so maybe next time.

Ahhh that sucks waiting for parts!
Hopefully you will get what you need mate, althougt that is a reasonable amount of things to work on!!!

[NylonAdmiral]

Thanks! Yeah, I realise I'm going to be pushing it in two evenings!

I also just realised that I need to modify the front tie rod and Z-arm for the increased width of the new samurai axles.

I think Thursday and Friday might be two all-nighters!

I expect I'll also be on here frantically trying to get spares for anything else that gets broken during the process!

The annoying thing is the whole thing would have been back together and running ages ago if people who sell parts were capable of picking the right part off the shelf and putting that part in the post. It turns out that a lot of people seem to find that particularly challenging!

dunks hoping to get the MOT sorted on the jimny in two weeks - then i can join in the fun please - wagtail cant come soon enough i need mud!!!

[andyrew]

Sorry dudes. Im not going to make it

I've been buzzing around everywhere trying to get the lwb done. But im just a few days short

My trusty little tin top has been working her arse and loaded to the hilt with parts.

Jordi kindly offered me bitch seat. But it seems that all the
Hauling my little tin top has done the past fortnight has taken its toll on
The old girl and shes developed some rather unpleasant drive train noises\ vvibration
So it seems im going to be a busy boy for the next couple of weeks.

But it's not too long till wagtail.

[twiss]

Shame you can't make it but wagtail definite takes precedence!!

[Jordi]

Oil seal done! Rear diff oil seal to do apparently. Seen as the mud was damp.

Plan. Pack my Zuk on thursday night and have it in the garage ready to go. My Dad is dropping Navara and trailer round thursday too.

Friday morning as early as possible load the Zuk onto the trailer (not loading it thursday as an area near my house has turned into baghdad and i don't want anything nicking). Throw all the spares in the back. Run down to Andys collect lore bits for everyone and on to Dans!

Do Twiss' diff. Have a beer or two!

[twiss]

Im getting some strange vibrations coming from the back so I may strip the axle out tomorrow and check it out. Think its due an oil change anyway!
UJs have a small amount of play so I'm packing spare props!

Things Im worried about are my rear diff vibes and my gearbox which may grenade itself
I'll make sure I bring my AA card

[turbo-tom]

Splash of petrol might help as well Twiss.
