I actually think there is always multiple things wrong with your SJ Twiss!!!

Can't work it out? Either too much right foot all the time or poor maintenance :hahaha:

I think its a combination of too much right foot all the time and buying unknown condition parts!
I got the gearbox as my other one was really noisy after 6 years of abuse... So I got this one off some guy for £30.

... and I just seem to have an uncanny ability to break diffs ...

i think the volume of the exhaust may have something to do with it

Worst case if the rear diff pops or something Jordi is bringing a welded one I think!
Will make it more capable but will make the drive home rather interesting

Woohoo! After much wounding with parts suppliers I have managed to get a local garage to get me the right brake pads this afternoon to pick up on my way home form work!

On top of that my new U-bolts arrived too.

One step closer to being ready for the weekend.

It's going to be a long night! :weld:
