| removed the tow bar, took the side steps off, cranked the torsion bars up 2" in front, ordered a bodylift kit and some 50mm spring spacers to lift the suspension. Had a dig round in the scrap to find some steel for my sliders and found some MTs online for £50 each I will get some clearance on it if it kills me | |

| started on the bodylift today, have got 10 of the spacers in so far. what an absolute pig of a job mam helped by squealing everytime the jack moved, the truck sqeaked and telling me off everytime i swore. The dogs helped by running off with the bits everytime I put them down . The truck didnt help at all and fought it every step of the way. I got so fed up with it in the end I grabbed the one plank of wood and threw it halfway up the field I think I ought to put in for the olympic hammer throwing | |

its a 2" lift kit. I dunno if youre a membr of pocuk, but a fella on there makes em and thats where I got the bits from. No need to alter anything like rad height, brake pipes etc unless you go over 3" body lift. shes already had 2" torsion bar crank on the front, and Ive got 50mm coil spacers on order, and need to get some +2" shocks to go on the front or she'll be back to being nose down again and look kinda gay I wound her up so much in front shes already on the bump stops getting a set of 235/85/16 muds off a fella on here which will send her up another 2" or so . at the moment shes got titchy small road tyres on and looks just silly | |

| Took the bumper off and cut it so the steering guard would fit. Cleaned the intercooler and radiator (probably why it was overheating cos it was full of crap) fitted bumper and steering guard. Need to cut more of the bumper to fit the bullbars.

| we had a standard paj with road tyres out with us last night. he put the modded trucks to shame! flew up the steps and the steep side of the bombhole without a problem - and some other dude had to winch his lifted disco up there! it was our fellas first time ever out laning too. he'd never even taken it off tarmac before last night. Kudos to him I say!!! That fella's got balls! | |
