    Paycheck again at 71?

    A.L.F was the coolest.

    My second 89 Shortbox project

    You probably get better light output with the bigger singles than these tiny quads as well.

    Camping ain't what it used to be.

    '88 RCLB C3500 "Roscoe P. Coltrane"

    I think they should more accurately be called friction plates, so that when the bolts are tightened they help stop the bumper moving back on impact. The bolt holes are oval to allow for alignment and this allows the bumper to move when impacted on.

    Decided to build a garage. Now the fun begins.

    Don't feel bad, it's usually months between being able to spend a full day on my truck. Life just gets in the way and a year feels like it's just a week long sometimes. the main thing is keep moving forward no matter how slow, kind of like the Tortoise and the Hare.

    I have it for nearly 10 years. I have built up a stock of spare headlights so that I have them on hand when one gets broken by a rock.

    The Member Truck Thread

    Being a slightly older bloke, I always liked the raised white lettering on tires, probably a carry over from the white walled tires back in the early days.

    G'Day fellow Kiwi, that's a nice looking truck. I found with the quad headlights that I had to lower the right hand lens to keep it from blinding oncoming drivers.

    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    I have to agree with you on all 3 points. But #3 is the really important one when dealing with the first 2.

    Groaning steering (lots of creaking while turning wheel) video

    It sounds like one of the ball joints is dry to the point of seizing. It would be easy to drop the tie-rods and check whether it's steering or the upper/lower ball joints. Whatever it is it's definitely seizing and needs replacing before driving again.

    Down here, and in Aussie, we have amber turn signals that work independently of the brake/park lights. As a new vehicle it was required to meet the Aussie regulations.

    I figure that when doing a conversion there has to be a cost/labour point that has to be set so the vehicle is still affordable to a buyer.

    Congratulations on passing the test.

    Tie rod ball joint question.

    Keep in mind that the passenger side rides on a much rougher section of road than the drivers so you can expect anything on that side to wear out sooner. It's the passenger side that rides on the edge of the tar-seal where it meets the gravel etc.

    My retired neighbour told me he loves hearing my truck start up and drive off at 6:00 am, but his wife doesn't share his enthusiasm. :waytogo:

    We use the term "bull bar" as well for a solid front bumper in case of hitting stray stock on the road. A "brush guard" is a lightweight version for when pushing through scrub and keeping it out of the radiator.
