Great pics Anderzander. I'll be up in a couple of weeks
-
More like his boyfriend
-
I missed it due to Mothering Sunday obligations
Think I'll try and get to the next one later this year.
-
Me too. They look great fun!

Woah! that's a REALLY big dog you've got!!
-
glad you got it sorted and thanks for the tip, defo something to look out for
-
I've got my socket set, spanners, screwdrivers, a hammer, a hacksaw, grease gun and grease all in my truck. Just in case
Truth is, I've got nowhere else to put them
-
sounds like a great event, I hope I manage to make it
-
First I've heard of it so I google'd it and it looks cracking. Not sure if I have plans for that weekend but if I haven't I will take a trip down and have a wander about.
PS if you are like me and haven't heard of this before, here's the link:

I think if I have to replace mine at some point in the future I'll replace the housing at the same time. I'm not sure what a 15 tonne press is but it sounds like some industrial equipment
I don't even own a vice

found this page while doing some research, though it might make you smile
-
some people on that forum you've linked seem to think its a great idea to go up and down the lane despite the seasonal restriction being replaced by a full tro.
no wonder people hate greenlaners
Edit: changed to read 'some people'

thanks reb, I don't have a problem at the moment but have seen a lot on here about needing to change the a-frame ball joint so I thought I'd ask while the topic was up.
how do I tell play from any movement it is supposed to have?
-
Many thanks chaps, good stuff as always. I think I'll have a look at mine at the weekend, now I know what I'm looking for.
Cheers

While we are on the subject, can someone explain to me what exactly the A-Frame ball joint does and what it is I'm looking at in the top picture.
Is it hard to change the ball joint or the housing and joint together and do you need any special tools?
Many thanks

Mine rattles a bit sometimes when I start up but nothing like what it seems yours is doing. Mine is a Defender 200Tdi though, and the original engine for the truck. I would be interested to know if this makes a difference.
What oil do you have in the engine?
-
or try Lancaster. I had my renewal through in January and it only went up by £20.00
not good I know, but better than most it seems.

Nige, I've only just come across this thread! What a mother*@!*!ng BADBOY!!
sick with jealousy pal.

Chaps, I've bought a load of this roof flashing and I'm a bit concerned about the weight. Isn't all this lead going to make my truck a bit heavy?
Thanks
John

As Dave says, it will be harder to pull away but you will be able to cruise at higher speeds with lower revs, although the difference won't be too noticeable unless you go up in size by a significant amount. Your mileage reading will be incorrect too.
Be wary of cracks in your side wall, I had some on some old tyres and one of them disintegrated while travelling at 40 mph. It wasn't fun.

Good stuff Anderzander, chuffed for you!
Look forward to seeing a few more Anderzander greenlaning pics soon

Hi and welcome to the forum! Nice truck too!
I ask the most daft questions on here cause I'm useless and everyone is very helpful and accomodating so don't worry about asking something that you may think is a stupid question. The search facility is pretty useful too and most subjects have been covered before so it's always having a quick search if you need a quick answer.
The tech section is ace too for when you are doing home repairs and servicing.

Nearly losing an eye to a bungee cord is somewhere on the forum already!
Dangerous bloody things. I still use them, just a bit more thoughtfully.
Oooh! Thanks for the stark warning, I sue bungee cords very often but never really considered the dangers!
Africa (south bits) or South America. Where to first ?

I wasn't going to vote for anything other than Africa really was I
