match the rest of the disco. LOL

another vote for a bombfire and through it on works a treat good for a wind up too if you have recently bought stuff from someone. A guy i know emailed the guy that same night that he bought front and rear bumpers for his discovery, took a photo of them basically on fire ontop of the fire and said to the guy wife not happy i bought these look what she has done! HAHAHAHA

from my view. orignal lights carling swiches are expensive and you ideally need to re wire. so why not keep the orignals? use carling for extra lighting etc that accoustic matting from exmoor is excelent but expensive.. noise killer good but not a tidy finish in comparison IMO out last matieral.. i have it... no real difference to be honest, feel more solid on the seat... i think i wouldnt bother again. I always try to keep things standard and factory. makes life so much easier if and when they fail to replace

£50 gets me 120 miles V8 3.9 90 driven like its being stolen all the time! 285/85/16 tyres... didnt think that was too bad.

My 3.9 did this that i put into the challenge truck. loss little bit of oil onto the valley gasket. thought hmmm must change that but needed the truck for an event, so i just tighterned all the inlet manifold bolts surprising how loose some where.. check it everytime i use the truck and i have even bought a new genuine valley gasket but its stopped leaking and that was 9 months ago... touch wood tighterning the bolts have sorted it.

at a guess 5 litres is there is oil in the torque converter still.. dry fill is around 8 / 9 litres i think

I wouldn't put pipes through cab as a truck cab and V8 is so warm already! Make sure your heater and the screen vents are in perfect order and steam becomes your best friend! The way I have tried to build my truck is trying to keep things as simple as possible. The more electrical goodies you have the more chance of problems can occur. I hope I have given you some more ideas but I'm sure more professional advice will be along soon.

On and for that price of the oil cooler i'd be buying the one from summit racing...... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-13700/ includes fan and all you do is buy a £10 inline fan thermostat and bingo you have a controlled fan oil cooler that comes on and off at the perfect temperature. I'm actually nearly talking myself into buying it cuz it sounds soo good. where as currently i dont know really whats going on with my gearbox oil. i hope to think if anything its over cooled........ when dropping the oil it looks ok... but who really know without fitting a temp guage to the sump..... i will do that to see how effective my cooling currently is. I just think if its good enough for whitbred then it should be good enough for me.

you wouldnt need a inline water pump at all. the current water pump is more than man enough... If you can put the rad and cooler in the back then yes you will have more room. or....... if your running 100" why not move engine and box back? so many options.. make your mind up and run with it..

standard viscous fan... work well when in good order but in water and the likes could cause problems, in theory they shouldnt. so ifffffffff your keeping a viscous and i presume you have the cowing still in there too??? you MIGHT be able to fit a oil cooler like mine behind the rad and let the viscous pull the air through.. i would say when the viscous is working hard it will pull enought air through.. at a guess. the summit racing opion is a cost. but you could hide that at the rear (if your truck cab) or somewhere under the bonnet out the way. i would personally got for this one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-13700/ and buy the optional inline thermostat control. this will easily sort it out for you and you wouldnt need to worry about it. but it comes at a cost. there are other options out there i believe devon use Lamanova Coolers.. which might also be a option. as this cools the oils system using the water from the rad..... so many options..... life eh!

or somethin like this for your gearbox? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BMM-70298/?rtype=10&mitem=1&page=1

doesnt mention which v8 your running. so at a guess. i would remove the engine oil cooler and concentrate on water cooling. use the 2.5 rad and splash / spend high on some very decent fans twin fans keep an eye on temp and if your struggling get a bigger (V8 90) rad. then buy a oil cooler for the gearbox from whitbred or someone and put this either infront or behind the rad and make sure your push or pull fans pull air through both rads. I know Malcom at whit bred has it behind his rad (to stop it getting blocked with carp) and uses push fans and he has had no problem at all so connot see you having any neither. I run with twin fans sucking through my rad with the auto box cooler on the outside and seems to work very well on my 3.9 see pic from when i was building the truck then i have two big kenlows on the inside "sucking" air through.. .

Would gear oil do the same? 80/90 or even thicker?

i think loud tyres are a good thing, children get out the way as do small fury animals. but i suppose the law is backwards in its thinking. lets make 2 / 3 ton vehicles so quiet that noone hears them coming and then get knocked down by them...... then we can introduce lower speed limits and waste even more tax payers money..... so whats next? oiless engines just in case they leak?

Just goes to show, alot of hard work, a product that does exactly what it should do gets you places in life... credit to your hard work! nice one!

Long as its less than 3k and matches that of the gigglepin you'll be onto a winner!

Why Polybush? why no use genuine bushes? I much perfer Genuine bushes, and last for many many many years, the number of polybush kits i have replaced and the tube is seized solid to the bolt and having get in there with the grinder to get the off.... headache

genuine gasket every time, less mess, easy to remove next time!

I'm in a similar situation, was looking to replace my jungle trekkers as they are 1/4 - 1/2 worn, but decided (at the minute) to keep them as there is nothing out there without spending MEGGA bucks from america..... your options are that i can find are 35 new style mud from BFG, Maxxis mudzilla's or creepies 35 or 37 inch, then you have your american stuff..... Reading a fair bit around and Jim from gigglepin was very positive about the silver line tyres and like you mention there no longer made but he said they were only 33 / 34 inch tyre. so why not go for something like a 285 /75 tyre like a Insa. they measuer around the same and cheap. this gives you the time at little expense to see if simex or another company or someone sells sencond had the ideal tyre you want?

i could get them collected for you and stored, i usually go to hull (mother lives there) every couple of months and then travel to lacaster / liverpool area. if that helps?

no exactly 100% above, best ring them RPi and have a chat if dont want to go the MS route.

or spend the extra cash on megaquirt then do it yourself..

Rpi, i have their ecu chip etc....... http://www.v8engines.com/
