The quick repairs do help once in a while and i think that your 306 must have been a defender in it's previous life Wink Clayton.

Last Saturday Millie went in for one of her 6,000 mile services and all was ok Very Happy he put the QT diff guard back on but it was out of shape a bit, so he got it where it should be and put it on and has made it that the bolt's cant be undone by hand alone again Wink he had a good look at the bolt holes and there was no sign of wear as if the bolts had started to come loose so there is only one other way it came off Evil or Very Mad

As my birthday was in March i decided to treat my self and upgraded my speakers to these




Click image to enlarge

they replaced these old Kenwood speakers which i have had for while




Click image to enlarge

Once in a while you hope that things will go right and i thought that it would be a straight swop, no more than an hour tops, all went well with the change over and then to test them, well the 2 O/S ones were working and the 2 N/S ones were not working Rolling Eyes bang goes my theory, changed one over as the speaker might be dud one, but no it worked all ok. So what turned in to a quick ish change over turned into a long day, in fact it was over 2 days but in the end after taking everything apart to make sure all the wires were connected, i found after a process of elimination i found that one side of the speaker wires had been cut, not sure how but i have replaced the damaged bit and at the same time re-routed it as well so it does not happen again

I was one happy chappie when they were all working and WOW what a difference, so in time i will replace the dash ones as well.

A BIG thank you to MUD for the quick deliveries form the time of order Bow down

I wish i had done this earlier as i love listening to music so it's just so much better now Cool Clayton.

So it seems i'm getting like Co1 Laughing

As much as i liked the Blindo's i just thought they still looked to fancy for Millie as i kept seeing pic's of her with the modular's on, so i have been running her with the modular's back on to see if i was right




Click image to enlarge

I do think that Millie suits them being a utility landy, so i went ahead and got some new ones and on Saturday morning i went to my local ATS to get them changed over

after

The old modular's will be getting refurbed, shot blasted and then powder coated.

I'm well happy with the end result Very Happy Clayton.

That looks great. I do like a set of modulars and agree about the utility look. If you're getting the olds ones refurbed, can I suggest silver as I think that'd look really good on your truck? Darren

Just found these pic's of the idea i had to have a dry place to do the cooking on and sit down when eating when i was on the LE-JOG trip, as at the time i had a Kyham Igloo tent and these pic's are testing the system i had thought of and that is why i have the roof box in the middle to allow for the up rite supports ............................................

I was well pleased and it did the job really well and i did all the cooking on the tail board, great table Very Happy


Clayton, I've taken inspiration from your set up, needed a bit refinement which was done with a needle and thread when I got home. Laughing I've attached a loop to allow the back of the awning to be tied off on the roof rack.

You and Millie are an inspiration and just shows how long something can last if it's looked after. Bow down Craig.
