Fitted a stainless steel rear bumper to my Challenger yesterday, to replace the black original equipment under body one . First thing I've done to the truck and was pleasantly surprised how solid all the fitments were. Might have to buy a heftier toolkit though

Next on the agenda is a reversing camera so I don't have to keep asking the Mrs to jump out and see me back at Tescos. Today it's a good clean and polish before settling down to watch Grand Prix qualifying

Yes Ron, Nick said to move it back a tad as he had the same issue. I've sussed the canopy changing issues, all you need is rope, a big snatch block, a quad, and a 70ft pine tree!
oh , and a ladder!

Went over to see marf at lutterworth. He fitted rear sensors for me and an external power supply in the rear pick up flat back bit. He tried to upgrade my central locking to be remote locking but apparently the kit is faulty....Bummer!!...... First time ive met him. Top bloke.

busy day today had enough of l200s.
had to put a engine back into one in work i took out last week, i got mine motd in work got a pass =]
got home replaced my ider arm and arb bushes.
what a basterd them outter bushes are they dont line up at all. couldnt undo the drop link bolts need more extensions lol

TOP TIP: when changing the outter arb bushes you will notice they are miles out and look like they will never fit.
#lube it up, line it up, get it close as poss.
#get a g-clamp or long nose mole grips like i used.
#hook the bush clamp/shell/case whatever, line it up and you will have a short bolt and mine were like 1"+ away from meeting.(never gonna start the bolt.)
# clamp the bush clamp with your molegrips, leave it for a minute, release them tighten them up then clamp it again, repeat this step till the holes line up good enough but you will still have a massive gap.
#get a long m8 bolt and start it and pull the clamp all the way home. now get your vise grips and clamp it shut.
#remove the long m8 bolt as its held shut by the molegrips and fit the proper one that came out, job done.
hope this may help someone.
