Refitted the led lightbar for the winter, after the latest close sheep encounter. All good, already been 'communicating' with other drivers

Does the LED light deter them. Kind of a distance warning??

Dunno, but it seems to make their brake lights come on and smoke come from the tyres as I go past... (shrugs shooders and shakes haed)
sheep and deer stand still as it's not a surprise i'm coming

It's free meat anyhow if you have a freak encounter. Not all bad.

I'm hoping they make the difference in the sticky stuff, we'll see how they perform on the lanes of Northampton next weekend.

It's okish, I can see the back seat but I've got no view through the rear window anyway.

Re-rooted all my reverse sensor wiring and rear camera wires under the truck. Looked at the roof rack again can't decide on my approach for that one. Oh and finally got a new windscreen fitted, probably deserves a real good clean on the outside at some point.

@WelshMart have you wired it to come on with reverse? if you have no view out the back you could give it a switched feed so its on all the time giving you a rear view like you get on trucks?
also did you get rpund to fitting that boost thing after ?

@yozer13 That was what I was hoping to do but the camera has leds on it so it would be white light at the rear when not reversing.

Yes I had a go but it's far too small to use, the pipe is larger than the valve

Wel there was me getting all worried about will i wont i be able to find a wiper stalk for Jack, him being such an old timer and all that. In real life i have been over the pit today and had a proper examination. If only the wiper stalk was my main worry. Long list bushes ball joints to add to the bits that i have bougbt allready oh yes plus anchors on the front.. Is there a bigger better calliper worth puttinng onnow that I have to get them anyway

Done a full brake fluid change on the truck today along with the wife's car. While I was at it I found my front nearside slider pins were seized so whipped them out, cleaned them all up and decided to replace the pads while it was all apart.
