Haven't had a chance to test ride them yet Jim. By the time I'd cleared the tools away, I'd run out of light. Hopefully give her a good run out tomorrow :)

I tried the old jump up and down on the bumperetts trick and it actually moves instead of just sitting there rock solid.

Looks a much better height Rich. If you ever get lined up with others again you should stick out like a sore thumb height wise.

Wotcha Tricky...superb improvement dude...remember they are handed so check from behind if the motor sits straight..don't tighten anything til you've run it round the yard a bit....nice one.

Cheers brothers! So took her out for a spin and its a 10x better ride. Much more planted, and I don't have to grit my teeth every time I see a bump or pothole!

Also took on board what Sid said about taking slack out of the steering box.. It only needed about an eighth of a turn, but another small improvement in the handling. :mrgreen:

So she's starting to come together as a nice little truck , still lots of fettling to keep me busy though :!
