I tried the old jump up and down on the bumperetts trick and it actually moves instead of just sitting there rock solid.
What have you done to or with your LWT today??

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

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.

Re: What have you done to or with your LWT today??
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.
So she's starting to come together as a nice little truck , still lots of fettling to keep me busy though
