Gee.... Thanks!
My hart missed a few beats when I saw your pics.
(Clamping that heavy duty's and lifting the Disco almost threw the porch roof isn't easy)
Nice job on the panhard bar!

Default Spacer correction, fuel filter and safari cut.

Busy day with the Green Machine yesterday!

Removed the old fuel filter which I suspect has been causing some issues, replaced with the Atlantic British kit which was surprisingly easy, despite being a bit of a bugger getting the clamp bolt on. Not a terrible job though, fully advise it to beginners who might think its a bit much.

While I was at, I corrected some of the bolts on the rear Bulldog hubcentric spacer, for some reason some of the bolts had come loose which was a surprise so re-torqued everything which corrected my highway wobble, for now, need to get some loctite.

Also took a grinder to my back fenders and whipped off a few inches on each side, might need more but it least it will stop catching on my 265/75/16 Mudders when I back out my driveway, will likely be a different story on the trail.

For good measure I also fitted my hood-mount for the Firestik and CB, still need to feed it through the firewall, another time.

Finished up with a MAF/Throttle-body and Idle Control Valve clean, all in all, a good day and off to hit the trails with my 5 year old in tow...should be interesting.
