Snow here too :-)

Yer spot on, good footage mate
-
Good way to do it. The Mrs comes with me which can be fun! 😂
-
Really good mate, a good use of equipment. A1 👍🏻👍🏻
-
Nice one Paul I totally agree, we may not have everything in life but whilst we are here we might as well enjoy it! 😊
-
Are you Australian hamdogg??😂
-
Does all this stuff go dry or does it stay sticky for good? Just thinking for future maintenance. Can you do inside wheel arches and inside doors and stuff too?
-
Ok spray it is then, is there a pump up kit you get or just use an aerosol type thing? I don't have a powerful compressor and don't want to spend loads on buying the gear.
-
Not bothered either way if it can painted in it may be easier? Presume a good steam clean first in in order? Do you scrape off surface rust first with wire brush or similar or do you just fire it on?
-
I agree with the above post, it's a great looking truck but if it's not working for you then it's time to sell, I saw a 4x4 canter tipper at merc commercial dealer in Carlisle it was massive!
-
Just about to do the ranger as its getting a few crusty bits under it. Has anyone done it before? I can imagine it being a mucky job but any tips? Cheers
-
Cheers
-
As above can anyone recommend a good form for work in Stockport? Cheers
-
Was under the pick up today and the tub is a bit tatty can't really be welded and needs replacing, was wondering if anyone has ever fitted a tipper body or drop side body to a double cab if so has anyone got pictures? Cheers
-
Measured it up and taking into account wheel arches and slight slope on the back where the tailgate extension finishes its around 2.5 cube
-
Yer, I think they are a great tool. Use mine loads too!
-
One day!....am saving!
-
Yer about 3 cube. Cheers for the tip I'll try it cheers. It takes 4 minutes to empty it with the shovel.
-
It doesn't hold loads but for the average job it's fine, it handles the weight fine also, it's a compromise for having a 4x4 for sure but i can live with it. A good network of chip sites helps!!
-
Bugger that!!
-
Yer your right they are hard to beat! Unfortunately the cost of buying one is too!!!
-
Bet you were sick to be doing it twice!! They get well used though!!
-
Can't remember the exact bill pound for pound but it was 300 quid more to have a new box from ford/Mazda rather than a recon from Ivor searle. So that made it slightly more than it needed to be.
-
Just been reading some bits of the Land Rover appreciation thread, I am sharing the pain after I have just had to shell out 3k plus for a new gearbox, clutch, flywheel and other bits and bobs on my ranger!! She gets a hard life pulling trailers and carting chip about here and there. Never mind I feel slightly better to hear I am not alone on excessively high vehicle repair costs. What's the biggest bill your truck has had??
-
It most certainly does, that would be quite a weight when full of chip!!
