Lockouts are freewheeling hubs... They disconnect the front wheels from the front transmission, as even when you select 2WD in a 4WD vehicle you are still pushing the front halfshafts, diff and prop shaft round up to the transfer box (in a standard 4x4 setup) which can produce quite a bit of drag. Lockouts/freewheeleing hubs stop this happening and can help with tyre wear and fuel consumption It may be a tracking caster camber issue thats highlighting the tendancy though

The Dodge did that on the front tyres before i put frewheeling hubs on... may be a 4x4 thing, something to do with the drag of the front transmission...? It stopped as soon as i put lockouts on it

Nice one... I wasn't sure how the story was going to end when i started reading it... A very pleasant surprise and a worthy donation... good work to the fella!

I think the Indiana Jones Truck was a Mercedes... which was part of the Charlie Mann Collection in Cornwall many moons ago...

Me 'n' all

Does this mean that without that unruly mop you may be able to get a tankers helmet on and look more like and armoured column and less like Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen invading the neighbours garden!

Wow nice work... keep us posted

Hi Ray welcome from down the road (Kendal)

Welcome thats quite a collection of toys when can we all come round and play?

I would've kicked you but my foot would've dropped off!

The beginning of a beautiful thing...

nah we were gonna wait till it fell down then give him your number:)

It was... and the Airforce stuff was mildly interesting too!!

at a petrol station.. yes that sounds about right itwasntmeitwassomeoneelseitwaslikethatwhenigotherenobodysawmedoityoucantproveanything

I tend not to bother with charity shops anymore to be honest Anything of any interest/age/value is usually sent to one of the charities ebay centres (most of the big high street charities have them now so the high street punters don't even get to see the donations) and most of the shops are wildly overpriced £5 for a second hand ASDA T-Shirt... I Don't think so And yes heavily reduced rates, free staff and free stock must stick in the craw of local retailers who are fighting a losing battle at the moment... Kendal... approx 45 empty shops, 3 empty pubs and more charity shops than we know what to do with!!!!

Seen a couple of RHD conversions but not seen the glove box moved to the other side!

Saw a Saladin on the bypass near Thetford today

Well horses for courses really, but yes body panels are the hard bits to find and usually expensive to source... nothing left of the original body at all? Are you sure it is in fact a command car? Not teaching you to suck eggs but at the chassis stage the differences between a C/Cae and Weapons Carrier are harder to spot...

Welcome Glynn Just down't road (Kendal) Carlisle-eh!

No I mean pics of you getting your groove on 'round the pole not snap!

yes, there are... indeed there are

And beautiful you looked in it too... I have photos to back up this statement as well!!!!

Not to mention the 'dustbin skittles' that somone was playing on sat night/ sun morning among the stalls... many bins (45 gallon drums) crushed and contents scattered all over the F**kin place... dunno what hit them but it was big
