Like what you've done there Well done

Thanks for that link, it makes interesting reading

Degsy Thanks for the recommendation. Checking their web site Morris Lubricants do this AG90 Gear Oil Link Cheers Vulture

Guys, a supplemental question on the subject of Axle and Gearbox Fluids, what type of oils are you using ? I've had this Gear Oil 80W/90 GL4 from Halfords recommended as fit-for-purpose Link. Thoughts ? Kind regards to all Vulture

Deadline I see what you mean ! They were getting quite excited about it at the time. Vulture

Jessie Thanks for taking the time to take and post the photos. Although I'm not a Jeep owner myself, it's is very interesting watching the progress you are making Kind regards Vulture

A nice sunny morning here in Cambridgeshire as well Although, like you Ferrettkitt, decorating is on the agenda

I have a Samsung with 3Mobile at the moment, and the contract will be up in a month or so. Seriously thinking about an iPhone, but.... the exam question is, "is it worth the extra £5 or 10 a month over an Android phone". Your thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers Vulture

Welcome along Toby

Good idea Lauren, I second that suggestion

N.O.S. Right at the moment I'm undecided :undecided:. Time permitting this coming weekend I need to dig all the bows out of the garage, and do a proper survey on them. I pulled out my least favourite one this morning, for these photos: The corrosion is nothing remotely serious, and looks worse on the photo than it really is. What isn't nice is the way this bolt has been forced part-way in by one of the previous owners, then just left ! :shocked::banghead: . Its going to be a right bugger to get out ! Vulture

Here's a photo of one of the rear tyres I was telling you about. All 4 on the rear are the same. You can clearly see the area getting worn by the road, and the element which isn't...

Crippy Spoke to him yesterday as planned. His Dodge is currently immobile in its lair, so getting the measurements taken is not feasible at the moment. Hope John Denny can help. Cheers Vulture

The voices, the voices, the voices !!! They keep telling me I should be getting another !!!! :shake: LOL [video=youtube_share;7IHyJeZOxf4]

Guys, this chap has a lot of trucks in his collection... :nut: [video=youtube_share;NenoQBFwdTM]http://youtu.be/NenoQBFwdTM

Great vid ! Thanks for sharing

:thanx:for all the ideas, information and links guys . Much appreciated Vulture

Still chewing on whether to go to War In Peace... The expense in Petrol is giving me pause for thought though :shocked::angry:argh: Will the bike be ready for then ? Vulture

As a Yorkshire lad born and bred, stuck down south I do miss the rolling hills. That said Cambridgeshire does have some advantages: the road network is generally quite good with lots of them quite straight, its not over-populated/too built up, its the dryest county in UK, and most of it is pretty flat. This latter element I'm finding to be quite a good thing in my GMC. Dragging 4.5 (metric) tonnes around with only 90bhp means the slightest hill is a bit of a challenge ! LOL

Steve I might be seeing him later today, so I'll mention about this thread to him Cheers Ian

Wow, what a small world we live in ! If your down this way again Ron, drop by for a cuppa Kind regards Vulture

Your Jeep will be feeling all unloved with all the attention the bike is getting ! LOL

Crippy, we have a member of our MVT Area club who lives close to Huntingdon who has a Dodge WC63. Is that too far away ? Kind regards Vulture

Chewing on this further, looking in the manual it only gives the one pressure 55lb all round (page 370 of TM9-801). It makes no mention of whether the vehicle is loaded or unloaded. Therefore it could be assumed/construed to that avoid issues such as tyre-wall damage/failure the 55lb would have been set by definition to cover vehicle operations when fully loaded which on a 352b1 is 9,167lb + 5,000lb = 14,167lb. Taking a step back for a moment, and looking in the manual which comes with your normal car, it normally gives pressures for the front and back (which are frequently different) and gives figures for normal operations, and also when fully heavily loaded. The latter always being higher than for the former. This thinking is further supported by the 1lb extra for each 1,000lb overload referred to earlier in this thread. If you follow the rationale that the 55lb is for fully loaded, then running the vehicle when it is 35% lighter (i.e. at 9,167lb) surely means by definition the tyres would have to be over-inflated ? An interesting follow on question is what pressure should the front be set at ? Given the vehicle weight distribution it could be argued that the rear tyres are disproportionately affected by variations in the overall vehicle weight, although not exclusively so… Kind regards to all Vulture

Hey N.O.S. come on now, front up, what are you running yours at ? :-) Kind regards Vulture
