Pics of new truck

[GBV8]

Colour looks ace mate and a very nice truck over all..............especially with them original rims and big tyres.
Big rims with skinny tyres look out of place. I'd sell them.

Get that bird poo off it, I don't care if it matches the stickers!

Nice colour, remember seeing it on ebay. Was up in New-cassell, no?

Yer, Thats the one, Cost me £200 to get up there and bring it back. Will be billing insurance company though.

Bling wheels yuk....colour graphics and rest of the truck look great. Will pop down soon once the racking out of mine is done.

I hear there is a good bar opposite that zizi place in your pic...

Turned up at one awhile back..... It turned into a Billy no mates meet at a off road event.

Count me in again....I will have a bath especially this time..

Nice looking 3rd gen, mate. I see it has the same defect as mine, a bit of a gap between the front bumper and the body. I'm getting that seen to shortly, can't figure out why it's happened though. There is some room for adjustment on the bolt holes that secure the bumper, but not a lot.

Oooh, just seen your in East Grintstead so maybe not the same place, you'll have a lot more traveling to do than the rest of us, maybe somewhere in Heathfield/Uckfield area.

Was the event British Dirt by chance? I went to that, it was quite good tbh, would almost be worth buying another vehicle to compete with.

Hi Jim, I found there was quite a lot of room for adjustment of the front bumper when I did the body lift, I was surprised at how much tbh, I had a similar thing with my front bumper and on both sides (when I first undid the bolts) I found one bolt not quite as tight as the other so I guess over time it dropped.

Thanks for the info Neal, I have had a good look at the mounting brackets and bolts for the front bumper. I have loosened off the bolts and used a trolley jack to try and raise the bumper but to no avail. There just isn't enough adjustment on the mounting holes to allow the bumper to move a great deal closer to the body.

I think I will have to remove the bumper and elongate the holes to close the gap, a bit of a pain but no doubt worth it in the end.

Yep it was the dirt event I went to....it was a good laugh. Can travel to meet up anywhere in the south for chat and put faces to names etc etc.. Start a separate thread??

Yer, I had noticed the wee gap. I'll sort it when doing the body lift.

Up for a mini meet.
