Fitted new drums and shoes and castor correction in the rear end of mine. One more thing crossed off the ever growing list of parts needed.

Looks like a disco. ^^^

Ive just installed an air locker in the rear. What a bitch that is by your self. Ended up pulling the center and doing it again because I bumped the copper line and it was rubbing on the crown wheel. :evil: Went in alright the second time.

Cheers,

Chris.

That's great that they are and to be honest I'm surprised it happened. Ultimate gear is usually very good. Still, not a good component to have fail on you.

yes, its a unusual failure, and both the importer and reseller are taking it very seriously.

despite the failure, I'm still impressed by the level of service received.

Fitted a lightbar. Pretty impressed with it. When I went from halogens to HIDs I thought that was a huge improvement, now with a lightbar, it makes the HIDs look useless.
If I had a dog that looked like him, I'd shave it's arse and make it walk backwards.
