Thanks guys.
I really am made up that the viscous fan has fixed the overheating issue! LJ is once again a complete pleasure to drive!
The video is good but I really wish she hadnt zoomed out quite so much as its not very clear how much I'm lifting wheels coming up that rocky hill!

I did spot that on the website for the truck mudflaps that they are a bit different to how I'm going to do mine but I wondered if thats partly maybe because there designed to be universal and obviously not all trucks will have a smooth straight piece of metal directly behind the rear wheels at the perfect height.
I think the way I'm going to do it should work, and the mud flaps should merely flex and maybe flap slightly as I'm going along, thats if the magnets are strong enough.
The only issue I can see with this idea is after I've been driving some extreme tracks and the rear bar has been dragged into banks and is covered in mud it might need scraping off with a stick/wiping clean first before I can stick the mud flaps on.
Tonight I want to get the fridge slide and water can holder bolted down ready for the trip.
After the 2 trips that are coming up I want to modify the back door to take the gas stove and repair the rust.
I also want to design and build a 3 battery tray for under the bonnet.
Then totally rewire the car and get the electrics 100% perfect. Working for Piranha means I can get everything I need including mountains of wire in every color possible so I can make a really good loom.
Then I want to get all the body work done and the whole truck re-sprayed.
I also need to get and fit new shocks all round and look at changing the front springs.
I want to build a roof rack and buy and awning for the side and one for the back of the truck.
A new set of 35" x 12.5 x 15 BFG KM2's
And my OZ Tent Bunker tent and a hammock.
I'd also like to make an internal roll cage.
Ideally all that before the Simpson trip in September. But I've also got heaps of work to do on Michaels house to cover the rent and possibly a trip to Europe in July/August!
Going to be a busy year!
Oh almost forgot...........................
We should hopefully be picking Frankenzuke up from the paint shop this morning!
I'm so excited cant wait to see how its turned out, then theres the exciting bit of adding all the finishing touches and making the front bar.
