Now then hereby hangs (another) tale of my own stupidity.

One plastic enclosure created in the hangar to spray up with clear coat. I had read that I ought to ground the tub before spraying it to ensure it does not become statically charged and attract dust.

So I did.

I failed to take into account however that I had just constructed a plastic enclosure which was, by now, statically (+ve) charged. So when I earthed the tub inside it I actually created a dust magnet......... the thing was COVERED in dust :oops:

Anyway 'tis all sorted now. Looks superb.

Barbies had a face lift.

Still got to finish installing the winch, make a skid plate to go under it and maybe a light bar, but shes looking mean!

looks good chris

number plate looks a bit exposed, ours broke because it was sitting about 3mm below the steelwork. Is there anything behind the bottom edge of it :?:

Dodster · « **Reply #132 on:** September 26, 2006, 05:48:32 PM »

Nice one Chris...

chrisjones · « **Reply #133 on:** September 26, 2006, 07:33:08 PM »

Another phat phux triumph. :wink:

Thanks guys.

The number plate is temporary. I'll probably get a motor bike style one to fit to the grill, or a stick on one for where the jeep badge is.

Perhaps the lardy spent a lot of time going backwards :lol:

chrisjones · « **Reply #140 on:** September 27, 2006, 12:21:39 PM »

They're on the right way round for a Jeep.

As Matt says, maybe his were on the right way for a Lardie. :lol:

Yeah got me one like that :roll: ........ By the way are your Recip tyres on the right way round ? was following a lardy at Abingdon that had the chevrons pointing the other way.? He said he has them on the right way round, couldn't see any direction arrow though as they where covered in mud.

Looking good though

Some folks run one axle's tyres facing forward and the other axle backwards, supposely giving traction in both directions.

Your having a laugh Manda !

Manda · « **Reply #144 on:** September 27, 2006, 07:52:26 PM »

No! God's honest truth!! :lol:

the tread should always push the mud out to get to terra firma underneath... interstingly, on sand / volcano dust, you have it pulling inso that to the middle to run on a compressed surface.

You'd know that if you drove a tractor

greggmo · « **Reply #146 on:** September 27, 2006, 08:17:12 PM »

yup i have seen it done with directional tires just to give an equal forwar and reverse traction. sounds mad but by all accounts it does work.

isle of man · « **Reply #147 on:** September 27, 2006, 08:41:26 PM »

yes it's true seen it many times...............
