I hate it with the roof up though - it really bugs me that the door tops are a different colour to the roof. I really need a new roof to match but that's almost impossible to get.

haha i did get more detailing stuff :p it was at craigavon civic centre.

Been tweaking a few things on the cummins, i changed the ARB setup on the rear too allow more unrestricted travel and ive added wiring for a dash cam in the roof. Im toying with changing the tyres possibly, the roads are taking their toll on the MT's so ill have too look into that soon.

Havent really got any pictures unfortunately.

Is that Mittens place?

Looks right at home in that setting, just needs to be towing a bowser and have a few spare screen meshes strapped to the roof and it would be perfect! :joy:

Getting around to the 130 a few things have been happening this month, It Snowed so there the mandatory snow pic, but also with the cold dark weather ive been noticing belt squeel becoming more of an annoyance as ive the heater and all the lights on alot more so i set about changing that with another idler in the system to increase belt wrap on the alternator pulley.

I fabricated a bracket below the alternator and used a 200tdi spare tensioner i had for the 110 as an idler. worked out well and the squeel is well reduced.

I played in the snow alot when we had it, apart from the belt there was nothing much else id change the dodge got a healthy coating too but hopefully ill get back into that when its a bit warmer

The dodge belongs to a friend of mine im doing some work on it.
Its getting a full rebuild. chassis and suspension all stripped to bare metal painted and rebuilt. 5.9 cummins 24v with the plans to achieve around 600hp, I might make a thread for it. Waiting on some massive injectors for it from the states. and a few other bits to get it going.

The Dodge looks great, I would rather have it to a LR.
