Tomorrow the fuel lines, tranny lines and power steer lines get connected and it’s ready for the cab, Woohoo!

I have a video of it running and it’s not noisy at all, post image doesn’t seem to have an option to post videos.
The fuel system and power steering are complete and it’s just the auto tranny pipelines that need to be completed, I’m in the process of fitting out the cab, first with the dynamite xtreme and the accessories, steering column, AC/heater, and stuff, it’s getting quite satisfying. Anyhow back to the shed.
If anyone knows how to post video images let me know, cause nuggets if I can find it.
Luvhev.

You could post the video to "YouTube" then post a link to the forum.

The link will look something like this.



Anyway enjoy the video.

Interesting seeing two pairs of rear airbags mounted on a rear pivoting arm?
