Well after owning my Bighorn for nearly four years the tin worm finally got the better of it and after numerous repairs it was time for it to go and have a well earned rest.

I loved my 3.1 and spent quite a bit of time and money on her over the years.

Here is the latest pic of her

With many thanks to Simon (Boyddean) i now own a 3.0 Citation.

Right where do i start with the mods Laughing

Changing the injectors ... best mod ever for a 3.0 Very Happy

Nah honestly she looks good. I would probably go for wheels and tyres first. For some reason those originals look a bit small compared to your 3.1.

Oh and your yellow diamond Wink

First stage underway, rear door ladder fitted and batteries upgraded for winch, needed doing anyway so got it out the way Very Happy

Tomorrow i'm doing lift spacers(will be ok for now until i decided another route +2" shocks etc) and swapping wheels over.
If i get time between the Mrs dragging me shopping and the footy on tv i may get my bright orange fuel tank guard swapped over as well Very Happy

Then Saturday its inside time, i'll be fitting CB etc. Very Happy

If weather then permits i'll be fitting my winch on Sunday and Monday. Ive only had it a year, wonder if the warranty is from date of purchase or date of first use Laughing

I'll put some pics up as i go. Wink
