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 _________________

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

First stage underway, rear door ladder fitted and batteries upgraded for winch, needed doing anyway so got it out the way
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
Then Saturday its inside time, i'll be fitting CB etc.
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
I'll put some pics up as i go. _________________

Welcome to the mad world of the 3.0 owners Adz
Looks like you got yourself a nice motor there , excellent colour choice I have to say
Are you sure they're side steps ? they look more like side skirts to me _________________

Been busy this morning doing a few bits to the truck, swapped wheels and tyres over and put coil spacers in.
Before
And after, also struggled with a hangover, managed to sweat it out turning the torsion bars
I'll be taking the side steps off when i'm feeling better
Oh and put ladder on as well _________________
