Don't think it's been lifted, it's a standard/stock truck that we had in the States for quite a few years.
Only went over for holidays etc but it was good to have our own truck over there.
Then Covid and not allowed in for almost two years, so brought everything back in a 40 foot Container- lock, stock and barrel + Pick up!!
We had some great times in it over there, and now want to have more with it over here!!

Not really, just want to get it back on the road after two years and drive it, and to use it to tow my covered eco car transporter trailer. (Ginetta G27 road/race car - for Sprints etc.).
The paint on the truck is peeling a bit in places - not a real problem in Florida where it was always garaged, but will have to keep an eye on it here!!

Front brakes on dacia duster DOH. Pads come away from metal plate. We hurd knocking on front on fount this great waiting on parts now.
Thats unusualy to happen. Do you tihnk it was badly made or excess heat somehow screwed with the bonding?

Not unusual seen it alot. Twice on the car remember the rear brakes. Think it's wear the car sits fir long periods and rust sets in the rear caliper on van had seized. And parts are cheaply made now as well. Pads for duster 26quid.
When reversing the trans am onto the drive a few days ago. I heard a knock on full lock. so wanted to get under the car and check the k-member and all other associated parts are tight, and nothing has come loose.
There is a thick plastic guard that does around the drivers side track rod end. On full locks this was getting stuck. Maybe what i felt.
It was good to get under the car. The red Camaro can be seen under the tyre. I'll get back onto that one day.

One day lol it like tomorrow... Tomorrow never comes as they say 
Ordered some oil from Opie Oils, the SOLENTR discount code still gives us 10%
Ordered 20 litre barell as its a little cheaper than buying 4x5litres cans. I'm always going to use it. Currently keep topping up every 100 miles with about 1/2 litre. Once the camaro is moved I'll take a look at the rear main seal. Also need to do an oil change too. I have filters etc...

Here we go again dad said he had knocking on front of his car. Top mount bearings knacked drop links starting to go on 1 strut very easy to push down so waiting on new parts ready to fit. So all the old parts now removed ready.
Great photos. You look like you have been busy. Does he drive cars like a rally driver? He seems to be keeping you busy with issues on his vehicles.
