Looks good m8, only single wheeler though. Nice colour, Brigg springs Nr Me @ grimsby do an upgrade kit to stop that Jumbo rear end droop when loaded. Depends on what you are carrying. All the best, may see you at Gaydon, Jumbo's are great for camping in. J.L.

Nice - so what vans for what now? The Connect become a project and the Jumbo the workhorse? Can fit the ladders inside the Jumbo I suppose?!

:lol: @ the JCB logo - I think it's a good thing you did remove that tbh as it's way too similar!

cheers for the comments guys :D the connect is still for the advertising work and day to day driving :) the jumbo is for doing a bit of maintenance on the advertising hoardings when i need bigger :lol: but mostly marquee hire for weddings shows or any events :D im lucky in that my main income(advertising) is one week on and one off! so on my off week ive always done marquee work to keep busy and have a laugh with the lads :lol: so now im starting doing a bit of my own stuff 8) ideally i wanted a drw jumbo but there rare and good ones were out of my budget :( got a bargain too this wknd a full galv 4m roofrack for £140 but dont tell anyone it came of a sphincter :lol: fits perfect though :D

cheers :D i like the way it drives seems quite smooth and plenty of power also its really good on fuel :D seems very tall geared! a bit worried about the associated problems with the 135 though :? already had a bit of a lumpy idle so ive had injectors re coded also this wknd ive done a new belt/tensioner/vac pump/water pump this was due to a sqeeky idler and old oil around vac pump so thought id do the lot! :D also took inlet manifold/intercooler/pipes/egr off cleaned them up and blocked egr off 8) but i guess thats all common to any 2.4 rwd! all running smooth now but i guess only time will tell :)

Your vans look good mate, :D I think removin the JCB logo was a good idea cos they do guard it in a serious way :!:
