Default My new Terry

Picked up this bad boy about 4 weeks ago. Ex police FSH and minor surface rust on chassis and couple of spots on coach work. Booked in for full under seal next week.
Took a gamble and hopped on a train to Brentwood (4 hours) to get it but I've been further in pursuit of a good one.
Running original ford maverick alloy wheels which i had powder coated with Maxxis Bighorns. They came off my 1st maverick (2.4 petrol 180,000 miles before death) and then on to my next which was a diesel and now on my Terrano.

Interested in running wheel spacers to improve the look but have read mixed reviews about them re excess wear on bearings.

Usual stuff with worn clevis pin on clutch pedal but easy fix with 10mm copper pipe cut and slid over pin, plenty of grease. I think the holes had worn to the right size for pipe (handy!) but will do proper repair later.
Didnt come with roof rails but got a set from Nis spec 1st for £70ish not too bad to fit apart from rear mounts which took a bit of persuading to get in.
Any advice or ideas welcome though not looking to do serious off roading as it is also my work truck.
Cheers

Couldnt see anything on the paperwork but seems to pull way better in 3rd and 4th then takes off in 5th compared to my last one.
Also rear drum brakes look way bigger than my last plus have full restraint for middle rear passenger mounted in the roof.
Nice little bonus' from plod, thanks! although there are a few extra holes and clips in the interior trim.

Paid £1800 for it, checked previous mot's online for rust issues and none ever mentioned.
Just needed new glow plugs to sort white smoke on start up then full fluids and filters change plus ancillary belts. Bargain!!!

Welcome aboard, you've bought well and joined the right forum. Sounds like you know your way around a truck too. Some great how to guides in the downloads section.

Looks great, black and white contrast really well. Imo wheel spacers are ok, I will be getting some for mine, loads of people run different offset wheels with no probs, wheel spacers only do the same thing. Welcome aboard mate, just watch out for barrbeast, he's really gay

Welcome, I think it looks great in white, must be quire rare.

I would however really really really really really recommend not getting spacers, just get a few extra quid together if possible and get some nice negative offset black steel wheels and it would transform the look, only about £50 each

Hi and welcome. Looks like a lovely truck
You could buy a set of negative offset wheels for a little less than a set of well made spacers.
