this is what happens when your going down a steep tight rocky muddy lane and your axle mounts have rusted from the inside, had top drive is about 1/4 of a mile down the track to get onto the road, dragging the rear axle, was scary, still drove off the recovery truck onto the drive. replacement axle, prop and shocks, brake pipe and its fixed no other damage atall. Was only held on by one very bent shock, both radious arms have snapped off, one shock mount, by the time id got down the rest of the lane lol.

Well, if you're in the US it's really not a big deal. Check out ih8mud.com, lots of info and 40's for sale there. BTW. I love the King of the Hammers picture. That's really high up my "want to go there once" list! Yeah I know, there's tons of the things down here in AZ. Just got a zuk instead... ih8mud's a fun forum to loiter on... I've done KOH twice now, and I spend the rest of the time thinking about going again... Amazing week in the desert!

Yep, I've linked the pic to the story, it's the second time it's been up there loving this ^! the local ramblers are getting in a right old fizz about this! moaning about the cost of moving it (again) funy how they forget the cost of using Helicopters to ferry tonnes and tonnes of rock Up the mountain every year to replace what their dainty booties have eroded/displaced!! Bloody Ramblers, like Scramblers but without the engine! haha

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.
