My two sons had some photos from a trip to Robe SA back in 2011 framed for me for Christmas. I had no idea I was getting this and I love it.

It was bent. As it turned out I had crook CV joints that needed doing anyway so I did them at the same time. It was not a costly exercise.

2x rims $50 each.
1x axle housing $30
Photos of fun. Priceless.

I was on that trip with Dave.............unfortunately I missed seeing the 'launch', but I did see the :D big grin :D on his face when they returned to camp.

Tony did a great job capturing the action.........great present Dave.

Cheers, Murray

Murray was actually our trip leader for this trip. It was on a "Free" day that we had that a few of us went and had some fun.

Murray. Time for another trip there. It will be three years since the last, I love that place. I know that there is always a trip there every year but I reckon that yours is the best especially with the camp spot.

And Digger, ten points for your wit on the higher diff.

I was very close to running a Robe trip this year, but things just went another way. I will certainly let you know when we head that way again.
