Great photos guys... what sort of camera do you have?
You really seem to pick up all the "flicked-up" mud really well... nice and clear.

Nice shots, I didn't know 90's had Rover diffs at the back, I thought they'd have a Salisbury. - I learn something new everyday.

Hey Baz,

Next time you need to submit your CV I suggest that you find another career path :eek: ;)

Ouch Baz! What are your plans with the CV now? Replace or upgrade?

Martin

11th September 2006, 12:34 PM

Thanks for the pictures guys.

Looking at some of those rock ledges, I would have sworn you wouldn't get over, but how wrong I was - just shows the capability of landrovers.

Is the 90 lifted?

I have a 110 and have taken it over some big old rock ledges, but nothing quite like that - in future, maybe I won't drive round them....:eek:

Just for us not "in the know", where exactly is Appin?

Mate i haven't got $2500 to spend on CVs so i'll have to just replace, we got a second hand complete unit from a D2 with 37,000ks on it for $300 including axle, so that will have to do for now.

I had a look at Great Basin Rover in the US, which i found through Discoweb.com, they had (i thought) the CV heavy duty inner cage for $250, but it's not for a D2.

EDIT; we got a brand new unit from T.R.Spares for $440

Did I trip in Appin a few months ago, a guy from the airfield told us that Appin was closed to all 4wdriving and that they confiscate your vehicle if they catch you in there....

nothing to support this in the public domain, no signs ect ect.
still a bit of traffic out there, cars and bikes.

Redback

12th September 2006, 06:49 PM

Well the Disco is back on the road again, we picked up a new genuine complete unit, CV, axle, and hub for $440 from T.R.Spares, Land Rovers price, $1600 for the CV and axle only.

Phil and i fitted it monday afternoon, thanks again Phil :thumbsup:

Does any one have more info on this..?

Great place!

They were saying this 12 years ago when we used to go there in the Zooks.
I have never known of anyone having their vehicle confiscated for driving there.
