Had the Rangie out to day on a mates property and hit a rather immovable object in long grass at 60 kmh It was bad, The rangie bounced up and went side ways. we hit the roof and my tool box cleared the rear seat. I wont mention what happened to the beers
Now has clunk clunk noise in the front. About to take some measurements as concerned the chassis may be bent. The gaps look OK so I may be lucky. Stuffed an alloy rim


It was an out of use 6" steel cased water bore. Moved it 3" or more I wish people would mark hazards out sometimes The diff housing appears to be straight and tail shafts seem OK

I'm now bloody sore so it hit hard.

I'll put it up on stands tomorrow and have a good look wile in motion.

Well, it wasn't straight the next day in good daylight!

I took my rover diff/axle shrine pile off to the scrappers, when scrap metal hit $350/ton but I did get a pretty penny for it
