If it was only a broken axle, I think they would have simply removed the rear axles & tail shaft, locked the centre diff & drove on front axle.
Surely it must have been more serious than just a broken axle to warrant going to that extent.

Best guess - failed wheel bearing, broken studs, or broken stub axle and no spares.

I love the sound of it idling at Start, it has a real nice beat to it.

I reckon his mates at the Truck Stop would snigger & point before ****ing in their Hard Yakka Stubbies.

That County, it looks like,may have broken the axle housing,so it was removed?
A few in Tojo's have done something similar on the same road.

What is the betting one or both of the women thought of the idea to get them all out of the **** as the blokes were coming up with some expensive & typically foolhardy ideas.

I can just imagine the conversations.
