    Three broken toyo's in one day!!!!!

    Hi, Just back from a club trip to Ophir near Orange with the local club and the Dubbo club. On the hill shown in my pic, above a hilux busted a front axle and he doesn't even have lockers then an 80 series cruiser broke his rear drive shaft and an old 350 powered shorty sheared a rear drive flange stud. On the next little hill climb the rest let go and his axle was spat like a dummy!! How much damage to my Landie? None. But it did have to work pretty hard pulling the now front wheel drive 80 series back to the road.
    I don't know if the 80 series was worth recovering but you do these things for the less fortunate don't you !
    Had a great day, Steve.

    No pics unless I can get them off other blokes, The missus won't let me take the digi camera bush, she reckons I'll brake the flamin' thing. It is Japanese so she might have a point!

    Good to hear, the misfortune of the Toyota set is so bitter sweet

    I had to rescue a Toyota at Levuka last weekend after it got into a bit of a pickle on a track he shouldn't have attempted especially with road bias tyres and no diff locks.

    Shame you couldn't get any photographic evidence

    We upgraded our old digital (only 2mp) so the old one now lives in the car... just in case!

    I moved a motion at my club meeting tonight that this hill be known forever more as "Toyota Hill" as it has now claimed 5 Toyota drive trains on club trips. The motion was reluctantly carried. I'm hoping to get pics soon!
