WA Powerline trip 11/08 pics and vids

are you sure that your the right person to be owning a 4wd
the gods seem to think otherwise

drowning the defender in the powerline pond
losing rear drive
losing front wheel

they all seem to have common thread they dont want you to be driving a 4wd

Blimey Jason. That sure is a run of bad luck. Did you break a rear half shaft?

I have a check list that I go through at home (mainly because of my bad memory)....for stuff to take, and vehicle checks to perform, before heading offroad....or on any long trip. Wheel nut's are one of the things I check.

All the best getting it going again mate.

Cheers
Andre

I hope 2 come out with you guys one day thanks for telling me about this site on sat morning Ken

Jesus! And I thought I was unlucky with breaking things!

update - good news is my half shafts are o.k.
bad news is my rear diff has **** itself, $1650 lighter and it's now sorted.
still in need of a wing so if anybody knows of a white disco in any wa wreckers please shout out. i'm after a front passenger to fit a series 1 97 model.
after all this i've decided to retire the disco from the ruff stuff and once all sorted will be passed into the more caring hands of claire where hopefully it will lead a more uneventful life. :(

Mate...$1650 is pretty close to the cost of a locker :eek:

What are you going to use for the rough stuff?

everything in the diff was mashed so i still needed to buy one and the fact that everytime i take it out something breaks has led me( forced me) into the retirement path
in terms of what i'm going to use in the ruff stuff - it's o.k. i'm not retiring i'm just going to buy something else.

Geez Butt
