As for your CV's Im impressed that was a torqey front wheel hit gripping again after a bounce wasnt it..it exploded one and sheared the other..well done.
If you have the money give the Ashcrofts ago and you can be my crash test dummie for them..I carry a spare CV in my drive kit as Im expecting the worst as I enjoy my 4wheeling aswell.
Last thing your Nick.. change it to "rovercare-Less" about breaking it:D:D:D

Awww Dawg... Dont encoourage the lad! :cool:

I've been driving hard for years and yet to blow the CVs and stock front end in Lara.....

Rev Limiters and Tracks = Damage.....

Finesse is the key..... The throttle is not a Binary switch :p

More fun driving ALL day, then recovering half the day....

(all tongue in cheek...)

I don't own a 50k defender but:D although your more than welcome to come across and drive some tracks, i'll even put on the beer;) See how long your driveline lasts:eek: finesse doesn't always get you to the top:twisted:

The only time I cracked a CV (it was a lengthways crack on the housing) was yahooing about in mud. I got thrown out of a set of ruts and landed in a paralel set and thought I might bust the door open as I landed so hard. There was an almighty crack, could have been worse I guess. I drove with it for a month until the budget could cover it.

You and Walker go to the same offroad driving school? :angel::wasntme:

Love to take up the offer! Will let you know when I'm heading your way!

Interesting thread. I hear so much about weak LR drivetrains that I am in constant fear of breaking it for no good reason. It's good to see people can make them last if driven with some sympathy.

Nice signature:D

I agree with the county CV opinion. They are simply not worth the the huge amount the go for in Australia.

I bent mine in Cape York and I know a few mates have broken theirs.

Went Ashcrofts heavy duty and no damage to mine or friends so far in a year.

Does anyone sell ashcrofts in Oz?
