I snapped a Old Man Emu shock thinking I was a rally driver so after a few phone calls and Big thanks goes out to ARB Gimpy because they got the new shock to me the same day I rang.

After fixing the front end I thought Id'e give it a bit of a stretch just to make sure everything is still OK.

Nice photos, were those girls peeking under your GV after you crossed the creek with you or just having a perve?

Also, how did you snap an OME shock? Are you maxing or botteming them out somehow? Cause I can't see how they'd break otherwise, unless they are faulty.

Being 1000Km away from home I decided to be a rally driver on the way back from one of the lakes. Coming around a right hand corner way to hot I hit a tree root about say 2 gutters high and I just heard this god all mighty thud and that was it. It made this knocking noise all the way back to Eurong. When I got out and looked at it, the front left tyre was lent all they way over like it had heaps of negative camber.

On Wednesday after having a photo shoot with Brendan from Australian 4WD Action, I decided to play around in this great 4WD park he took me to. So what do you think happened, that's right, I cracked and smashed my front Diff. to pieces.

Post by **kottunmewth** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:01 am

OOOOUUUUCCCHHH that had to hert.Guess you had to much fun.Well out comes the wrenches.

Shoot use details when your done wiping away the tears on what you think caused the catastrophe so I mite be able to prevent that kind of carnage on mine.

Its not having fun till you break something..... have a good day and a better weak.[/b]
