Whats the WORST trail breakage you have had!

[Surfin Alec]

The last time I tackled Porters Rd in my old FJ55 (33"'s, locked, small lift and a 253). I drowned it in one of the holes at the bottom. Didn't have my clutch cover on. So nothin but 1st low and slow or it would just spin after that.
Then I managed to rip the sills open on the rock you had to drive over half way along the bottom.
After that , on the exit hill I launched over a boulder near the top, landed on another boulder which had a disagreement with the rear tail shaft (2 pieces now) and tore all the bolts off the rear axel bar 1. Starting to get dark also.
I managed to convinse the old man to crawl under the house, find my old spare shaft and deliver it at Porters Rd. A lot of hand winching to get the spare shaft in and manage to screw in a spare bolt in the axel and I got out of there after 9pm. We started at 9am.

Gotta luv having an old bus you dont care if you dent or break.

hee hee some of those mud holes at the bottom of cranstons/porters were classics. once put a sierra (2" body lift, 31's, rear lockright) into one of them and for a few seconds it was floating...swimming...sinking...underwater. it would have been the drive of the century if it had got through. but it didn't.

what about your axle down cabbage tree? or broken shackles at menai? or busted tailgate down winchbreak? in fact, shannon, can you name a time you didn't break something on the trail??

At least I can name every single dent from a trail... Mr i think i'll roll into a tree up cabbage tree, spend an hr in extraction and emerge without a dent... I raise my fist at the, Bundy driver

you also forgot the rear quater pannels out at Jacksons

it was only 40 minutes for the recovery and there is a little bend in the gutter and the paint is wiped off :P

how long before matty rolls his freshly sprung-over 75? ;)

That i don't know. But one thing that is for sure is the right way up it doesn't attract all that much attention from the constabulary
