The brain damage was there before that

front diff and rear diff both lost alot if teeth off the ring gear and and a drivers side cv at the same time
although i think the rear lost the teeth trying to drive it in 2wd out of calabash and had to put it into 4wd a few times and deal with the grinding and cracking to get it the rest of the way out.

Roled the 4 Runer, drov it home..just.

...then this one time, at LCMP, I put this big nasty scratch down the side of my family wagon from some terrible lantana, ohh it made a terrible scratching noise...

and then this other time my wipers didn't work...

snapped my whole rear diff in half at menai, was right in the middle near prado hill. rang my mate (mechanic) asked him to go grab a diff for me, (it was a saturday morning) and then come out to menai, out he came in his 80s, jacked the old girl up whacked the new diff in and drove home.

Glad I didn't buy that housing

I went on a trip years ago to Gembrook and there was a guy there with a rented brand new V6 FourRunner. He was trying it out to see if he wanted to buy one. We came to a boghole, deep on the right hand side shallow on the left. We sent a couple of cars thru, most went shallow a couple of the uilt ones went right and struggled. So it was his go and we thought we better give a quick lesson, "Go left nice and gentle don't hit too hard and you'll be right"

I have seen mud racers take more gentle starts. Flat out into the right hand side. Vroom click. Hydrauliced engine up to the windows in the boghole. Couldn't open the doors so had to go out the window over the roof and out.

To cut a long story short. $14 000 worth of damage to the car. New engine and gearbox and panel damage to the roof, door and front fender. Lesson learned I think

Playing in the mud at Black Duck, blew the centre diff to bits in my Rangie(forgot to lock centre diff). I had the rear diff welded which at the same time twisted the splines off both rear axils.
While driveng home (3hrs normally) schrapnel went through transfer case and killed it to.

i done that too(in the same spot) in my old silver coily.it sucks you under
QUICK.

that pictues also up on the wall at the shell at rainbow

your famous

Nice Ruff

I had a dude camping with us only 5 mins from those rocks 2 months ago doin donuts flat out in his grand vitara, brand spanking with 450 km's on it. Not even worn in!

As they say it's all fun and games till your clutch goes BOOM on the waterline at incoming tide

The dude with him ran bout 5 k's back to camp so my mate could tow him back, he was so rooted all he could do was wave his arms

Anywho car towed to nearest Suzi dealer who left it in the shop full of sand for 2 weeks and THEN refused to fix it under warranty.
Cost him bout a grand all up i think and would have started the gremlin so he got the shites and sold it.

What's really funny is now he drives a Telstar

3.5 Rolls

bottom of porters/cranstons I rolled a bundera (22R, nissan EFI, 2" lift, 31's) into the creek, which was flooded at the time. all doors bashed in, wouldn't open. windows wouldn't go down, I broke the handle off trying to wind the window down, it moved about 2" than I slammed it down the rest of the way, it's amazing what you can do when there's water coming up around your chest and rising fast - had to get the Missus out too, she was not impressed. oy yeah. September. 8pm. cold. wet. unfun.

it was winched out of the creek, I went back the next day with carby, manifold, oils, battery, etc, sort of got it running but in the end it was winched/towed out. efi pumps aren't much good for feeding carbies.

second rollover in 9 months, mister NRMA was not impressed.

I was out playing just the other day and busted my front High pinion diff (parts of the crown wheel had busted threw the housing ) to get my self back to civilization i HAD (please note HAD TO!!!) to drive threw these rocks in 2wd and as a result i blew the REAR diff aswell!

.......... pics??

javascript:emoticon(':P') so once both diffs were blown, how did you get out?
