Had a good day out, busted another shaft but what the heck, this is me after that event in all my glory pushing a wall of thick mud, or I should say pulling

but around 3.15 we went into a seemingly easy area and sank, had 8 inches of muddy water in the motor and no easy way of getting to walkable ground, winch was under water, I was on the bonnet with strap from the external roll cage to allow me to reach the winch control, while Sarah was out putting strop round a tree (she had wellys on that got her to dry land) must admit to getting a bit concerned as site closes at 4pm and we had a lot of area to cover, but a quad bike came to help and chose the best routes out, (well done that man) bearing in mind I did not have my normal 4 wheel ability, and we were loaded and readu to depart at just after 4, so all in all a great day, and have to say Sarah was top notch as always, as well as picture taker, Rick

yes front as usual, they cannot put up with the Lokka and the maf amp and spinning in free air then contacting ground again, I tried to back the loud pedal at the right time but think my reactions are slowing so I say what the f, do it anyway, point is we had a cracking day, that is all that matters, Rick

shame you may not be there, as for choosing a T2, well when banger racing my daughter had a number of discos etc and the problems she had with all were far too much, we were not particularly looking for a 4 x 4 at the time I was towing my car trailer with a Citroen Xzantia, but front wheel drive = problems but we managed, then my wife saw this motor local so we looked and fell in love with it but as it was petrol joined this forum for info as there was non to be had elsewhere, so here I am, Rick

I'm surprised actually that no one has fabricated a heavy duty front diff or similar :nenau

it is not the diff that is the problem it is the drive shafts and couplings that are just not up to the job, but to be fair they were not designed to do the sort of stuff I do, Rick
