I hope he does DIY it himself though as will be great knowlegde and the savings should be handsome :nenau

Looked fun but I'm not sure I'd have the bottle to take mine now.

I have to ask, why was Bigbunny making like Zebedee?

Not if I stuff something up though

I'm looking at all the options but remember bro not all of us have a workshop at our house where we can work on things every night or leave the truck dismantled for weeks on end (because I wouldn't be rushing this one) :nenau

However I do it I'm not rushing it. The other option I have is a secondhand box and then recondition the original one at my leisure...

To be fair, she's getting a decent shakedown which is good as I want to do a big overlander into mainland Europe in the next few years.

If the shocker can extend further than the length of the spring then the spring goes bye-bye :lol That's why people have spring locators fitted. I reckon that's what happened, showing ofc wasn't he :lol:lol

Looked superb and plenty big enough lanes for the big ass Trols there. Got to be one for the future...

Out of interest, what Aussie technique for the auto box were you doing Rob?

Driving through the brakes. Great for steep downhill descents.

You left foot brake just enough so the Trol rolls to a stop. Leave your left foot where it is then increase the revs with your right to overcome the force from the brakes. Gives you lots of control over your descent speed (just lift your foot of the throttle to slow down). Also, as the brakes are now the overriding force on the diffs it fools them into equalising the power across the wheels, basically giving you locked diffs.

Downside is it works the box a bit so things start to heat up and it shouldn't be used for an extended period. I wasn't thinking and overused it which boiled the fluid and a clutch pack :doh
