Er... nope! I thought this was a laning trip, not the bleeding Camel Trophy revisited!
I won't be able to afford any diff guards or steering guard, plan z (have we had 25 plans previously in this epic trip?) I guess, would be for me to wuss out and get to the exit point of the rough stuff via metalled roads, or helicopter support
:lol:

Sorted that bit at least - Toyo Open Country A/Ts - even got a second spare that matches (18") with a brand new one on. My other spare is a 16" with a Goodyear Eagle (a/t type) on it - same overall rolling diameter

I'm aware that the D2 can raise its arse up in the air a little to help ......
No doubt there'll be **** taking if he busts a diff pan but my welder is always on standby so he's more than welcome to fix the axle the next morning
Only when I get it's arse airbourne over a sleeping policeman or other such humps - coil conversion
Ta for repair offer - fingers crossed.
As you might have guessed, I'm replying to posts as I find them when catching up on the entire thread. :monitor_punch:

Have you flown collective pitch R/C helis before?
(my Raptor 30 in the pics)I'd love to get a PPLH (private pilot's licence, helicopter) but I'd need far, far too much cash. Don't want to train in the little RobinsonR22 or 44s - no... proper heli for me - Bell JetRanger - turbine power something which gives you at least one second reaction time to enter autorotation if the engine fails..unlike the R22 - no energy in those rotors :bowl:
I digress...

As below
Will sort that when I stop welding!
If weather is decent ie no ice then I'll run them if not we'll bypass for safety

With all due respect, I will have to refuse your request to have a go.

I has no intention of damaging mine.........however I predict at least one rear half shaft and a couple of scratches
and a twisted chassis from the immense amount of torque produced by the mahoosively awesome V8

I'm adding a couple of braces! Hopefully it'll be alright if not theres an excuse to make a 5mm galved one with a built in cage on the front
