    stranded 90 only drives with diff lock

    i struggled with the 14mm spanners and got the prop off, both uv joints on the prop are ok. I did notice just before it all ended badly that there was a big shake on the steering when going round the corner and there was a bit of a knock too... i'm going to attempt to drive it home tomorrow..

I need the...

    i did wonder that myself, that jack was one of 2 and axel stands, so i reccon i was safe. The problem appears to be where there have been front mudguards after the outriggers as i've had a good look over the chassis and its pretty good - its had the rear cross member changed at some point though..
