Boy's Off Roading In Sth Wales - The Aftermath!

[yoshie]

Did you see the pics from last weekend, 35 trucks turned up, not bad for our first day event of the year. Nearly a dozen regulars missing including you, lazy arse.

Who was the guy on here had a BJ fail recently, ripping the front wheel off his truck?

You're thinking of this one that I fixed for Lawsys mate (can't remember his forum name, )....

Did you see the comp in Col Glen in June that we are running. Teams of two trucks. My wee toy truck needs another toy truck to team up with. Alans surf is to big. You fancy a weekend on Dunoon in June?

I'll say yes, but will need to confirm once I know the dates.

I am well aware of that. He still has a fuced diff thou.

He may have a burst diff; but he definitely has gubbed lower balljoints.

Thanks for this pal. I will be ordering new ones first thing in the morning.
I'm scared of getting them from Milners now (15 mins from me) but need it asap!

And, well, re the diff, god knows!

Thanks for the help, sarcasm was greatly appreciated! ;-)

I don't care.
He has the opinions, he can do as he pleases with them.

I just tend to agree with Vince, based on the fact that I spend hours and hours in and around trucks doing what he did at the weekend.

No, there was another one recently. Happened on tarmac but at low speed - thankfully!

Eeeek!...

I tend agree with him too, it probably is the diff, but it could be driveshafts too? He does say the front prop will turn freely for 3-5 turns then 'grip' for half a turn, that could be a CV joint binding.

I'll never again (on here) make a conclusive diagnosis without seeing the truck or a picture of the broken bits.

Cripps corner is 10 miles out in the boonies, but frenz bar is in the new town...



But I am 40 not 14....

What time are you playing?

Other(good) bars are available for the imbibing of beverage

[BUSHWHACKER]

Eeeek!...

Thats what the fella who runs the off roading where we went said he thought it was, however this was only after me telling him somethin was broken and explaining what was/wasnt happening. No inspection at all, and he is not a Surf man.
I've made a few enquiries about a new diff, and will try draining it and see what happens. Is there an easy way of doing this? I will also be buying new BJ's tomo morning.
