Thanks guys. Sjoe this year has just been hectic, very little time for Patrollie.
Did have some diff issues because of some over enthusiasm in the salt pans last December and some salt got in the diff.
Well some things got hot and caught fire.
So after 3 attempts from repairs to a new diff that was bent all the way to getting a casing, strengthening it and putting all the non bent parts in I know have a GU diff that is strengthened in a GQ with all the steering components including the steering box from a GU.
So I found some Quicksand in Bots
3 Toys and 1 Isuzu as anchors. 11 tons of winch was standing still.
Eventually I got out.... 10 minutes later all 4 of them got stuck at once and the only vehicle left was PATROLLIE!!!!!
35" defiantly was the advantage including weight distribution between my front and rear axles.
