Peter.... Tell us a bit more about this pic.... itsalwaysthemods.JPG ...... I'm trying to figure out what happened??

Cedric the shackle reversed. In other words, the suspension extended on a bump, and when it compressed again, the shackle pivoted backwards instead of forwards. The result of this is that it firstly bends the main spring blade, and secondly it stops against the chassis and limits suspension travel, which would soon break that main spring blade.

The reason for this happening (and thus my caption) is that the spring pack was bent in order to lift the suspension, which effectively makes the distance between the two shackles too short.

Great photographs, guys! Once again, mine are not the greatest (lack of photographic talent, I am afraid), but nevertheless, here are a few of my favourites:


Grant's beautiful Y60 in a pastoral setting


Patrol's wherever you look!


Have you ever seen this many Patrols in one spot?


On the escarpment


Winding up the mountain


Rock hopping Safari


Jules' Y60 climbing


Thys' ZD30 powered Y61 in the same spot


Donald's mighty TB48DE powered Y61 flexing a little


A fantastic sight: Y60 framed by bush


Chuck Norris on the way down


Balele at the bottom


Patrols swarming over the hills


Grant's Y60 again, this time with Helshoogte looming in the background


Some Y60 flex


Helshoogte being vanquished yet again


How'd Thabbies manage to lift it so high?


Forming up...


... and almost there


Coming down the mountain


Patrols outlining the ridge


First timer Pieter having his baptism of fire in the tunnel


Down the tunnel


Blue sky, beautiful mountain and Patrol


Heinz going up the step


Y60 Bling


Grant jumps the step


Hill descent using the buddy system


Andrew's Y61 parked on its wheel (Root cause seemed to be an aftermarket installer mistake )


The sad result

Great Pics,




Some news on Andrew's Troll. It is back at the installer and they are busy repairing the damage. He should have it back in a week or two. Many of us did not know that the troll has a different hub set up to all most all other vehicles. The only way we learn is from our mistakes, so I presume we have all learnt a lesson from this.
