At coffee last week a few of us decided to go exploring in Wittenburg on the next Saturday, which after a few dead ends and ATV trails turned into 'meh lets just do Drill Road' LOL
The old Ford was doing awesome in low range 1st gear, twisting through the very rutted and hilly terrain, loving the long wheelbase on the climbs.
At the 1/3rd way point in the trail, Dave got his right foot into a big step hill and tore the spring mount perches off his axle.
The Zuk was injured, dripping gear oil but still drive-able. The pinion was pointing skywards and the driveshaft u-joint was clicking as it over-extended. Fearing a u-joint break Dave and I turned around whilst the others continued on.
By the time Dave and I got around to the end of the trail, the boys were crawling their Yota's up the last hill climb 
Turns out Mike caved in a front fender on a tree as he slid off to the side during a climb.
