also FJ40 exploded left front cv goop and metal bits filled hub

Got a wheel alighnment done went for a play broke my headlight then fixed it. Steering didn't feel right had a look and the wheel alighnment guys hadn't tightened up one of the top arm bolts when they were correcting the camber. So one bolt stripped of thread and the other badly bent all fixed and ready to go now

Had a great day with Auckland 4wd Club in Waiuku Forest then drowned Jeep due to brake failure. Not good. Refer to posting under Jeeps.

where did you manage to drown a jeep in the Waiuku Forest, in all these year to have missed a pond of that size, oh unless you drove into the fire pond at the lookout

No it was the next day helping out a stranded boat - Long Story short - Boat had flat battery in river so we pulled it to the ramp and I drove down the ramp to get closer to boat and well......... the rest is history but my son who is 9 leapt out the back of the jeep and chucked the tow strop over my rear hook and ran up to a pole and stopped it going all the way in - Yes he is a legend & yes I am proud.
