tore out the steering and even damaged the calmini upper A arm and bent the shock..I suspect the A arm wasn't going to last too long anyway looking at that.

went for a cruise. out mangaweka/taihape ways.
attempted kaweka rd but got a bit confused about the direction and the mrs wasn't happy about where I was thinking to go (didn't have maps on me) so turned back. turns out I was going the right way. hahah
then cruised up ridge rd south.
jokers that live at the end of ridge rd reckoned there was an impassable slip but i didn't see it!
nice 2wd road at this time of year. didn't even need to put me jandals on to open the gates that the mrs couldn't.

Best part is the old spare wheel carrier nuts are there still. Nothing a chain and a tractor can't fix :mrgreen:
