Re: Raider's Shear Misfortune

The only time I have had issues is with an old Tyre left in the sun and then being refitted to wear it out.
It started to tear off knobs on the sun affected side of the Tyre.
It did not get as bad tearing of knobs as Raider on his D606.

Re: Some unfinished business...

More unfinished business to come by the looks of the Spot tracker.
They left the CSR around well 4 and headed out to the road.
So they have still to do 4-Wiluna.

Re: The 27 / 73 outback fuel mix...

I reckon either Mr BMW assist or Mr RAC Ultimate +. OH for bike that dosen't have a brain that is that fussy about what it is digesting. May have been able to drain and refuel then go again like in the olden days. Now you will have to psychoanalysis with a computer to try and bring it back to a norm...

Re: CANNING STOCK ROUTE 1983: Fremantle 2020 Adventure Film

This will be an amazing insight in to the CSR. I did it in a HJ45 Landcruiser about 1 month before the Powell brothers. It is very interesting to see the change in the CSR due to the very high level of traffic over the years. Also the development of reliable water points along the track, back then i...

Back safe tonight from DR2019.

Re: New Year's Resolution

Sad story for the Dmax
You could get a used axle from a wrecker and fit that to get the Dmax out of there.
Unbolt tail shaft, axle mounts and brake lines and then fit the used unit and bleed brakes.
Depends how committed they are to keeping the vehicle or writing it off.
