Never got a photo unfortunately but on the way home from a hunt on Friday we encountered a Safari on the side of the road with the left rear hub sitting on the ground and the wheel lying next to it. No one around so we drove down the road towards the closest phone coverage and found the owner. Luckily he was able to renew his AA membership over the phone and get a tow truck on the way. We drove him back to his vehicle and left him with the hope the tow truck would eventually arrive.
Broke the axle? That's not easy on those, good effort if so.
Was that at Sanson reckon I saw that on Monday.
did it say
"WARNING, HIGH WINDS" ?
That won't buff out..,Quote:

Well I guess that's good then. The unicorn child in me says damn though, I'd still want to see the CCTV footage of that unfolding if it was real!Quote:

fark that one makes my bum pucker (having tipped one over) poor bugger looks to have got over too far into verge and outside wheels have sunk????? did truck stay upright???
The good old shoulder collapse...
There was a bit about it on the telly last night.
Its an alternative route with the main route closed since the cyclone.
Locals are all saying the route is not fit for purpose.
Apparently the road collapsed underneath the truck

That one on tv in my district its hardly fit for a car. Its narrow with logging trucks running on it, all good if you have a rt and trucks are using them. The bluff this council have closed is a joke. the 500m road under the bluff ok been put back in since cyclone but there is now cracks in the bluff above. Get in there and blow it.Quote:

@Micky Duck truck stayed up right, he had only loaded 200m up the road. Shoulder might have collapsed but plenty of road on the left hand side:)Quote:

I heard tell of a certain driver trainer who stopped on verge for a pee,and trailer did same and ended up in ditch...apparently he was out of truck,member in hand as it slowly tipped...... you just gots to laugh.
I thought trailer would have to be checked over before been towed out off town? lucky if he was going 30km
@kukuwai the bluff our council want fix is above the digger in video.

a visual on towing eye....and drive slowly.... empty its not a huge weight so little to go wrong if towing hitch stays intact.... pretty sure it WILL be getting a good going over once back into a workshop.Quote:

Water table saturated. Lack of water table maintenance with cut outs to keep drained by the looks of things
[QUOTE=XR500;1500223]looks like it, another thing to consider is just because there metal there now doesn't mean there is suppose to be, years of graders cutting and pushing the metal out onto the grass verge means it metal on top of mud basically no solid structural basecorse like there is on most metal roadsQuote:

You can take your ranger to water but you can't make it drink.......
Joke on me... Thought diff was locked..... Fortunately out after a tug from a mate and all is well. Even had to recover him on the way back ��
Attachment 235455
Oops... I did that though, put the little 4wd truck's PTO into gear rather than the diff lock. Some idiot put the buttons back into the dash and swapped them over - the diff lock had the two gears meshed of the PTO system and the PTO had the gear with the lock symbol inside it from the difflock. That was a trap for young players!Quote:

Yes, the electronic diff lock only engages in 4L mode on mine - I think it's due to the fact that it's only suitable for low speed use being a braking operation and at 90Km/H it might produce some unusual effects haha. Bit hard on gear...Quote:

That's one of the 'hard surfaces' to work with, an older non-electronic 4x4 is easier in that condition set as you don't have so much a fear of drowning the thing if you hit a wall of water and send a plug up somewhere!
Thanks for that, was in 4H when I went in. Shows I need to know the vehicle modes a bit better.
It should buff out?

Yes, they do love playing that game in the steep stuff:o
