MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

Yeah Rapid Fix is pretty good but not this good. The point load would be Massive.

I have taken it to Brett at 4Wd Obsession yesterday and he will see about getting it revelled and back braced for me.

Should be back together in a couple of weeks

How much is just that housing worth if you can buy it on its own???

I think you should invest in one of those PTO winches seeing as you broke the high mount lol.

Yeah I will see how it welds up. I think it was the lack of back bracing of the housing at that point. If you look at the front bracing going to the point of mounting you can see its all about the front.

Brett will sort out some better bracing in there and it should repair up fine.

With the amount of mud everywhere else it would be interesting to see how much mud has built up in your bellhousing

Yeah I don't think I want to know!! I fitted a new clutch to this car when I first bought it for the RWC in 2003 and have flogged the clutch ever since! Astounded it is still strong! Touch wood damn it!!

I wonder how much all the mud weighs ???

Mate all this work for a little splash in a puddy muddle..... ??

The last time I did this track it caused me to do the strip down at the front of this build thread and 2 years off the road!! I am coming up to 6 months since this trip this time! Bloody Feral Mate!!

hahaha, yeh I was very surprised of the amount that was in mine when I rebuild the gearbox, mud is evil and as much as I loved playing in it my bank account isn't big enough to keep repairing things

Hell yeah Bog a holes Cost money!!! It's like sitting in quick sand and spinning you wheels in $50 notes!

Replaced my share of Alternators, aircon compressors, water pump, starter motor, etc etc!! Every item there is over $500 damn it!

Mud sux!!

yep, there is a place about half hour drive from here referred 2 as the DropZone, Its military land and has a fair few tracks with bog holes, there could be no rain for months but this place will still have bog holes Should see the place after a week or so of rain

Yep I used to think mud was awesome..... deep down I still do but nothing better than climbing a steep as rocky hill!

[MudRunnerTD]

I'd prefer to do an extreme technical drive over a winch exercise every day!
