Hi Jon, my message was based on Alan sending the sand tracks before to five lucky people.
Speaking of the sand tracks a customer called me today who has a set, he was badly bogged recently, he said the tracks worked brilliantly, some photo's...
Awesome to see someone finally do this! I'll have to organise someone to fit one so I can go test it out along with the new and also not yet fitted winch.. haha. Too bad it's rapidly drying out over here with summer hitting hard
Btw why is the bullbar off on the bogged truck??

why was the bullbar off.
We removed the bullbar so we could use a hi lift jack directly onto the steel mount on the end of the chassis as the alloy bullbar was flexing could have broken the headlight.As you can see we had broken through the top 100mm of hard surface then it draged us of the road and came to a sudden halt.The photo with the bar off is the end of day one ,digging ,bog tracks,cutting of pine trees and winching backwards we achieved approx 25 meters. Day two another 45 meters and we were out.We were not able to enter the inside of the motorhome as it was on the verge of rolling on its side.It was very close a few times to going over.The grey slush was bottomless after cutting many pines into 2.5m lengths to lay in the quicksand like country.I got one of the pines we had cut all around 140mm diameter and pushed it straight down in the bottom of the bog hole and it went straight down until out of sight.The tracks we got from Alan worked very well,the yellow ones were strong but screwed around to much and jamed up under the truck.Need to tie 4 meters of rope to the tracks so we can find them as the soft country allowed the wheels to spear them straight down 1m/ 1.5m down.We have a quafe self locking diff centre fitted also which was a big help. The Toyo 19.5 tyres got the outer lugs torn off,we had let them down 26 psi to assist in the recovery as they were like slicks full of mud,but there is no other tyre we can buy that has the load rating with more mud style tread. It took approx 11-12 hours of winching to get this 6500kg motorhome out plus everything else.In 8.30am on sat until 7.30pm sunday what a couple of days. Now i need to get a couple extra tracks from ALAN to replace the yellow ones as we lost one and they don't work well in mud.But home safe now until the next adventure.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Once these beasts go through the crust and into the soft stuff it is a lot of work to get them back up again.
If someones got a spare front diff centre to send me i can have them made no problem.

Hi Alan:
Any idea what the shipping charge would be to the US?

Hi
I am very interested in this thread on the lockers for the FG. Has anyone fitted the assembly yet? Tested it extensively; or to some extent at least?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
