and send some to Bec for the magazine

[Miraz]

We only took a couple, but someone has to start the ball rolling....

[JK_Dolf]

I got a couple of half decent ones... number plates blurred to protect the innocent!

Some great shots there. Looks like a GREAT turn out.

[MRGC]

Looks like a great turnout, good to see WJ there I feel bad now letting the team down hopefully next time.

I dropped my Jeep of this morning at the Stealership as it is impossible to drive in the wet, it looks like the front diff has damaged the spider gears and every now and again it binds up, makeing it like a locked diff. Not a lot of fun on the rain on slippery roads, especially when the alignement is out at the nanny computer is disabled.....made for lots of fun on the way to the dealer this morning though, no traction control, random steering, wet roads, heavy right foot.....

I'll let everyone know what I broke this trip when i hear back from the stealership later today....should be warranty again (hopefully)

is it just me, or is every JK that breaks also a CRD?
i dont hear about a lot of breakages from the petrol owners.

[Steve F]

Petrol owners buy the Rubicon maybe? CRD runs the D30 front end.

So sounds like it was more than just the swaybar banging on the coils, I guess when it's intermittent it's hard to diagnose.

Cheers

the CRD's put out more torque than the petrol motor... might be pushing the D30 past its capabilities?

sucks that your jeep is in the workshop again Greg.
Hope its out soon.

[Miraz]

I think this is the case - remember that the CRD is offered with the D44 as an option.

I managed to grab a JK D44 axle off ebay locally earlier in the year, so I will have a spare D30 if Greg's repair starts to look expensive.
