Bugger - Blew the Transfer and rear right Axle

[SteveandViv]

After all these years - with all the stuff we have done it's bloody annoying to blow up the transfer case and rear right CV and Axle doing nothing but travelling on our way to holidays. Bugger 

Oh well, off to the wreckers we go, sh1t nothing in Broome so off to find-a-part I go. Can get both for 1K from Melbourne which is good and have the means to change myself so that's OK but still - bit of a sh1t.

Hey Steve.  If there's anything I can do to help with the parts in Melbourne, let me know.

i know how you feel with the holiday thing...many years ago we left Brisbane headed for Canarvon Gorge and only made it to Toowoomba before the rear diff decided it's bearings had reached the end of their lifespan (the diff always had a bit of a whine about it for years). I tried getting the vehicle repaired in Toowoomba through a mechanic i knew there but he couldn't get the parts needed or get anyone help us out, so we ended up leaving the camper trailer at his workplace in town and drove back to Brisbane to have the vehicle repaired. I would have put money on the diff locking up on the run home with the noise it was making, but amazingly it made it back to Slacks Creek and i dropped the vehicle off at Diff Lapping who i'd called from Toowoomba. By 3.00 p.m that arvo they had the diff apart and gave me a quote on repairs, by 10.00 a.m the next morning we were on our way to Carnarvon Gorge once again, just a touch lighter in the old hip pocket...lol.
Hope you get the vehicle fixed soon without to much drama

"After all these years..."   Ummmm.....?

According to dazzler, et al none of this would have happened if you'd been carrying spare trailer bearings/hubs and perhaps a fan belt too 

Nothing to learn here Suzuki owners, move along

So who are the et al?

Would love to know who else pointed out your questionable advice based upon negligible experience. Perhaps you could give us fifteen pages on where Steve went wrong?

BTW, happy new year.

"So who are the et al?"

Those like you who reckon carrying trailer bearings and hubs and fan belts can ward off evil spirits 

Like the man said it's always bloody annoying being stranded on the road and we do our best with preparation and maintenance but there's always the unexpected and machines and electronics aren't perfect.

For most camping trips help is always near at hand and fairly manageable when trouble strikes, but for serious bush bashing none of us could ever carry enough spares or tools, which is why you don't go it alone on such occasions.

Furthermore it's the trials and tribulations that make life interesting and make us appreciate the good times even more, so HNY and bring it on
