Ah Mo bit of a disaster. I stuck the head down and wanted to go away in it for Christmas. Myself and herself packed everything the day before Christmas eve. Headed off early Christmas eve saying goodbye to everyone see you in the new year.

3hours from home the bracket holding the steering box and panhard rod broke leaving us stranded. I rang a recovery truck who was about to switch off the phone and 400 pound sterling later I arrived back home at 7:30pm.

I have disco 2 axles fitted and a guy in the UK made me the brackets, in all honesty I was skeptical about the steering box one but fitted it anyway.

I've now fitted a Blackbird Industries bracket and back on the road. Will stick up all the pics I took and get everyone up to speed.

Here's a teaser taken the weekend in Black Valley Mayo
