I always enjoy going to BOSVARK 4x4 in Krugersdorp, I only live about 5km from the track witch means my girlfriend knows that if I'm going to the shops and I'm going with my lux.... there will be mud.
I was there yesterday with my mate on a unplanned run and yes I GOT STUCK, lucky me. Fortunately there was other people on the track with a Hilux and a Jeep (THANKS A LOT GUYS)
The track is taking shape now with a map and all obstacles is clearly marked out.
BOSVARK not bad...

Shame Mr_B, give the guy a break.
Wayne, you'll find gangle pins on the same shelf (Midas, autozone etc) as the left-handed axes...

Re: BOSVARK not bad...
Haha jaja. You guy's are old school, I replaced mine long ago with a overhead discombobulator! It comes from OZ with a 2 year garantee where the gangle pins has problems from day 1. This has nothing to do with Bosvark 4X4, but I say it's a conversion worth doing!!!

Re: BOSVARK not bad...
It's just gangly Bretton being Bretton, guys .... you know, ... with one or two pins loose or missing. 
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
