Is Nick Anderson the chap from Wooldridge Demolition that does the Croatia Trophy & runs the Wooldridge Trophy?

If so I used to follow the Challenger 4x4 Winch Challenge Series he competed in & sent him some photos I took of him in his truck once at one of the Mud Monster sites I think.

Did he ever use that picture for anything do you know? He was nearly on his side in a stream I think.

The underdog often starts the fight, and occasionally the upper dog deserves to win - Edgar Watson Howe.

If you wanted to go low pin then you would have to move the steering infront of the axle. And if your going to do that you may as well fit the Sammy swivels so you can use bigger cv's.

Dave cc the joints you have seen are not a Johnny joint replacement they are a uniball for ifs outer steering knuckles ! And they are more expensive than johnny joints


Shame had got my hopes up we would be having a currie style joint maufactured this side of the pond :( just cant justify spending a bag of sand to buy currie joints over here guess will be rod ends in boots or i better fire the Denford easyturn up and makes some :whistle:

So defo looks like the best bet is to fit the Sammi axle complete with new brackets and utilise link bar and drag link from the Sammi that is at the front already

is the denford lathe cnc ?? How would you turn a perfect sphere then ?? I know how i do just wondered if you had thought of it.

i think you might want to lengthen the Sammy axles maybe.
