Ineos crew, there is an issue with the front driveshaft CV at the transfer case side. The acute driveline angle generates heat causing the rubber on the CV to rip and spill grease. This leads to failure of the CV joint and ultimately immediate loss of forward propulsion. The failures have been well documented. Do you have plans to redesign this part or should owners start looking for their own permanent solutions?

This is a serious safety concern that needs to be resolved.

Lynn didn't have the answer to hand but we discussed the CV joint boots failing by the nature of them operating at their extremes in terms of deflection. She took it back to her engineering team and they replied today.

It's a long drive from here!
All good road trips in Australia are a long drive, I am doing a 3 month trip next year just to have a long drive, basically Melbourne- Darwin and back
Nothing like a road trip and some quality time in the desert
It was supposed to be in a Grenadier but sadly not until the design/ engineering failures are addressed

But I have to add a ferry trip and book a long way ahead , and tow.
Easier for Reuben to whack an axle on top of his rig and drop it off to me when he next tours Tassy with the 24/7 crew!
