Ronny Dahl Bought a Quartermaster

[Logsplitter]

Is this how all threads are going to play out now? Another opportunity to bring up the driveshaft issue. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when the discussion on Ronny's 28 minute washup of his trip, mods, canopy setup, etc. quickly centres on a 30 second reference to the driveshaft.
Ronny would have been howled down if he didn't mention it. He took a spare as insurance because he was far from civilization in rugged off-road conditions. If he didn't acknowledge it he would been accused of sponsorship and cover up. No winners there.

I get there is some anxiety about the driveshaft, and some (few) have been genuinely affected by a failure. I also get that threads regularly go off-topic and I'm guilty of doing that myself. The driveshaft issue is at peak fixation but perhaps we could keep the discussion in those several threads about the driveshaft and CV rather than every thread quickly getting sidetracked by it.

Please.

Fair point

Yes good point...the water was starting to look a bit brackish

I hope he's got a good 45 Torx bit in the kit.
He may have never used one before.

I did tell Ronny at the Sydney 4WD Adventure Show about the Resource links. So he should know.

Does anyone know how much one costs?
I was thinking a few of us who do remote trips could chip in to buy one, and swap it from boot to boot on the outback tour roulette wheel until someone has to actually use it.


Bugger, I’ve just contributed to the thread debilitation haven’t I.

You're a very naughty boy but sounds like a good idea. I've asked for a cost so will advise when find out.

Back on topic, nice kitchen set up Ronny
