Gut feelings

Well with less than two weeks to got before heading off to cape york for a month I was under the car just checking things out and just stair ring at the cv joints (boots)
and thinking about everything bad that could possible go wrong miles from anywhere on our trip. Then after about five minutes of looking blankly up at the car I had this feeling to recheck the cv boots (checked them a week ago when fitting new shocks) and found a ten millimetre split. So went and changed the boots today and when cleaning up cv before fitting back found pitting on bearings so replaced cv. It just goes to show before a big trip or any trip for that matter it pays to check and recheck as I must have missed it the first time and would have been a real downer on our trip.
And now on brighter subject.....I got the MTR's fitted last week plus new shocks and 10000lb ox gets fitted Thursday and then cape york here we come (cant wait).
Not really running to any schedule just going to plod around for a month and enjoy some well earned R&R.
