Good luckKeep your powder dry

Ask for a Nolathane (I think it is) joint works a treat............ Good luckKeep the shiny side up

Willem, get them to fit a grease nipple at the same time. Beg borrow or steal a laptop to use in hospital - you'll be bored senseless and will need some diversion.You may need a vehicle with a slushbox for a while with a gammy left knee. Good luck.

Willem,

Had to read your post a second time, thought you said you were getting second hand parts. Was a little concerned about that, but with cleaner glasses, I note they will be AM.

Had a rellie get this op, a year or so ago, and she is very mobile.

Good luck, we'll hear from you later. Just make sure they get the toe-in set for radials!

Hooroo...

So not going genuine ah they must be pretty confident 15 year warranty you'll hack the pace mate !good luck

went and had a squiz at that g60 and gone from$3000 to $2500 got a lot of hard miles under her belt cya

All the best dude...

I had 2 ops on the leg last year, Knee reconstruction replacing all 4 ligaments with ones from Cadavors, and a tendon transfer to try and get my foot to work again after the crash.

Good luck, gimme a call if ya need a chat when ya sittin home doing nuthin!

Got me doubts about independent knee's, off road!

Hope it goes well Willem, I'm sure it will they work miricals these days.
Watch the weight mate, you loose it going in to hosp & put it on sitting around bored witless after. Give us a yell if the truck looks like it needs a run and we'll organise something, if you behave yourself we might even let you come along for a ride.
Take care.Carpe Diem

Best wishes, Willem. I'm sure all will go well. You may even be able to use a clutch properly when you recover!!

Don't forget to pick up a script for some of that teflon based, high temp. grease. I hear it works a treat on CVs, springs and the like. Talk is cheap ...

Willem,

Make sure the docs dont put in "Johnny joints". I think you will find the Johnny joints are availabe from the local pub, fittment usually takes one evening, 6 mates, and involves a payment of about $250 to the publican. They require frequent lubrication, again performed by the local publican for modest fee.

Make sure you get the joints with the anti-sway bar fitted, very useful around the police. Make sure you get them pointing in the same direction (ideally fowards), otherwise you just end up walking in circles.

All the best for the op.

Willem,

Take it easy from all of us locals, who are also on the 4wd out of adelaide site.

I used to drive a G 60 tray top for 3 years, honest but definitely no frills. When the seat went, I just grabbed a sheepskin (from the farm slaughter), stuffed it into the collapsed seat, and that worked for a coupla years. Had lotsa dust in the cab, too, and mud, and heat. So I think I have some empathy with your orange beast.

I can report that all you said about Warraweena proved true, starting with meeting Stonie & Gina. We (4 blokes) spent 3 nights/ 3 days there recently, and discovered that it would take another few days to see the other 'half' of Warraweena.

I've attempted to post a few Warraweena pics on the 4wd O O A site, but can't crack it...maybe when you get back in residence at Peterborough they'll be up fro you to see.

Willem,
just double check they have all the parts in stock and the necassary tools. I once had my suspension done and they didn't have the right torsion bars and I was wihout transport for the week, geeze it was a hassle. Adn a mate of a mate of mine had a half brother that ...............
Make sure you stay online. Good luck.
