I was driving up this creek in the Flinders Ranges on Friday in search of a waterfall. The creek was running about 15cm deep. It was also a good chance to wash some of the mud off the 4by. We cleared quite a few difficult obstacles and then approached this insignificant little rock ledge. But there was a hole in the creek where the wheel dropped in to and CRUNCH...!!! I hit it. Bent the front springhanger back level with the chassis. Hmmmmm...but we left the truck there and went for a walk. On our return we manoeuvered the Patrol into a position near a dead stump and wrapped a snatch strap around the stump and using the winch through a snatchblock and two tyre levers, gently pulled the springhanger forward until it jumped into place. Apart fron one stuffed shockabsorber there seems to be no damage. Good ole truck!
