TRAKAS FIRST OUTING
WELL THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE TRAKA
TO GO ON ITS FIRST TRIP.
WE WERE IN ALL HONESTY EXPECTING SOMETHING TO BREAK AND WE WERE NOT TO BE DISSAPOINTED ....
READ ON
WELL HERE WE ARE AT WOODLANDS. WE HAD PAID FOR A HOMETUNE GUY TO COME AND TUNE THE TRAKA ON THE SATURDAY ..... MONEY WELL SPENT
THE REALISATION OF A DREAM
OOOOOOOOH
ITS STARTING TO MOVE QUITE NICELY
DISLOCATED .. NOT FULLY YET
TUCK THAT WHEEL IN
START OF THE ILL FATED RUN
WHOAW THAT FLEXES NICELY
HELD BACK BY THE LENGTH
OF THE SHOCKS. THIS IS WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG, AS WE DROPPED INTO ONE OF THE LARGE BOMB HOLES WE BENT THE STEERING ARM.
IT WAS ACTUALLY THE ARM AT THE REAR OF THE FRONT AXLE AND IT WAS TOUCHING THE FLOOR IN THE MIDDLE.
WE ENDED UP WITH ABOUT
7 PEOPLE PUSHING ON THE WHEELS AND A TROLLEY JACK UNDER THE BENT ARM. WE THEN JACKED THE TRAKA UP ON THE BENT STEERING ARM
AND GOT HER NEAR ENOUGH STRAIGHT TO GET US HOME. ........ STEERING STRENGTHENING NEEDED !!!!!!!
LOOK MATT ... THE SAMMY GETTING ABUSED IN THE MUD
VITARAS BECOMING MORE COMMON
KEITH IN TINTOP
WHEEL IN THE AIR
GET IN THERE
OVER THE TOP
WELL ALL IN ALL A GREAT DAY
TRAKA WILL BE BACK STRONGER THAN EVER.
THANKS TO DAVE JONES WHO IS NOW THE OWNER OF THE SAMMY ( MORE ON DAVES SITE).
NO DOUBT IT WILL SEE LOADS MORE MUD FROM NOW ON
