EvilMJ Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Cat D8 and a chain wrapped around the ripper did the trick lol. Should have got a video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks like you needed more power!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMJ Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Power doesn't matter when your axle is underground and pushing thick red clay! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm curious as to whether airing down to 5psi and taking it super slow might have meant floating on the crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder. Shall we bring our MJs there to test the theory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMJ Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 It's doubtful in either case. I was not going very fast - I stopped at the edge to look - and it just sunk! lol. All MJs are welcome! There is plenty of ever changing terrain at a rock quarry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMJ Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 It took 1/2 an hour to spray the clay off the suspension; it was caked on the top of the diff, in the springs, wedged in the control arm mounts, packed in the wheels, in the front u-joints... it was a mess!

EvilMJ Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Sorry for delay - been busy at work and remodeling an old house in the evenings. I have had three. I just sold my NAS 94 petrol D90. I still have an 84 Defender 90 w/200 tdi and R380 conversion and a 85 Defender 110 Hi-cap pickup w/ 300tdi and R380 w/ Salisbury rear axle. The gasser was lucky to get 12 mpg w/ the 35s. The other two usually get around 20mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
