FYI world travelers in a rail.........
« on: September 14, 2009, 11:09:12 AM »
Just recieved a call from a couple crazy Aussies travelling the world in a sand rail. They are in town and are needing transaxle service. I gave them a couple #s (Terry and Bruce) for possible repairs. Check out their blog here.....

Did I see a rad in the front of it?  Oh well ... still a pretty cool amazing thing to be doing. Hope they have great trip.

Let me know if they need any parts for the trans.

I talked to Chris today.  His gearbox is a Bus 091, and it is making a LOT of noise, so he's going to get it rebuilt while he waits in Barriere.  I suspect he'll be along here in our forum in a day or two.
