Hey all, im new to the forums :helloo:
I had my first camping trip at Double Island on the weekend and had a great time. Everything was going well until the last few hours (typical)! My speedo stopped working (assuming my speedo cable has either broken or come apart).

Also while off road i was trying to avoid a large dip in the sand/dirt and i ended up running into a tree stump fairly hard. It's bent the pole connecting the front wheels, im just chasing the name (maybe CV joint?) i WILL be adding a picture so you can see what i mean; im just waiting for my camera to charge.

I had to remove the front sway bar because everytime i turned left the bar would get caught on the sway bar so any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)

maybe try and remove the sway bar hangers too, they are only a 17mm bolt I think, they just look like trouble and like they might get in the way of something

Off topic just abit, but how do the sierras handel with out the sway bar ?

Without, it has more flex, correct ?

Handles fine...

Tyre choice and suspension condition affects safety far more.
