Arr man I fully thought a wheel had come off to start with! Yeah they replaced it no questions and were super good about it all. Just one of those things. I did realise though I had welded the chains to far apart hence why the cross-over never caught the hitch. Something I gotta fix. Cheers mate👍
Mate, that pin failure would have tightened up everyone's sphincters. You must have been on the prunes for 6 days just to return the operating systems back to normal hey! Just back myself from hunting a few fish, glad to see you all safe and sound. Cheers for sharing the video! Stay safe! 👍😃
@@oldmate_adventures 67cm Baldy put a smile on my dial! I have had spring steel fail before when there has been a fault in the metal and it has sheared. Just glad you guys weren't hurt and the van didn't roll.
Gee old mate.. bloody lucky there.. Glad everything worked out to be fine.. Atleast you can go fishing more.. Thanks for the up date bud and until the next installment stay safe..
Enjoying your vids mate, go the Dmax aye, how do you find the mrt cab with no window, my dragon hates it and wants a window put in, i recon rear view extension mirrors are the go.Also thats the second one of those hitches we have seen shear that pin, we swapped ours out to a poly block much tougher aye.
So far mate I'm a fan of the mrt, no back window doesn't worry me. Something else to break and stops crooks looking inside etc. Yeah I have also heard since a couple of pins breaking but new hitch is epic! Way way easier to put on n off. We went this type because we have a boat trailer also and don't want to swap hitch fittings around all the time...dunno might eventually go a different offroad hitch down the track. Thanks for the support mate! Much appreciated 👍🍻
That would have scared the sh!t out of you!
Glad to hear ALKO have sorted you out with a replacement.
Another great vid guys, thanks!

Solid fish!! Yeah that's how it can happen hey. More people I talk to the more I realise we were lucky it was a gravel road and it just dug a trench.

Yeah was a close call hey. Lucky was on gravel and just dug a trench. Yeah Bremer Bay not a bad place to be stuck for a week!!
I only watch this channel because of your mrs 😁
Haha same here 😅
Dodged a bullet there!!
Not a good feeling seeing what your towing coming towards you on the side.
Glad all safe and well!!
Yeah John was so so lucky it was on a gravel road and no one else about! Cheers mate, yeah back on the road again now and getting amongst it! 👍
Thanks for the vid, will you be shortening your trailer chains?
They as short as they can go mate. I can go 1 link shorter but risky if turning too sharp.
