anyways was out testing locker with another guy in his newly build v8 yota..locker working sweet , his truck going well having a blast...even stopped and help some dudes on motorbikes ......near the end of run i lose all forward gears but still had reverse ...no worry's backed the last wee bit out river to where a trailer could be brought in for jeep ....buddy im with shoots away to get trailer.......sweet leaves his 18 year old boy with me...bit of time to kill so slide under jeep for a lookee....jeeps on slight upward slope im right under checking linkages and yell out to the young fella ...jump in put foot on brake and move the shifter up and down.....:crazy:..he leans in and bangs in neutral..
well yeah guess the rest ..sump wasnt bad going over but the diff made a bit of a mess:stars:......got one leg outta the way but other got a 33 slap...so just spent the best bit of 20 hours in hospital..couple of cracked ribs bruising around heart, thats why they kept me there...test each hour on hour:P
and heaps of soft tissue damage ...was scaring laying there just after having trouble breathy pain was good to.. could have been a lot worse .....probably one of the dumbest things ive done re 4wds...so yeah gonna be a couple of laid up days............any thoughts on the jeep..:D

Glad you are going to be okay. Rest and heal, its a little hard to change broken parts on us humans.

Jeez!
Well that should teach ya!
Next time use your head as the wheel chock.
It'll end faster!
....in all seriousness, god speed on a fast recovery.
If you can get your hands on some, start liberally applying copious amounts of "Arnica Gel" to all areas of bruising and not open soft tissue damage. Your healing time will signifigantly be reduced, and the surface bruising wont be as bad

[cantab27]
