Bush welding Baboons and Sani Pass

[Bugger]

We did Baboons pass in 2017 with 2 2Wd beach Buggies and 2 Syncro busses

We were told we will not make Baboons with
2Wd open diff vehicles
But ons was nie bang


It was no joke doing it
For us in the Buggies it was actually a had walk in the Park

After the trip we knew how a round rock looked like and Packking them for the Bus Guys


I broke 2 tiered ends as my front Tyres was to big but had spare
Then The pitman arm splines stripped on the Steering box
After stripping the Steering box and checking the Tie rods and nearly driving of the Mountain 3 times I stripped the Steering box again and found the Splines Stripped.
So the only way of repairing this was to weld them together

I Always carry welding rods with me on Any trip

We gathered the other Vehicles batteries and mconnected them in Series 24V
And Welded the Steering

Also did a Trip up Sani Pass April 2017 with the Aircooled 2Wd Busses and one of the Guys had broken his engine Hanger that needed welding

And Again I amazed the guy with Bush welding
There is a feature in the July 2018 4x4 Leisure wheels of the Aircooled trip

I was Support Vehicle with my Syncro Camper

So technical info

Always take the Thinnest arc welding rods with you on a trip and 120A jumper cables and a Vicegrip pliers

You use the Jumper cables to connect the + of the one Battery to the - of the Next
Then earth as normal on the part to weld

Use the Vicegrip pliers to clamp on to the Welding rod then that other Red jumper cable to the Vicegrip pliers just help with a better weld

And there you
Go

Practice at home this could Be life saving
