I shifted from 6th to 2nd one day on the highway, with 4.10's in the diff. Tacho went off the chart, and I bent the straps on the pressure plate. Could have been a lot worse!!

As hard as it is to make a mistake with all the regulations.. people still do!

We've had two vehicle rollovers in the past month and both due to people leaving the handbrakes off, and the toyotas rolling away down a drive and hitting a wall/ditch and going over lol

If anything serious happens the DME (dep. Mining & energy) are straight down and checking everything out.. we had a rock fall that clipped one of the bombers (explosives dude) that was in a man basket on a charge cart and the are was barricaded until they could inspect everything
