It was a good trip. Lots of rain as usual for a JT4x4 outing. We had a few broken items while on the trail.

Friday - Frank fried a ujoint and axle shaft ears in his D44

Saturday
Nate blew up a stubshaft and wheel bearing unit
Rock put nice dent around passenger taillight
Kirk ripped passenger taillight and CB mount right out of his YJ
Rock lost his power steering

Sunday
Nate blew a bead and dented a rim pretty good. Nothing that a big hammer and air couldn't fix
Nate snapped the balljoint in his tie rod end so creativity with small d-rings was used to get him off the trail

I think those were the more major breakings. Nothing like the abuse the XJ had taken from the other group we ran into on Sunday.

That picture you took going around the washout on Dodge road does absolutely nothing for the drop that was actually there!

I didn't get much for pics, first one cracks me up though.  Got some video but I need to do some editing.  Betsy is supposed to send me some stuff too.

There is a guy selling a HP44/9" combo on pirate right now.  4.56's and the HP44 has RCV's.  $1600.00 for the pair.

Nate, what happened?  All those joints were new and those are chromo shafts.  I figured you'd break a ring and pinion before the shafts.  3/4" helm joints, 8' of 1.5" DOM, and those tons you have would fix your problems right up, just saying.
