This looks like a great adventure for everyone!  I can't wait to hear the stories that go along with the photos.  And what about breakdowns?  Gotta be some of them.  And please, keep those pictures coming.

off the top of my head,
1. Glenn had bent tie rod/broken stabilizer
2. Steve had two broken axles
3. Nick had a bad alternator (had to battery swap down the trail)
4. Graham had broken ujoint/yoke
5. Graham had bent pitman arm/broken ball joint
6. Ryan (JL) had broken shock.
7. Some vapor locking issues with a couple jeeps.

We were prepared. What do you think of our home made ball joint?

Well this certainly looks like you guys had some good weather.  The sky does look a little hazy from the fires.  I hope to make a trip like this some day.  Looking forward to more reports.Smile

The weather was good, except for a thunderstorm on Monday afternoon.   We were on a high ridge at the time.   Supposedly a strike started a fire, but I didn't see it.

Looks like from your picture of Bam Bam that the new kinetic rope was getting some use.
