2 tires cut from the razor sharp granite...no other failures.
and we were driving mud covered rocks and deep water crossings all weekend.
I lead the advanced group and we pretty much looked for the all the new trails that had been broken by the logging equipment that had cut a bunch of the higher ridges of the area. This area of the National Forest we were in is all super steep granite cliffs with sedimented washes between the rock out croppings so you end up filling the tires with mud right before you climb a granite ledge.
Picture Moab with mud in all the cracks
I like the fact that Charlie brought his LR3 out for the ride, there is also lots of stuff in the area for very stock trucks and its great to see them out there using them for that aspect of the design. Should he have bought a 04 DII? I dont think so, the LR3 carries more gear and dogs in his case and the amount of total off roading he will do overall the LR3 should be a good truck for him.
