nice pic, Alex!
I hope none of you guys broke anything too expensive this trip! :sombrero:
our buddy broke the rear locker and front drive shaft on his SAS '05 Frontier.
rick stripped the tbar splines on his pathfinder. he also clobbered my pathfinder with his trailer at the gas station.
other than that, only minor body damage on several other vehicles.
the trails look great. the access roads have just been regraded, laid down some gravel and rock. it should be a great time at the Jamboree!
broken frontier:
we got stuck for nearly an hour on "On Any Sunday" as the Land Rover club held their New Owners Driving School on the trail. they walked every speed bump and pothole, spotted every vehicle and posed them in between when a tire came off the ground by just an inch.
we had 6 trucks in our group and it was impossible to turn around anyway. you'd think they would hurry it up a little, but in typical land rover attitude (oops, did i just say that?!), they couldn't be bothered.
even the event organizer (for the Land Rover group) was a prick - unsurprisingly. i was under Rick's truck, pulling out the tbar, and as he drove by, he slowed down to talk. most people would've offered help or tools, but he slowed down just to tell us, "Cool, that's one more thing for us to pull out!"
what a prick! it's about par for the course for most of the land rover owners i've met.
