This was the owner of the blue jeep's first 4x4 trip. It didn't do very well but with a little work it did make it.
Trail damage wasn't to bad not like last years. We had,
Busted hub, Mine trying to get through little sluice.
Both radius arms bent, again mine trying to get through little sluice.
Bent rear driveshaft, mine trying to get through little sluice.
Bent tie rod, mine.
broken rear drive shaft yoke, Ugly blue Landcruiser.
fuel pump stopped working, blue jeep.
Bent drag link and tie rod, blue Jeep.
Carburetor problems, blue jeep.
Carburetor problem, Ugly Landcruiser.
One roll over, Ugly Landcruiser, no damage.

I put on 38" super swampers this year and I still didn't make it through little sluice. I try every year and fail. Little sluice seems to get worse every year.

It was a lot of fun and we all got through and drove our rigs home.

Looks like fun and the truck looks awesome!

Oh, I did edit your post because one of the pic links had a / in front of it which prevented it from being shown as a picture. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
