Be sure to bring a spare transfer case for that guy. He'll appreciate it.

What broke on what vehicles? Was that a Landcruiser that broke a t-case?

I just got the camera and still trying to figure it out. Yeah the landcruiser broke the front output housing on the T/case. I have been wheeling for 30 years and this trip was the worst carnage I have ever had. Here is a list.
broken T/case, Landcruiser
impaled radiator, Jeep CJ-7
3 tire blowouts, Jeep CJ-7, Jeep CJ-5 and Toyota pickup
one broken hub, Mine Dodge D50
two bent radius arms, Mine Dodge D50
two bent drag links, Mine Dodge D50 and Ford Bronco
one bent tie rod, Mine Dodge D50
One blown front diff, Toyota pickup
One broken shock, Toyota pickup
two broken leaf springs, Toyota pickup
One blown fuel pump, Jeep CJ-5
That was just the mechanical breaks I have another long list of bent sheetmetal.
The red Toyota blew out it's front diff on day one and finished the trail in two wheel drive. It was not pretty to watch as the driver hammered on it for 2 days but it did make it.
I still was a lot of fun though. Can't wait till next years run.
