Phil and I took a zillion pictures of your bumper then.

Had a great time riding with bkcruiser. Never really got used to how much that 55 leans.

Nothing like looking down Moab rim in a leaning 55 wondering if you are about to end up in the Colorado river!

Here's a few from Elephant Hill.

miker · 05-06-08, 02:42 PM

Several more

miker · 05-06-08, 02:47 PM

From the Joint Trail, Chesler Park. Very cool hike!

miker · 05-06-08, 02:50 PM

A few more.

Talked to him Sunday Morning, guess he did end up putting it on its side and busting out the driverside rear window, other than that though, he said it kept running the whole time it was on its side!~

I can attest to that. It was on Rocker Knocker. I was in the 55 when it went over. Didn't think about taking any pics from the passenger seat when it went. I guess I was thinking about other things.

The dude from the mag was snapping pictures like crazy so maybe it will show up somewhere else. I'm sure I had a "OH CR@P" look on my face.

We had a wonderful time at CM this year, just like the last two years. Everything seemed to go very smoothly. We also met up with a lot of people we've met before and came across quite a few interesting new folks. Extra thanks to all the spotting help. We emerged unscathed.

Heepeter?
If so, it was a pleasure meeting you. Too bad you blew up your CV on the first obstacle, but it was great to see you had it back together and were working on the

by the time we got back that day.

Yup and its all Dans fault

On a pre-run the boot on her Toyota IFS CV axle broke and leaked everywhere. We were not able to get a Toyota axle the next day so we went with a carquest one. 20% into steel beneder, jsut after the pic Pappy posted, the CV axle sheared at the diff. A smooth flat break that was a manufacturing defect.Dan's fault for making the non-Toyota part break. Don't mess with the shaman

She drove the rest of the trail in 2wd because she had no front locker and with one axle out, the other never carried the load. She is really good. She needed a strap once and felt bad for holding the group up.

We took the boots off the Toyota axle and put them on the Toyota axle, actually Justin Morgan did. We then had no further issues.

SteveLCetc · 05-06-08, 07:03 PM

Dan's slipping. He failed to bring the right part, but then punished you anyway?

DSRTRDR · 05-06-08, 10:03 PM

I sense a disturbance in the force.........

Those of us in New Mexico don't believe in Dan's Shamanistic powers. We think he is just a fake puff of s ...... [poof].......
