The band aid fix on the control mount is hold nicely.
There was no major breakdowns on the trip
The Dusy Ershim trail lived up to it's reputation. It's one tough trail. Thomson hill is long and relentless with lots of lose dirt & rocks of all sizes constantly moving under your tires putting Man and machine to the test.
Sometime on the second day I wedged a large rock between the front driver tire and the control arm bending the tie rod severely. It was making contact with the front U-joint and binding on the Hydro Ram
Limped it to camp, Ershim Lake (where lots of cold beverages were consumed) and the next day we were able to persuaded it back into position with a winch, snatch block, fire wood and the beam of my hi lift jack.

Man, what a trip! Thanks for sharing.
That looks super tough. Way to go.
Looks like that worked out to be a great trip! I need to get in there some time. Explaining to work that besides 2 Rubicon trips and a Fordyce run every year, I need to go run Dusy also should be fun lol. Thanks for sharing!
Richard, you continue to push forward. Thanks for pics.
