Thanks for the pics!
I hear rumor that the baby blue 40 broke some stuff this year.

lost a nut from the driver front shackle hanger on the side of the new shackle plate 
also, shock on that side unthreaded, and bent
- likely after the rod was just hanging out in the wrong spot and hit the spring perch on a drop 
the occurrence of both on the same day is simple coincidence - unrelated events, really
not linked to stupid behavior or particular obstacle, either - other than that landing on a shock is more like while wheeling than on the road 
at any rate, I got 5 years out of that shock; can't complain
oh yeah, and I had a blown marker light bulb

I'm starting to wonder if we have any pix of the baby blue '40 with all four tires on the ground?
I'm less impressed with the tire flex of the ones on the ground, what was the air down pressure?
Nothing big, noticed a broken shackle before we left, made a new one, failed to recheck the nut torque and one fell off.
A mount end unscrewed on one of the Bilstein shocks, when it came apart the shaft got bent, so had to run a couple of trails without it, until a replacement could be procured.
17psi for Hotel Rock and Lockhart, 15psi for Golden Spike and thereafter.
Not that many 'wheeling pix this year, more landscape, here we go:
and onwards...

20 on Dome Plateau
...and some more... we're now on the Hotel Rock trail...

...but I didn't...
...that 3 pix per post is almost as slow as the trails...
Claudia in the rocks of Lockhart on Tuesday afternoon - tech inspection on Wednesday, and then Natural Arch up on Dome Plateau, and the view from Dome Plateau into Professor Valley. Blasted the dirt road all the way out to I-70.
