The Mojave Road April 2016...
« on: April 24, 2016, 09:18:48 PM »
Well, I guess I'll kick this off for now, since I had to jet out early and I was probably the first person home.  I'll just throw a couple up and add more tomorrow, just to whet the appetite a little bit...

Airing down...

very nice shots, especially the picture of the entire camp. Story behind that coil must be really entertaining!

Is it just me, or are the PB links not working?  I fixed my links, but it must be something wonky going on right now.

What kind of coilover setup was that and what would cause it to break like that?

From everything that I saw Christiaan was driving very conservatively. If I had to guess as to what happened it was just previous hits on the suspension that finally gave way at a bad moment. Either way, he was with some very knowledgeable people who jumped right in to get him home. While it's always fun to laugh at the carnage it's never fun to be the guy that it happens to. I have been "That Guy" before with a catastrophic break and because of a bunch of guys much like on this forum got me back up and running. Believe me, it's no fun to be the guy who is broke out in the middle of nowhere. The stress of a break like that can be overwhelming to the driver but when the guys jump in it is like getting a life saver tossed to you in open seas with no land in sight.

What I'm saying is a testament to the guys on this forum who will not leave someone behind no matter what. They are exactly the ones I want to wheel with no matter the trail or experience.

^^^Very true Erik.

Preparation, patience, and  the tenure of the group are the reasons this trip is annually wait listed.

I would like to post these pictures on the "other" forum, but only if you all will allow me to.  If you don't want a picture of yourself or of your vehicle posted outside of this forum, please let me know.
