I broke too... MY FREAKIN BIG TOE! I can hardly push the clutch in now. Not sure if I will wheel anymore. Have to see in the morning. I also broke my driver mirror and buckled my left floor pan on the gate keeper. I can't complain if that is all. BUT MY TOE HURTS!! ;D

My breakdown occured on day2 on the approach to Rusty Nail.  We pulled the Jeep to the side of the trail, and I rode with Doug the rest of the ride.  On returning to the rig it failed to start after many tries to jump start.

Finally we decided the batteries were dead, so I took them out and drove 220 miles r/t to Grand Junction CO to find a Walmart open on Sunday night.  The next morning Doug drove me back up at 5:00am.  With the next batteries I was able to get back to the parking lot.  Subsequently the alternator tested bad and the batteries good.

So I have had tio park the Jeep and ride shotgun in Doug's JK.  Not as fun as driving, but it's great to see the trails.

Doug didn't mention it himself, but the same ride I broke another Jeep broke a D35 axle shaft at the top of Gold Bar Rim.  At the same time he took me back to my rig, he took the two guys all the way back to the top to effect repairs.  Props to Doug for helping above and beyond the call of duty.

And we still made it back to town to do the Moab Rim ride.

It's all good here in Moab! This is from the trail minor threat from area bfe. THAT PLACE IS THE FREAKIN BOMB! Boulders for obstacles, 6ft ledges, it has it all!

no damage at all other than making the license plate a little more wrinkled.I got lucky with my sliders holding me off the wall. It was a great ride though.
