BajaF250 - taco'd BRAND NEW beadlock wheel!
flyinbronco - fuel pump and fuel tank
Ryan G. - flat tire
Mattc - destroyed radiator shroud, ripped radiator and possible engine damage?

Seat mount
Coil mount
37 Kevlar Goodyear
Radiator
AC liquid line
Many loose bolts

don't forget the battery mount

I think that's all I'm aware of... ok, time to fess up! What other carnage is out there?

Have to give a big thanks to Mark Kiefer. No carnage here!! Woohooooo!! I'm totally stoked to finally have a trail worthy Bronco again. Mark and his dad really went out of their way to knock my cage out in an unreasonably short period of time.

This is my favorite shot. The man, the myth, the legend...yeah, he's there. Just look through the window.

Echoing everyone elses sentiment exactly, what a trip! Was very different being in the passenger seat, but got to see everything because of it, so huge thanks to Dicker for the ride! Putting faces to all the handles and names and seeing the true camraderie couldn't have been better. Rallying around Rick, Philo, Matt and anyone else to keep them going, is just one of the ingredients that makes me love mexico so much! Very impressed with how few issues we had given a group of that size, altho think its time for a bronzed fuel pump trophy for the Huckmeister......haha!

Both John and Robs trucks have got my blood flowing to get busy with "guacamole" my yard art 79 shortbed...haha!. Congrats to John for his long awaited shake down cruise. How did the three turns on your rebound help?

Thanks to the organizers and all for a wonderful time!

I discovered a big crack in the passenger side beam near the axle opening this morning.
