Everyone make it back ok from OTG?

[Robby]

On a side note, we had some company on the way back. Two 70 series Land Cruisers with European plates came out of the south entrance to Joshua Tree and followed us for awhile.

That's because you looked like you knew where you were going and they are obviously lost....must've been a tough drive across the ocean :D

 

[Chris Zawacki]

Im so jealous! VA would be a bit of a drive for this....

 

[Kelly]

Back to work. When do we go again???

 

[HudsonZRoamer]

Made it back ok..got some clicking in the suspension area Im going to investigate this week. Back to putting my head back into my code at work this week :(

But Im stoked to be attending a Subaru event this Saturday.

Man I hate unpacking!

I refuse to unpack, that means it's over.

Made it back late last night. Spent most of the day cleaning it up.

@fj80toyman got some video from our way home (totally amateur)

Very cool, like the soundtrack! How did your pic of that old store in Badger turn out? That was one of my favorite pics and stops.

[Edit: I found mine]

 

[pwhumberto]

@fj80toyman your pic looks way better!!! I may have to borrow it from you

Bit of drama with the trailer, not the Nissan. At some point I took a curb large enough to articulate the brake actuator enough that it snapped the little shock assembly inside the trailer tongue that keeps braking smooth. As a result, everytime I had to use any moderate braking power, the trailer would lock and unlock its brakes repeatedly. Interesting, but not a trip ender...

Then, the smoke started pouring out of the street side wheel...

Yup, threw a wheel bearing. Had to pull over and wait an hour for the thing to cool enough to tear apart and rebuild.

I got back on the road, and finally got home to realize I had left my bread in the fridge of the trailer! A recipe for disaster!!! Had to half pop it up to retrieve it...

I heard it might rain this weekend. I'll let mother nature rinse my rig off.

Nope.

 

[OverlandToyota]

The rain on the way home that night, and the following days took care of that for me. She's clean, and I didn't have to lift a finger!

 

[WakeUpAndSmellThe80]

Just made it back to MN yesterday! Truck performed flawlessly! Thank you all for the amazing conversations and I hope to see you all next year if not sooner!
