We got off to a rocky start, loosing a trailer tire still in Aiken County. The right rear went and it blew my fender off. Quick pit stop, throw bent fender in back of truck, and continue. About an hour later, right about the time I settled back in to driving, left rear blew. The fender flipped onto the trailer deck, but broke the mounts. I had 2 new Maxxis spares, but now we're out.

We got back rolling and Brooks found a Mavis Tire that was open until 8:30 (this was about 7:30) and had trailer tires. We got there, mounted 2, and swapped the two remaining 2.5 yr old Castle Rocks for the new Goodyears. As I was putting one of the originals in the trailer for spares, something stabbed me. 3rd one had cords sticking through the sidewall. So, $531.54 and 4 new goodyears later, we got back on the road.

We drove through the night and are currently in Oklahoma City. Hoping for Albuquerque tonight.

Placed an order at the Moab Oreily's for a passenger front brake caliper to pick up in the morning (and a driver's side because well, they have one and who knows). Right front was dragging and then freed up, but going to swap it out in the morning.

We got in to Moab this morning and unloaded in the overflow lot across from our condo. I swapped the sticky caliper and was finishing up right about the time Taylor arrived. We grabbed some food and headed up to top of the world.

Removed some more inner fender and wrapped the headers this morning. Hopefully that keeps the heat down on the trail today.
I had no issue at all today (with temp) but we only did Hell's Revenge and the ambient temp was probably 10-15 degrees lower. But, my trans shifter linkage came out of the bracket and is currently being held in place by a zip tie.
