OK, here's a summary:

On 9pm Friday night, 3 miles east of Madera on Hwy 120, Matt's JGC gets a check-engine light, then immediately overheats. The PS pump pulley had cracked and fell off the pump, and since the JGC uses a single serpentine belt, he had to get towed back home. (He drove his other car up the next morning to join us, though.)

On Saturday afternoon, I drove my Pathy through a stream crossing a little too fast, causing several fan blades on my newly-installed electric fan to break off.

While I attempted to perform emergency repairs back at camp, the rest of the group went 'wheeling, and Josh bent a tie-rod adjuster, then later slashed a sidewall. The volcanic rocks in that region are sharp!

This trip resulted in the most carnage (# of incidents) we've ever had on an Xcursion. (Let's hope it stays that way!) smile
