Very cool!  I can't wait to get out there in June!  That frame break on the X-cab looks scary!

I hope he didn't have to pay too much to get that thing welded up out there.  Last year when we arrived in Moab, we discovered that the shock hoop on my truck managed to somehow rip the frame and nearly come off at some point on the highway.  We originally went to some Jeep shop where were informed that they had a lot of lifts to install that day, so they couldn't get to it unless we showed up first thing the next day...MAYBE...at that will be $150...IF they can get to it.  :smack:  So on our way back to the hotel we were on a side street and saw a ton of mashed up Yotas out front of this place called "The Shop".  So we went in there, and the guy fixed it for $50 on the spot.  For another $30, he fabbed up some gussets and welded them on for me.  Super cool guys.  We were there for like an hour tops, so it didn't cut into our wheeling time at all really.  They don't run a really "high end" shop....kind of shade tree mechanic style...  but I wouldn't hesitate to visit them again.  Pretty good welds too.
