Great pictures Rick, I never take many pictures because all of you other guys are so much better at it than I am.

I love to take pictures.  This fact got me into trouble at the Winter Fest because the guys behind me in Jeeps kept getting mad when I would stop and take pictures.

Great pics and fancy time line Toro.  I'm am always amazed at how you make time to run the biggest event of the year, personally repair broken rigs (at your home), raise a great family and still find time for photo art. 
I tip my hat to you Danny, I love you man.

Great shots everyone. Toro - can you post a link to Jeep Garrett's instagram page so we can check out his other photos (does he have any up yet?) Those time lapse shots are so freaking awesome.

I have quite a few photos from the trip I need to get posted up. Unfortunately I had to leave town for a business trip as soon as we got home, so I haven't had the time to work on them. I'm headed back home late this evening so hopefully I can get them posted by the end of this week.

Looks like a great trip!!!  Did the upper mount snap on the coilover or did the shaft inside of the coil spring break?  Anyways, good looking fix to get off the trail.  Awesome pictures and time lapse video.

Finally got to watch the time lapse, it was awesome. I hope there's more where that came from.

Danny would be the one to confirm, I'm sure he got a better look when removing it but it looked like the shaft snapped at the top of the shock body.

Mounts were all good.
   The shock shaft snapped right in the middle causing the whole thing to bow.
   Made taking it out "interesting"
After taking a closer look at it, I think all the gunk on the outer boot was caused by the shock oil hitting it and combining with all the dirt.
   We'll need Christiaans driving feed back to see if the axle actually broke. It was getting dark and we were pretty tired at that point.

She drives ok for now; I'm not pushing her all that much, but she's drivable.  What should I be looking/listening for?

You can either remove the half shaft and inspect it or grab ahold of it to see if it's loose by pulling on it. If it's just a leaking boot, that's easy enough to fix but will require you taking the hub off to replace it and re-grease everything.

It's probably just shock oil on the boot.  Clean the boot really well and check it after a day, week, month.  While you're under there just grab the axle and try to move it in all directions, it should not move.
Then drive it hard near your house to see how it holds up.
