ChUSA glad you made it back out. I took was saved my one of those trail stick welder when my shtick bumper decided to come off the frame.

Surprise to see the A break when you have that fancy Offroad ready hitch setup.

What's the plan for improvement? Giant steel plate to gusset the top?

Build a new A frame with Arabias overkill is the plan.
Gussets? Yes!!
Thicker box beams? Yes!!

Just a WAG but looking at those pics of the break I would guess maybe too much weight in the trailer and speed=break. It's good you weren't out there by your lonesome that wouldda been a mess.

From Cass Kalinski  (CKayaks)

Quote from: CKayaks;2837473
North Pass Trip Report:
After dropping Chris off in Lone Pine, I headed back to the hot springs to rejoin the group on Monday.  Came in through Big Pine, down Waocoba road and Saline Valley road.  Most of the route was good dirt road. I did 40-45mph for about 2/3 of the route.  They had the "road closed" signs up at the Waucoba/Saline Valley road intersection, but lots of tire tracks going around that.  There were also "road closed" signs at 168/Waucoba Road, but those just warned that the road to Scotty's Castle was closed twenty something miles ahead.

The canyon coming down from North Pass into the upper end of Saline Valley was a bit washed out for a few miles, but nothing I could not get through in two wheel drive. Bumpy and minor rutting. 

There was one large washout about 16 miles north of the hot springs.  It was located in a deep dip in the road.  I was cruising at 45mph when I approached it. Luckily, it was marked with a cone on the north side and a log sticking out of a pile of rocks on the south side.  That gave me enough time to hit the brakes.  I would have ended up butt in the air if I had slide into that coming over the rise at that speed. A path around had been rocked up by prior travelers.

All in all, no problems coming and going via North Pass out of Saline Valley. 

I did find it humorous to pull into the group camp at the hot springs and see almost the same group of McGiver's working on the Tacoma.  Didn't I just leave this scene yesterday??  Deja vue! 

I'll leave it to others to report on the repairs and other parts of the trip.  Great time!  Thank you Chris for organizing and Danny for leading us through.

Very glad to see it worked out OK, I'm loving the photos of how wide open it is on the racetrack.

I made it home about an hour ago (7:15 p.m.).  We left the hot springs around 9:30 this morning.  Still decompressing from the drive.  Photos tomorrow.
