    @Gotrovr I couldn't make the trip but interested in what happened with your Defender as a fellow 2021 owner. I wonder if it was related to shock failures reported on the other forum? https://landroverforums.com/forum/2020-defender-60/electronic-dampening-shock-failures-112336/

    Failure number 2.... Shock broke in two sections... When it happened, the suspension was in the highest setting and I was driving over water melon sized rocks for several miles.   I heard a loud pop like I blew out the side wall on one of my tires....  I have no one to blame.  

  2. Finally made it home today a little after 3pm.....   Drove 5mph under the limit, could have driven 10 over...  My truck's spirit was shaken not broken...   I have scheduled an appointment for my Defender with Land Rover Monterey next week, to get a spa treatment, MRI, Pig Pen tattoo, and assorted armor added...

    Next task for me is to sort out and refine my camera pics....

     

  3. On day 4 south of North Sheep Lake I drove over an unexpected rock large enough to push my center exhaust system into the heat shield that was rubbing against my rear driveline.   A quick field patch by Robert I was on my way only to break my left rear shock.....   I had no choice but end my trip and exit along highway 20 to Bend.  Made it without issues only the occasional banging of the shock and grinding of front right rotor due to foreign debri.  Friday I drove to Mom's north of Medford.  I plan on heading home Monday.  Overall the trip was EPIC.  Weather and scenery was spectacular.

    I'm going to bring an extra flag in case anyone forgets or loses one. As for the dunes requirements, it states we need an out of state permit.. "A State of Oregon off-highway vehicle sticker is required to operate on all lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon. Stickers may be purchased at All Terrain Vehicle dealerships or by calling 1 (800) 551-6949". Has anyone gotten a sticker yet? As well as are we going to stop by a dealership to get them?

    OHV's are motorcycles and ATV's.    This does not apply to Land Rovers

    An off-highway vehicle (OHV) is a motor vehicle capable of off-highway travel during winter or summer. OHV’s include all-terrain vehicles (ATV’s), four-wheelers, threewheelers, dirt bikes, motorcycles, trail bikes, and snowmobiles. 

     

  5. Not to beat a dead horse, however just confirming the flag requirements for Christmas Valley dunes is a whip extending to 9' above the ground with a flag of color either red or orange and with a minimum dimension of 8" x 12".   Not a 9' flag whip.

     

    • Safety Flag: When operating an ATV, ORM, or side-by-side on sand or in dune areas—including Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, Sand Lake, and Christmas Valley—you must display a red or orange flag that is at least 8 x 12 inches in size. The flag must be displayed 9 feet above the ground on the ORV.
