The guys from Nitro Gear were invited down to Ultimate Adventure this year by Petersen's 4 Wheel and Off Road Magazine. Here are some of the pictures of them and the other guys down as they cruise through the south.

Carl had an issue with his trans mount so a ratchet strap helped to get him moving again:

All of the photos and videos available on Facebook have the tag #UA2013, so if you want to see more pics and the videos, search using that hashtag.

Here are a few more photo teasers of the trip:



















 
Here is a little more background info from Carl, who attended UA this year:

This year we were fortunate enough to attend Petersen's 4 Wheel & Offroad's Ultimate Adventure. This is an annual event and has grown to be one of the most famous and renowned events. We came aboard as the official Gear & Axle Sponsor.

The event consists of a mix of Hardcore trails, to Freeway driving. This year was held in the deep south and we covered over 1500 miles through the states of Alabama, Georgia, Florida & South Carolina. This trip is the real deal. Long days of wheeling, road driving and wrenching with little time for sleep. High temps combined with high humidity, record rainfalls, and lots of bugs and mud kept this adventure "Ultimate"

This year we brought a unique vehicle. Our 1987 Land Cruiser BJ73 which was imported form Spain in mint condition, and taken apart, cut up and heavily modified with Custom Toyota based 9.5" Axles, Icon Coilovers, custom cage, links, rockers, bumpers, Hutchinson double beadlocks, 37" Nitto Trail grapplers and much more. The goal was for the truck to be capable, strong and reliable in hardcore offroad situations, and to drive nicer than stock as it will be daily driven. See this thread for more info on the build of the Nitro Gear & Axle BJ73 project "Inigo Montoya".

To our surprise Project "Inigo" BJ73 was said to be "easily the most exotic vehicle on the trip!"
