The last white(ish) truck from left to right is a UAZ 469 actually, the last modification before the Hunter came out, as far as I know. The first Pajero is our highly-equipped short-base truck that usually spearheads the operation when the rest of the group has lower levels of equipment.

And here's where the guys are heading:

And here is the Pajero in its early, semi-pristine form - we spent the whole night before traveling to this Off-roading convention cutting the fenders to fit in the new Interco tires. It's a pain getting them in Europe, but the wait was well worth it - they're great for mud. However, huge tires wreak havoc with your breaks - we've been changing disks like napkins almost. A new break system is in order, but will have to wait for better financial times. And the Patrol is a priority for the time being - the Pajero is no good for long-distance drives and the Patrol is well overdue for major maintenance.

Every summer - some years are much worse than others.
