From Ulaanbaatar
Liver Eater’s Last Ride
Heartbroken and outta luck, Ike Trafton and Tim Taylor gave up the ghost on a lonely road in Mongolia.
Ike Trafton sends the following post:
How to load a 4 ton car without a winch or lift truck:
– Simply back up to an embankment
– Use a pick-up and a section of cable to control the cars roll (and block a high speed road in the process)
– tie it down with old cables through the wheels (you can always re-powder coat)
..and voila, finished!
Now for the 100 kilometer drive to Ulaan Baatar – hoping the Liver Eater doesn’t break loose under braking and take us out for what we did to her.
More updates later …
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.

Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
Ahhhhh, yes, tow trucks…. First in Mongolia when we broke the mounting for the rear radius rods (and thereby tore out the driveshaft and the brake lines) – and then in Russia when we had fuel delivery problems as a result of all that fine Mongolian sand. Tow trucks… My single largest expense on P2P 2013 – but at least we finished!
Ouch. Loren cocking and Jenny Mah had a similar time with tow trucks
Hope all gets repaired in Ulan
Don’t miss cashmere shopping. I wish I bought more?
