Moab was the best 4wheeling I've done in my life!
I missed day 1 of the trip due to my wife's grandfather's funeral.  No biggie about missing Fins & Things and Hells Revenge in the rain.

Day 2 was Moab Rim.  First time I've ever driven with lockers and dual cases.  What a blast  :greengrin:
Day 3 was Cliff Hanger and Hells Revenge.
Day 4 was an easy day at Arches
Day 5 was Metal Masher
Day 6 was Poison Spider Mesa, Golden Spike, and Gold Bar Rim
And Day 7 was Pritchett Canyon.

Out of the 100's of lines I tried over the week, I think I was denied by 4 or 5.  Not bad for only running 33" crappy tires.  Most of those lines were big undercut ledges that just swallowed my tiny tires.

I made Rock Chucker on Metal Masher, Rocker Knocker on Pritchett, and with some help, WidowMaker on Metal Masher.  Those were the three obstacles that I wanted to try while in Moab.  I also made Hells Gate on Hells Revenge but didn't try Escalator since I don't have front or rear bumpers.

Here are some pictures of the trip.  I have a ton more that I will post soon.  Here is the link to the entire trip photos on my club's board

Z turn on Moab Rim


Ledge on Hells Revenge


Headed down hill to Hells Gate on Hells Revenge






Up Hells Gate.  Looks easy from the top.  Pretty nasty looking from the bottom.


Widowmaker Hill on Metal Masher


Rock Chucker on Metal Masher


Big ledge on Metal Masher

Golden Crack on Golden Spike


Somewhere on PSM, GS, or GBR


Steep downhill ledge on Pritchett


Steep climb on Pritchett


Yellow Hill, last climb out of Pritchett


Group shot after finishing Pritchett, the toughest 4 miles of Moab.  It took us about 9 hours to complete.  We had one front D44 shaft break.  That was it for carnage.  Not bad for that trail.
