Nice pictures!

I noticed a tilt in the Camera for the Launch Pad.  I tried Widow Maker in the snow the last time I was in Moab, couldn't make the 2nd ledge.  The first time I tried it with gears and lockers I went up like it was a curb.

My buddy just got back from Moab a while back and watched some rented stock Rubicons come up Hell's Gate with ease.  I have always managed to miss that particular spot.

Did you drag a little in the Golden Crack?

Good choice on the Escalator!

Was Dump Bump or Lions Back open?

I miss Moab!  :sad2:

There was some camera tilt on the launchpad picture.  I don't really like when people tilt the camera to make the picture seem tougher.  But, it was a cool picture so I included it.

I had some trouble with Widowmaker.  I think the 500+ pounds of gear in the back along with the 200 lb top was putting too much weight to the rear of the truck.  Next time, I will pack less and more gas pedal :)

Hells gate is tricky if you don't have a spotter.  One guy in our club spots really well so he lead me up the gate.  It's not difficult, just have to have correct tire placement or you are rolling like this http://youtube.com/watch?v=ouWJa6FC7-E

I did drag my passenger corner through the crack.  It was on the quarter panel, no biggie.  I was worried about my tail gate all trip.  I took some of the ledges really slow so I wouldn't hit the gate.

I will try Escalator someday :)

Neither Lions Back or Dump Bump was open. :(
