Re: The bdrunner goes to Moab 2008

A couple shots from today.  I managed to break my twin stick (the replacement should be here tomorrow) along the way.  I'm stuck in 4wd currently, but I'm happy I can still change gear ranges.  This afternoon we replaced the oil pump gasket to stop a leak and in the morning I'm getting some daystar bump installed on the shocks to soften the blow when the suspension bottoms.

We're not sure what trail tomorrow holds, it will depend on the weather somewhat.

I can tell you that a long wheel base, lower CG and firm springs make climbing much easier in Moab.
