Moab 3/23 - 3/31
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
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

Hot tub on Hells Revenge
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
My dad driving on Metal Masher
Launchpad on Golden Spike
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.

Nice Pics!!!!
rock chuckers quite a rush eh? I actually think that the exit from rock chucker is just as bad as the obstacle itself.
Launch pad is another fun one...definetly wakes you up a bit (for those who haven't seen it, his picture is not altered, it really is that steep)
looks like a blast. can't wait to get out there...only a few weeks left

The launch pad picture is turned a couple of degrees. I don't really like turning the camera while taking pictures but others do and it's hard to take pictures of yourself driving
Moab is a blast and I recommend it to anyone even thinking about going.
AxleIke, are you headed out for CruiseMoab with the Landcruiser guys?

no, but a couple weeks after, middle to end of may. I'll post up the dates when i know them for sure.
I was at CM last year, and it was awesome...Just have some other commitments this year, so can't do it. Wish i was though, some really sweet rigs, and one heck of a raffle. Last year, the same guy won two 9500 warn winches. One lucky dude i guess.

holy dead thread batman!!! Do you get fumes from your exhaust when you have the rear window down? I had a 'custom' exhaust done, but when the rear window is down, I still get fumes. And it is similar to your exit location.

I don't smell it from the drivers seat. I haven't sat in the backseat yet to see if the fumes affect the back. I need to check it out sometime before I stick my kids back there.
