Awesome pics. Looks like an incredible time. I need to make it there.

Really awesome pics! Pritchett is the only one I was worried about, having never been to Moab before. Have you done Golden Spike? It was the toughest run I did and would be curious how it compares. Other than the constant rear bumper scraping I had no problems at all. Here are some pics from CM07:http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j1...cs/CM07598.jpg

Did just the one truck try Rocker Knocker?

How did the IFS rigs do?

Thanks guys. It was a great trip. I was the only one to give Rocker Knocker a shot this year. The IFS rigs did extremely well on Pritchett, especially considering many of the obstacles were significantly more difficult than previous years.

...back to our photo report from Moab last weekend -

Very nice!

Looks like a great time, and a great group!

Glad that all had fun

Wow....I need to get off my arse and get out there with you guys. I have missed a few trips now.

Yes, this was an awesome trip. I don't have many pics, It seems as if I wasn't driving my rig I was spotting. Here's a few:

I would honestly have to say that the best part of this trip was the team work displayed getting through some hard a$$ trails. You guys were great!

I will be honest, this is one hard a$$ trail. I have done it a few times and it is getting worse. I don't know if it's due to the traffic it sees with large tired rigs or rain washing sections out, but it is harder than I have seen in the last 3 years.

In comparison to Golden Spike...it doesn't compare. I have done the Poison Spider, Golden Spike, Gold Bar Rim trio several times and while its nothing to take lightly its not in the same category. Frankly, I cannot believe we took 4 IFS rigs and 4 Solid Axle rigs through Prichett this year with no damage.

I had a great time as well. I'll post up when I get some time to download the pics. I am still amazed that between the 11 of us 8GB of photos and video were taken in just 4 days. For those YT'ers who haven't been to Moab yet, it's definitely a must do trip! :great:

That pic of Brian's air time at the Z Turn is sweeeeeeeeet!!!

I'd agree with Jim, was a great showing of coordination and teamwork throughout the entire adventure. Combining that much trail experience with such well built trucks really allowed many obstacles to be handled smoothly and safely. I am kicking myself for not doing more and trying harder obstacles with all the skilled spotters right there to lend a hand. Next time...

It was a pleasure getting to know some of you a lot better. I think we all meshed really well. I'd wheel with all of you anytime.

I've got GPS tracks of all the runs besides Pritchett. If anyone wants them, get me an E-mail via PM that I can send them to. They usually show up pretty well on Google Earth if you don't have TOPO type software on your computer already.

So.... when is the next trip??? :bigok:

As you mentioned...thats a testament to all the work we put in together to make it through unscathed. Work it was, but I really enjoyed running Pritchett. Everyone in our group made it an enjoyable day.

Wow, you guys make Moab look awesome. Makes me want to go even more now...

Fellas I had a great time, we are going to have to do that again for sure. Thanks to all of you who took so much time in making sure we all made it out alive. I look forward to wheeling with you guys again soon... And with a little work I should have my 4.10s out for 4.88s real soon. :drink:

I had a great time in Moab with everybody. As as been mentioned before, the teamwork shown in getting everybody over the really difficult obstacles was impressive. I also saw that if I ever went to a dedicated trail rig (truggy) it would be like Westy's. It also looks like Brian caught more air on that ledge in Moab Rim than I did.

I don't have any of my pics on my work laptop so I am unable to post anything right now.

geez i wanted to go. haha. missed out again. cheap. cool pics. very nice. looks like a lot of fun.

Nice. :bigok:

Wow...looks like fun. Great pictures. This one looks like an ARB ad.

How'd ya like the MTZ's?
