Yes we did. The actual schedule went like this:
Day 1: Moab Rim
Day 2: Steelbender
Day 3: Behind the Rocks
Bill the photographer is on his way back to Dallas with Jim D. Once they get back, the website Steve linked should have those days pics.

Behind the Rocks was pretty Brutal, that White Knuckle Hill was pretty scary.
So many go down obstacles on that trail. I would much rather go up. Hell, I would have much rather had my buggy there.

We're back ok too...yeah too many down obstacles on Steel Bender and Behind the Rocks.
Prichett might still be my favorite Moab trail. At least when you are winching you are winching up, not down.
Next year we take the buggies and also plan a day of non-wheeling activity to break things up.

Good everyone made it out of Moab safe and somewhat sound. Great time and great people; I’m glad I had a chance to wheel with such a genuine and experienced group. Too bad I missed Behind the Rocks; my good luck may have run out on White Knuckle.
I’ll post up pics soon.

After 9 years of this, I have a trip to the body shop in the future. Rear bumper got the tailgate.
Re-Paint the 4Runner and that will be it for the thing, a pavement pounder.
I drove the buggy around yesterday, it runs really well. Time to take that out now.

Looks like a great trip minus the rollover. Sorry to see such a nice truck get broke, but just glad everyone was okay.
That sucks man....Too bad, I really like seeing the pics of your rig, but I can understand how a buggy is more fun.
