I wish I knew the answer, but I don't! Catching someone in the act of going off-trail rarely happens, and then it may end up in an ugly confrontation. Not everyone is willing to confront an offender, but we should all try to do it if the opportunity presents itself. I personally saw someone...

As far as I know, there are no ther major events in town the same weekend as winter convention. And this is the "off season", so rates should be a bit lower.

First off, let me say that I am proud to be associated with the people on this board. If more of the wheelers who come to Moab had the same strong ethic that so many RME'ers have, we wouldn't have near the problems that we do! Now for a few random comments. One, the guy who wrote the...

Thought I'd post up a few pics of the Helldorado trip we did last month. I'll be leading it again on Feb 3rd for U4 Winter Convention... who's in!?

I've been keeping a trail log for the last few years, and I just compiled everything the other day. In 2006, I went wheeling 49 times (mostly in the Moab area). Ran 24 different trails, with an average group size of just over 6 rigs. Did pritchett the most (10 times), followed by Area BFE (7...

Here is our U4WDA schedule: U4WDA Winter Convention February 3, 2007 The U4WDA winter trail ride will be hosted by Moab Friends-For-Wheelin’ in Moab, Utah. The event will be based at Area BFE. The meeting place will be the same as last year, at the old Sportsman’s Lounge parking...

We're working on the trail schedule for U4 winter convention now, it'll be finalized at our next club meeting on the 12th. Right now we are thinking maybe Steel Bender or Hell's for a moderate trail, Picture Frame Arch / Pritchett Arch for the easy one, Pritchett Canyon as the hard trail, and...

Like I said in an earlier post, there is a hiker / biker connection from Killer Kane to Cliffhanger that I have walked, but I could not find any possible route that a jeep could take. I'm not saying it's impossible, but even if it were, it would be extremely unlikely that the BLM would approve...

The road turns back towards Cliffhanger once it reaches the top. It dead-ends after a while, but there is a bike route that connects to Cliffhanger (near the "Z Turn"). I have walked the bike route, wondering if it could be driven with a 4x4, but there is a near cliff section that makes that...

I am.

Jackson Hole and Killer Kane are two different trails. Jackson Hole is the trail you see from the top of Cliffhanger, down at the bottom of the cliff. You access it from the Chicken Corners trail, and it passes through private property at Camelot. It is a dead-end, "in-and-out" trail, and is...

How about a few Samurai axle shafts, and maybe some stock leaf springs? Even though I haven't run stock Sammy axles for years, I used to have a pretty good supply, but I have sold/given them all away over the years. Seems like every time someone breaks one, they go to Moab OutPost, and Steve...

Moab Friends-For-Wheelin' was there with some BLM reps for Public Lands Day, and yes, the spot that tv_larson spoke of is very dangerous. To stay even close the original trail would require extreme side-hilling along a narrow spot that is really only wide enough for an atv. To the vehicle's...

I worked for a company for 17 years in Seattle that designed and built all kinds of light cranes. We sold a lot of jib kits. I'm not sure if there are any crane companies in the SLC area, but you might try and contact one. They can sell you the proper hinges, brackets, and accessories, as well...

Widowmaker is all about wheelbase. Shorter rigs (CJ / TJ type) can make it with a lot of throttle and some luck. Low center of gravity (i.e. minimal lift) helps a lot. Longer wheelbases make it a lot easier, as long as your rear overhang is short. I crawled it easily 2 weeks ago in my Samurai...

Thanks for the report and pics, Greg. Jim (the gray Zuk) and I both had a great time, and it was good meeting everybody and putting faces with names. Wish I could have joined everyone on Helldorado Sunday, but our Tails n' Trails Humane Society Benefit Run was that day. (By the way, it went...

Okay, since I haven't seen any firm meeting places/times yet, here is what I am planning: I'll be running Pritchett on Saturday the 27th. Meet at City Market, try to leave at 9:00 AM sharp. I'm planning on going all the way through (maybe run Behind the Rocks on the way out, depending on the...

Great! Just let me know which day and where/when to meet, and I'll be there. Jeff
