@Cascadia, thanks. It really was a good time, but Friday and all the issues threw everyone off. We had a grand master plan that included Fins right when we arrived and wives/kids were unpacking and swimming, but.... We weren't concerned with difficulty, more with it being dark and us being...

Saturday we slept in, packed up and headed out. On the way back to SLC we hit up Tusher Tunnel and had a lot of fun. The wives/kids really liked that one. Coming home we battled incredible headwinds the entire way, so with my hesitation issue I wasn't ever in 5th gear I don't...

Saturday we were out the door by 10 or so, drove around Moab a bit, and then headed out to Gemini Bridges Road with the intent of driving down Bull Canyon to look up at the Bridges. The drive was fun, kids behaved (my 6 month old slept the whole way) but come to find that you can no...

Just a mile or two up the canyon, when pulling up a hill, Trooper started to buck, I lost power, throttle was deadened, and black clouds spewed out my tailpipe... Sonofa... So we pulled off to a level pullout. I let it sit for 20 minutes. Then I checked the dipstick. Look at...

All of this the past year I upgraded/solidified Trooper in prep for Moab. Two good friends here in Layton, Dustin in his Rodeo and Anthony in his TJ, and I had decided long ago we were going to go down, and take the families with us. So we've been planning this for a while. So, this past...

Tune in when we get home Sunday on why it took us nearly 8 hours to drive from Layton to Moab......

Thanks man, we have a few kids in the group that are old enough to love that. And yes, by kids, I mean me. :D

Your list lines up with what we were thinking, Ross. For sure Fins. Any advice on night rides, guys?

Love the updates, man! Looks awesome. We do need to get out - can't believe that was February when we wheeled. Where does time go? :eek2:

Cool, thanks. Getting ideas for my next replacement set, and those you put on are too good a deal to ignore. We're hitting up Moab in a few weeks too. Time to get Trooper on some red rock for the first time.

Now that you have some miles under you, how are you liking your tires?

Hahaha! I seriously haven't laughed that hard in a long time!!

Good to know where all that ties in! Last January some buddies and I headed out to the sun tunnels to play with long exposure cameras, and were going to take the old RR bed there.... but took a wrong turn and ended up at the pumphouse and on the RR causeway. I, like an idiot, left my map on the...

Park in the front lawn, turn the sprinklers. :D awesome pics, though, thanks for sharing.

Where's the fun in that? ;) Looks like a good time. I need to get out more, your day trip is perfect.

Things will change again after this weekend with all the flooding....

Have fun, all! If you need me to bring up some hot chocolate and donuts after you've been thoroughly soaked, I might be able to break away. ;)
