I'm glad to hear you won't be completely alone. However, I will say that one friend in a separate vehicle is better than three friends riding with you. Find somebody with another vehicle to go along on the trip!

As a cheaper, easier option, you could always "fine tune" your setup by adding an inch of body lift.

It was. I added a picture in my original post above.

Hmm, good question. Has anyone else tried a recovery like this? For that matter, if anyone has other stories of so-called advanced winch recoveries they have done, please speak up. I'd love to hear about them.

Background: I currently own a winch, and I've had one once before on a prior Jeep. So far, I've only actually done a few traditional, simple pulls--you know, just hooking up to something directly in front of me and pulling straight ahead. This is how winches seem to be used in the majority of...

The plan is to meet at Maverik in Ephraim at 9:00am. While some guys may caravan together, I figure most of us will just drive there individually. As for myself, I'm going to leave Lehi between 7:15-7:30 and be driving solo. I'll be easy to spot en route--just look for the silver Suburban...

PM returned.

Wow, that could have turned out a lot worse. I'm glad you guys are okay, and I'm glad you got ahold of a couple guys that were able to rescue you. (For the record, I would have been happy to come to your aid--do you even have my phone number?)

I'd love to go on another trail run with you--it's been a while. I hope you can make it (after all, it's just a one-day thing).

I just invited my friend Mark to come along in his white XJ. A few of you have seen him in action out at the snakes... and he is crazy. :)

Oh, I already figured the trip was called off. No worries.

Great. Rockreligious has confirmed that he will be there--albeit as a passenger--and I offered to let him ride with me if nobody else has a more spacious open seat for him to use.

This, definitely.

Okay, okay... but there was nobody else in this thread at which to direct my comment. Any time after 9:30 can work for me, too.

This is the delicate part, ya know. We don't want to cut into Kevin's beauty sleep. ;) What time do you think, Kevin?

Not exactly... as in, not at all. We ended up not going. I am completely unfamiliar with this trail/area.

Okay, fine, talk me into it. ;) It's not dirt I worry about but rather goopy mud than I tend to avoid. Still, I am open to suggestions. If we want to head for Mineral Basin, well, then I guess that's what we'll do.

Good news: I'm off work on Thursday and should have most of the day free. Bad news: it's supposed to rain that day. What to do? What to do?

So Sunday (October 6th) it is, then. My understanding is that the usual meeting place is the Maverik gas station at 100 N Main Street. Shall we meet there at, say 9:00am?

That makes 5 or 6 RME members who are interested. Add in my two non-RME co-workers and we've got ourselves a group! Now we just need to decide: Saturday or Sunday?
