Nope, not a climber whatsoever. Grassroots Motorsports once called me "the sherpa of the turbo Dodge world" because I graciously helped their editors soup up an Omni GLH Turbo... and I decided that would actually make a great custom plate for a Jeep that sees regular use in the mountains. I've...

I feared as much. Don't sweat it; I'm sure there will be another time.

UPDATE I finally found a friend (not on this forum) who can accompany me, so I can make the trip. We will meet at the infamous Chevron in Saratoga Springs at 3:00, then head out to run Rattlesnake. My friend's Jeep is a showroom stock JK 4dr, so I'm certain we won't be doing anything more...

And so I did. The woman said to call back in mid-May and they'd have a better idea of exactly when the canyon will open. So noted. Thanks!

Okay, thanks for saving me a trip driving to the mouth of the canyon to inquire. (I don't know who to call and ask.) Well, crap. I guess I can't read a calendar, either. I meant to say Monday the 30th.

I've got some family coming into town later this week. One of them has never experienced any kind of four wheeling, so he wants me to take him out on a trip of some kind. Schedule wise, it'll have to be on Monday afternoon. (I'd love to tag along on either the Saturday or Sunday trips being...

Wow--Turbo Joe has joined the 4WD crowd! :) Good to have you here. We've met, though it has been so long you may not remember me. Keep an eye on this forum, specifically the 'Northern Utah trips' section of the Upcoming Wheelin' Trips subforum. That is the go-to place when you need a buddy...

Hi, Dustin. I'm also in Lehi, apparently not far from you (I'm right by the "All About" Conoco station at 1700 W Main).

Wow, that link points to a beautiful web page--simple, concise, and chock full of great information. Do any other counties in Utah have similar pages? (PS: I just sent off my request for their maps.)

Thanks for all the info. I may have to head up there and take a look this summer.

Okay, here is a screen grab from Google maps: More or less due north from Silver Lake Flat is what I presume you are calling the Milkmaid trail. Over to the right, Mary Ellen Gulch trail is clearly labeled as such. I presume the smaller trail in between them is Major Evans Gulch, and I...

Is this the road shown above Silver Lake Flat reservoir on Google maps, then? (It isn't labeled, so I cannot be certain.)

Oh, I guess that's why Google maps labels it as a trail rather than drawing it as if it were a road. Thanks for the info, guys.

So I've been into AF Canyon dozens and dozens of times over the years. Like most people, I always use the Tibble Fork reservoir parking lot as a place to stop, air down, drop the sway bars, etc. But then when I get back under way, I never turn left and head up toward Silver Lake. Instead, I...

A story I just saw on tonight's 10:00 news (channel 2): Route 92 (aka the Alpine Loop) is closing tomorrow (October 31st) for road maintenance before the snow hits. Once the maintenance is completed, the route will remain closed for the season until next spring. They showed a map which...

I'm always up for a challenge that is just outside my Jeep's apparent ability--that's why I've added all the armor. :D As for constrictor, I have run this Wrangler up to the infamous left turn; I had to stop at that point because there was another Jeep (better built than me) who was struggling...

When are you planning to go, exactly? I'm certainly not going alone, and if someone else local is headed that way anyway.... Current specs: 1998 Wrangler 4.0L 5-speed 2" budget boost 31" MT/Rs 3.73 gears with open front and limited slip rear lots of armor (bumpers, rockers...

Recently, a particular topic has been coming to my mind repeatedly. It's one of those "bucket list" things, where there is a desire that tugs at you over and over and it just won't let go. I keep putting it out of my mind, but the thought keeps reappearing after a day or so. The more I think...

Some new friends of mine and I are finally getting together for our first Jeep run together. Right now it will be just two vehicles: their XJ and my TJ. They have been to Moab multiple times, but they have never wheeled anywhere in Utah county. I have taken it upon myself to introduce them to...

Looks like I'll be able to get that day off of work (a miracle in itself), so I'm planning to attend.
