Do we need to make it a little later? Meet at 9:00?? B-RAD give me a call when you get a minute, or I'll stop by your shop tomm. if I don't hear from you tonight.

Don't change the time on account of me! I'd rather get up early and get it! Besides, I need to be back in SLC by 2:00pm.

Tell him to bring out his Banshee. Tara and I are going to bring ours and then hike the trail. Hell, tell him that I'll pick him up.

The sign after the main road turn off ???

on a moab scale what would this local trail be rated, i dont know if i can do much more than a 3+ and where the hell is it?

 

[BlackSheep]

Rattlesnake has been rated anywhere from 3- to 4 by members of this board (do a search!), and constrictor is definately a 5+.

Both are located in the five mile pass OHV area west of Lehi.

my chrome is home.... I may just end up standing in the middle of the road. I like the slate rocks for the fishys need to get a rig to carry them down though. Thats what I did after I got fixed. Oh and BTW BRING SPARE EVERYTHING. that trail seems to want to break people. me, shawn, tracy(twice). b is too cool to break. or maybe it's the 60's

 

[gtidrivr]

It sounds to be the equivilent of golden spike. I dont know if i will be able to make it though. Does anyone want to do next weekend maybe?

Rattlesnake is easier than Golden Spike

Compared to Constrictor, Golden spike is a cake walk. I'd more likely compare Constrictor to something like upper helldorado

Its getting to be a tight squeeze for me to make it this weekend, so i may be down for next weekend .

I'd love to hear how you broke today on constrictor. Someone ALWAYS breaks SOMETHING.

 

[muleskinner]

2- Warn hubs
1-44 short side shaft
1-D60 35 spline, 1.5'' moser shaft... (actually lost it on the waterfall on Rattlesnake.. Defective I would guess, he Wasn't really on the gas or anything.)

Pretty good time, I tasted victory on the eagle's nest, but just couldn't top it.... I have a bit of tailgate/taillight damage from it though. lost a U-joint cap on my frt axle towing a bronco out from the eagle's nest to the road, but luckily it didn't take a shaft with it Pretty good turnout- 3-Broncos, B-RAD's Juggy, 2-4Runners and a Sami.

Pretty sweet runnah, 60's Frt & rear, 40'' MTR's on 17'' wheels.

Here's the broken Moser shaft... Clean off at the ff end.

Ouch! Nice pics!

It looks like it was a good time. How close is the Eagles Nest to being driven? Still pretty far off?

I think its not to far off from being topped. we all got pretty close. I got kinda stuck as I was basicly standing on my spear tire and could'nt back up to try againso I winched. muleskinner was realy close to making it. I think next time I go out there I'm taking a bow saw That is a very fun trail. Cant wait to see the rest of skinners pics.
