Trip Report Moab EJS prerun-March 12-13 2022

[mbryson]

To celebrate @ebryson birthday, we decided to head to Moab to prerun a couple trails and test our rigs a bit.

Ran 7 mile and Hells Revenge on Saturday then Fins and Things on Sunday. I didn't get a ton of pics but did get a few videos.

Posed pic



Another poser pic. Very old and tired rig vs very nicely executed newer rig.



Nice "art" with the shadow? (It looked cooler in person--you probably had to be there to appreciate it )




More posing. I don't have picture taking kids these days

It was great to get out with you all! I didn't take many pics at all, glad you got some!

I think all 3 of us lifted a tire in that first hole!

Fun trip we need to do it more often

Totally agree!




I added some lighting after that trip.

 

[UPNO4]

Did you upgrade the forward looking candles?

Now I have downward looking and slightly forward looking candles. @ebryson and I need to get our Jeeps out and make sure we are ready for EJS. Likely head up towards the "B" sometime this weekend to make sure our transfer case issues are fixed

I should probably look at mine before I head down this week

Mine is good to go (famous last words?) at 6 5:15 pm on Friday. Eric's (@ebryson) still struggling with his transfer case. Transfer case is kind of important. I'm at the point where I'd check the shift forks in his. Not sure where he's at. Last night, we could get it to shift but it was kind of temperamental about when it wanted to go from 4-L to 2-H or vice versa.

 

[UPNO4]

Does it have the 2L shift fork

Does the T/case shift without the linkage connected?

It does not have a 2L shift fork, my Jeep isn't that cool.

The t-case does shift without the linkage connected.

From what I was just told by @mbryson it shifts way better than it did yesterday.

All seems well. It was "tempermental" like a menstruating southern belle that didn't make prom queen after being snubbed for homecoming queen last night. Today, it's good to go. Pretty dang nice actually. I'll drive it around a bit and confirm it's good to go.
