Hey guys, heading down to Moab this weekend, first time for me. Here are the players:

2003 TJ on 33s, locked D44s front and rear, 4" of lift with every suspension upgrade you can imagine, winch
2002 Isuzu Rodeo on 265/75 ATs with 2" OME lift, sliders, winch, and limited-slip rear
1992 Isuzu Trooper on 285/75 MTs with 2" OME lift and limited-slip rear (mine)

We're going down with our wives/families, plan to do some easy stuff with them during the day (Tuscher Tunnel, Long Canyon, Bull Canyon, Bridges) but are still arguing about what to do when for the 'guy only' portion of the trip while the families are playing at the pool. We want to do a few night rides and few morning/day rides.

With that said, what are our best options, especially the night rides, knowing what we have above? We're all experienced behind the wheel -- they both have Moab experience, I have trail and tractor/farm work. :D

Totally Awesome
I think you'd be fine on:

Fin's and Things
Hells Revenge
Poison Spider
Golden Spike
Gold Bar

etc.

I ran Poison, Golden and Gold on 245/75/16's when I had my old Range Rover with a 3 inch lift. I dragged the tail pipes, but nothing got broken. I did by-pass a few pretty hard obstacles though.

Pumpkin Chuck festival on Saturday for the kids.

Hells is a good one at night. You can go out a ways then turn around and come back if you dont have time to the whole thing. Any of the sections of Fins are also good night runs. Both are close to town.

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

Its a quite a bit tamer now that they moved it into town. The big cannons, and giant trebuchets don't show up anymore, so its more of a fall fest. with some smaller trebuchets and catapults for the chuckin. But still an activity to keep everyone happy.
