Moab trip Oct. 5-8

[jpest]

Here are some pics from our last trip to Moab.

My 1st trip through Upper Helldorado. We didn't get up the last waterfall. I think we can drive the last waterfall next time, just have to find the right line, can't wait to go back and try:

1st Time I've been able to go through Pritchett unassisted. We even did a couple optional obstacles that I had never attempted before. I love Pritchett.
A couple pics from Pritchett canyon:

We did all the optional obstacles on Hells Revenge except the Big Hot Tub. I think I'll try it next time. I still never get tired of Hells Revenge!

Rock pile was fun coming down. We started to lift a rear tire.Rock Pile video:

Sweet looking buggy.

I was there the same weekend. Saw you at the enterence to hells revenge. I was in the little white k-5 with the group of toys.

Wish we could have seen you run some of the hot tub's.

That was my chevy in the hot tub! What do I need to do to get a copy of that video from you?

Post it up or pm me a copy.

Let me know what works best for you.

Thanks

Awesome how people see each other in Moab and then can talk about it on a web site like this after getting back home. I didnt realize some people I ran into in Moab were members of this message board.

I just need to figure out how to email it. IS your email address mainiac@planet4x4.net?

 

[Mainiac]

e-mail adress is correct. I am not sure how you can get the video from the camera to the computer, but once it is on the computer you can just attach the file. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

here my rig on the gate.

Nice pic! Thats just a fun obstacle to drive. Whenever I drive up Hells Gate all I can think about is that lady on you tube who totaled her TJ after rolling 3 or 4 times down to the bottom.

 

[cannoncrawler]

yeah I got a little high......lol

the guy before me went too far driver and i didn't want to do that. i backed off a little and went right up.

I wasnt as lucky on double whammy.........rolled hard. lol

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

oops

oops

just got stupid......I should have taken the one big climb on the right. other 4 runners i was with did it after i cleaned my junk up. there was a pin hole in the radiator i patched. Then we strapped down the motor with ratchet straps, push started it and drove out.

before that i did most of the trail in 2wd without the locker. rig runs great and goes up (most) things with ease. it's a great 4 runner, I just was stupid....
Damage
fenders broke, bent pillar, cracked windshield dented hood, bent front clip and radiator. broke motor mounts and starter. broke full top.
