Hi all. New-ish to the forum (been on in the past reading but haven't posted yet), thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm located over in West Valley (the western part of West Valley), and my current vehicle is a 2008 Hummer H3 that I picked up last year. I've only taken it offroad a few times, first was down near Vernon Reservoir (was still bone stock back then), then some dirt roads here and there, and then this last spring I took it down to Moab with a group of other Hummer owners and ran a few of the trails there. Gold Bar Rim was one (went from rain to mud to snow and back again), and another was Poison Spider (The Safari route according to the maps). The H3 was decked out by then.
Here it is when it was stock, up near the top of what turned into a narrow ATV trail near Vernon Reservoir:
And here it was at the end of Gold Bar:
And someone getting me momentarily stuck coming back down Spider after we had to turn around, I just had to get a different line (gratuitous tire in the air shot):
I'm looking to find some trails to run locally that are a day trip, I can't always take a full weekend or longer for longer trips, but I really want to start taking her out more often. All I have done this year is Moab for real offroading, I need to do more runs to justify the money and time I've put into building it up. And to just have fun. Driving her over to Millcreek and back for work every day is a little boring.
