We've never been and thought it may be a decent time to go. I've got an '01 with 4.5" on 32" A/Ts. Should be geared to 4.56 and locked rear by then. Would it be irresponsible for us to go out there without knowing someone that will be running the same trails as us? I would love to hook up with you guys, but I don't think I'm up for Hell's Revenge and the harder trails. I don't have bumpers/recovery points/winch, etc. It's not going to be deserted enough to be all alone on the moderate trails, is it?

I'd love to go, buy don't want to be totally alone and get lost/stuck or something. Any input? Would we be fine heading out there and running into groups on the trail?

Mike

there will be groups out there everywhere at all skill levels. If i take my jeep or not we will be on Prichett, hells revenge, area Bfe, and poison spyder. i would buy a moab trail guide book and look through there. i would also get some recovery points before you go!

i've heard the food is terrible anyways! it's all about the mexican familia place by the ramada- get the verde burrito you'll be happy you did and the brewery has a delicious teriyaki chicken sandwich. it's crazy how much some of the other places bring the suck

interesting; i've always avoided mcstiff's just because i thought they only sold 3/2 beer in utah.. thanks for sharing

First things first....

WELCOME!!

One of the great things about Moab is the fantastic people you can meet there. We had a couple of guys from England wheel with us for a couple days in a Rover that they shipped over from England. Like most folks, they looked for a group of rigs parked at the City Market in the morning and came over and introduced themselves. It was great experience for all of us.

My family and I did the same thing on our first trip there and had a blast meeting new folks from all over the country.

Seth,
Pics & Video's...or BAN!!

Have fun and be safe.
