Whats else did you run in moab? The traction out here is amazing

In moab we ran:

Fins & Things
Hells Revenge
Poison Spyder Mesa
Golden Spike
Gold Bar Rim
Metal Masher
Area BFE (Helldorado)
Kane Creek Canyon

i think id have a hard time w that,lol....kinda spooked about heights and that shit looks near vertical....very awesome pics you took...noticed you guys are all rocking MTR's....seems to be a popular tire for that terrain...

its pretty steep but with lockers and good spotting you would be fine. I blame my tire going up a bit on my spotters whom were pointing in opposite directions haha

I have a ton of more pics Ill share once I upload them.

Day 3

After a long previous day of driving to Moab, wheelin both Fins & Things and Hells Revenge and finding a campsite in the dark to setup shop we finally got to bed. Not really having any idea what was around us since it was so dark we woke up to amazing views!








Meeting up with the whole crew and heading out to run Poison Spyder Mesa, Golden Spike and Gold Bar Rim

Day 4

Poison Spyder, Golden Spike, and Gold Bar Rim were very fun trails. Had a lot of hard obstacles with some fun highspeed sections that gave Mike an opportunity to let his tractor rip.

The following day the group had split up a bit and myself, Art and Mike were planning on Metal Masher and Rusty Nail...

Maybe an hour into the trail there was a pretty dug out ledge with plenty of other parts scattered around. Mike lined up and gave it a shot and well...

So from this point on Mike was running in 2WD with no winch. He was giving it hell and made it up some pretty steep ledges which was pretty bada** and only needed to be winched up one section. Once we had gotten to a point where we could bypass widowmaker and head back to the parking lot we got some pretty sweet gopro action of us ripping through some dirt roads. I then got the opportunity to take a ride in Mikes rig which was a ridiculous amount of fun I swear we must have been going close to 50mph. Not many photos of day 4 since we had some breakage but we decided to head to town and get Mike fixed up.

Later that night after getting Mikes rig fixed and grabbing a bite to eat Mike, Nate and his son, and myself went to check out Arches National Park.
