UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Congrats, what’d you end up finding?

 

Ext cab manual, 150k miles. 1 owner, no accidents - an older gentlemen who meticulously cared for the car. Couldn't be happier, just about exactly what I was looking for.

 

Score! Sounds like a unicorn of a truck

 

You could go through Hurricane to Kanab, then push up cottonwood canyon road to see Grosvenor Arch and some hoodoos and stuff then through Escalante and Hanksville to Moab. If you have a few hours between Kanab and Cottonwood road, you could make a detour to White Pocket, or hike into Buckskin Gultch for a little bit to stretch the legs. DO NOT attempt Cottonwood road when wet. Ask @ScenicCityOverland about his little escapade in the mud around that area...and his clever use of a winch.

I like this route off 15 thru Zion too. Even if you’re not stopping, it’s a beautiful drive all the way up 89 too.

 

Eat at Pasta Jay's if you like Italian. IMO it's one of the best Italian places in Utah.

 

My man! Buckskin Gultch looks pretty neat! Think I just found my route! Appreciate the input brother.

 

End to End it is 26 miles, but you can park at the Wire Pass trailhead and hike around the first couple of miles. Can't remember if you need a day permit or not.

The cool stuff is much farther in, but you'd need to do an overnight and get a permit for it. They limit it to 20 people each night, and the Tuesday Wednesday I went, there were 3 of us. Ended up giving the other 2 a ride to the TH from the ranger station and we ended up just doing it together. Made a few good friends! Just don't do it in July like I did...

 

Congrats on the find. Any special plans?

 

Thanks friend, I'm very pleased with the purchase. I bought it from a great guy that took amazing care of it. He got at least 3 or 4 calls just when i was there looking at the truck, so the fact that i got to it first was really lucky. Bought a Tepui on black friday that im going to throw on it, it came with a shell though and having that seems to be pretty nice. I want to wheel the piss out of it, couldn't afford to do so with a 3rd gen.

 

We srated our holiday raod trip to the Pacific Coast last night. If u want u can follow along in my thread here.

Excellent, now post some pics of that beautiful truck.

 

I'll do it today, lol been putting it off.

 

Merry Christmas to all you Tacoma folks, from a mostly shut down but snowy and partly still open Zion National Park.

 

Hey I'm not far from you up near logan.

New here on Taco World and just moved to UT
Anyone else in the Logan area?

 

Has anyone heard of hutch rtt? They have a showroom in SLC but i have never even heard of it. Just wanted to see if anyone had reviews.

 

Part of me thinks I've heard the name before, but nothing to say on the matter. I think I read a member with a build on here that liked his. Honestly, most are all made in the same 1 or 2 china plants, so prob not much difference.

 

I might run over there to see how they are. It would be nice to not have to pay the 250 dollar shipping fee.
Thank

 

Let me know what you think. I'm in the market too. I've got one on my trailer but need another one or a bigger one
