UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Look at all that room.

 

Damn!

 

Both

Trail consists of rock, sand and considerable slickrock with many steps exceeding 48”. Steep inclines and declines are prevalent. Enhanced off road equipment is required including locking devices (front & rear), 35" tires, maximum vehicle ground clearance, and tow hooks. A winch is desirable. Excellent driving skills are required. Vehicle mechanical or body damage is likely. Roll over possibilities exist.

My heavily modified Jeep approved -



My stock Tacoma - not a chance in hell.

 

Front and rear locker - check
35” tires - no dice! But, I do have 34’s
Maximum ground clearance- not sure, but pretty good.
Tow hooks - check
Winch - check
Excellent driving skills - probably not, but I know people that do.
Rollover and body damage- no likey!

 

Yes I cut quite a bit off. I did keep both bolts on the cab mount though. I just unbolted it and turned it to allow for more room.

 

The one piece you're missing are sliders. Mine took a beating because the Moab steps are unpredictable. I'd probably do it, but YMMV.

 

Armor plated front to back, and of course, includes sliders.

 

What does "YMMV", stand for?

 

I’m assuming “your mileage may very”

 

LOL, i was wondering the same thing.

 

We need to do a Utah Super meetup. Nothing Uber technical, but a decent overland trip.

Anyone have an idea? Could we go to wendover and head north for a couple days?

 

I would need advance notice to make time to get off work. Working all the time sucks ass.

 

Sounds great to me. I’m not very familiar with anything north of wendover but I’m game.

 

How much advance notice do you need?

Neither am I. Looking for suggestions. Virginia (@Gunshot-6A) suggested a burning man style meet up.

We could go from Wendover to St. George, then freeway back.

 

There’s this...

And if you need any SW Utah info, let me know.

 

I'd be down but pretty much out all of June

 

Yup - in this day and age of warning stickers on everything, before I suggest someone take on a difficult and potentially dangerous trail, I'll give a warning. My buddy literally ripped his panhard bar off the frame on this trail. Talk about a fun day getting him back to pavement. But, based on this beautiful rig, I doubt he'd have any problems.

 

If you are interested in doing this yourself I would be willing to help. @BOMBS and I took his coilovers off and adjusted them a few weeks ago. My lift, with new rear springs and UCA's, took about 6 hours to do.

 

Ive got a few ideas in my head. Down by the lake powell area and another towards vegas. Im short on vacay days this year so I am gonna see how much i could cram in a 3 day weekend.

 

4 weeks would be nice, but not guaranteed. Multiple jobs, multiple bosses, unlimited BS I have to deal with. April is a no go for me. I already have a scheduled road trip towards the end of the month. After that, let the planning begin.
