Alabama thread!

Moab. MOAB! MO. AB. Oh YEA


Yes I cheated and rented a utv, don’t have my truck with me, but hell’s revenge was crazy! That first obstacle with the narrow boulders made me take a step back lol and I chickened out of hell’s gate. That’s stupid steep in person. Might try it if I had a good spotter. Might

 

@TacoAlaMode and I did it in the rain, it was scary and fun all at the same time, the entrance is crazy.

@TacoAlaMode did Hell's Gate and he didn't have any locker at the time.

But at Poison Spider Mesa when @TacoAlaMode was spotting me looking in his mirror and on a CB on this ledge was the part of Moab that made me cringe and he went off it with no spotter.

We did White Rim Canyon too, that was a really nice three day trail, this was the trail head.



Check out where these guys set up their tent, lol



The pictures I took don't even compare to standing there looking at it before taking them.




I took hundreds of them, wish I was on my way back there now.

 

Wow! Y’all made that look so easy. The entrance to Hell’s gate is almost just as bad as going up, another reason I didn’t want to try it lol Moab is beautiful, can’t wait to come back here with my truck, I’ll spend a few days

 

LOL, once you go in the entrance it makes the rest not seem as bad, it is the prettiest place I have ever seen, I wish everyone could see it.

 

I can’t wait to get out there, just too much going in this year. I’ve got 3 weddings to go to and a family trip plus my own wedding to plan, wel for Anna to plan

 

You will love it

 

Mornin fellas

 

Morning Bama! Tired of this rain already...

 

Yea ive got to completely overhaul truck before i go out there, make sure everything in tip top shape. That plus gas and food makes it a very pricey trip haha. Especially when your truck gets 11mpg lol.

 

It's gonna cost you a fortune to drive out to Moab! lol

 

Im actually looking to ship truck for the way back lol so even more. I would fly home haha. That way i could maximize my time out there.

 

Thank you for looking out for me.. He did contact me. Hope to get something worked out with him.

Appreciated you tagging me !

I may hit you up for a tune since you’re here in the Bham area.

 

Out of curiosity, I got a quote from UShip.com on shipping a tacoma from Alabama to Moab. I checked the box for lift kit, bigger tires and extra weight. Average price was $1,200. I figured it would be more than that.

 

I got quoted $1500 but cant remember which company it was.

 

I wonder if you can rent a U haul truck to tow it out there?

 

That would be great.. You on a 3rd or 2nd Gen?

Thanks,

John

 

That wont work because its a time thing not a mileage thing.

 

I think I spent around $700 the last time I went but well worth it.
I took U-joints, tie rods, ball joints, CVs, oil, gear oil, a complete tool set and all my recovery stuff.
There is several places to take a $5 shower, we got a hotel room about every 3 days just to have a comfortable place to rest, shower and sleep in a bed, lol
