ROCKtober Therapy - THE Moab Gathering

Yup. Pulled it and drove out in fwd. it took quite a while to climb back out in the dark. Made for a challenging evening.

 

Forgot… that diff explosion happened on Metal masher.

 

whoops

 

Anyone tried running Kane Creek yet? Was on my list for today but just heard a rumor that it might be closed/washed out.

 

We hit Fins and Things today… we got a late start after too many beers the night before. Nothin broken. Tomorrow Hells Revenge or maybe chicken corners…

Met a cool dude (Ken Davis) on the trails with a Taco and he ran with us today. Always nice to run trails with someone who knows them and is just a little crazier than yourself

 

I am so fucking bummed I couldn’t make this trip. Wife and I did a short Moab trip two weeks ago and ran some of the Kokopelli trail and TOTW. I am very seriously considering going up mid week this week or next weekend and just fucking soloing some trails so I can be out there.

 

That's quite impressive.

 

Buy $2500 worth of RCVs they said, you'll never break them they said.

 

$5 circlip takes out $500 worth of axle

 

4 quarts of ATF later, made it home. Great weekend as usual.

 

Thanks to everyone for another great weekend out in Moab. Spent time with friends, met some new folks, and put faces to names on the forum. I learned a lot about wheel speed and enjoyed some new trails. It was fun taking harder lines, and watching others push their rigs. Cant wait till next time!

This was Saturday on gold spike headed to the crack:





@Red Baron running the crack open-open.





@Wishbone Runner





@literallynothing






Friday headed up Moab Rim




Do not be fooled by this picture. Can you spot the infraction? It was @Red Baron first time having to do this...

And of course....

 

Fully agreed it was an amazing weekend getting to hit trifecta and moab rim awesome hitting all new trails with @Littles @WarFab Armor @Wishbone Runner @literallynothing @Squeaky Penguin (kinda but passenger seat will count) and all the new faces

 

By the way, I grabbed a white/gray coleman chair from around the fire before I left. Does anyone know who it belongs to?

 

Figured this would interest some people. We were talking about different tools to pull CVs when I broke mine in Moab. Picked up this adjustable pry at today when helping a friend replace most of the front end on his fiancé’s FJ. Definitely my new favorite tool to pull a CV.

 

Well, we have been out of the game for a couple of years. Last did Rock Therapy in ‘18

Just bought a Gladiator to build. We will be doing the Rubicon and then Rock Therapy in the Fall (if Jeeps are allowed ) I’m sure it’s way too early still, but I’ll ask anyway. Any ideas on the week it’ll be this year?

 

You ever try one of those rope jerkoff things that you cinch on the cv/kinda use as a slide hammer?

 

I haven’t personally tried one of those, but a friend of mine uses one for CVs
