Moab Rim is a challenging trail and you will need at least one locker and 33's on this trail. Armor and skidplates are suggested. Have a tow strap and strong front and rear frame mounted recovery points on your vehicle.

Damage and rollovers are possible on this trail. Rollovers aren't likely but can happen on this trail. It is a trail that you need to be always paying attention to what you're doing, especially on the climb up to the rim and the descent back down as there are many off camber ledges.

I can't enforce it but for the runs I'm leading I would request that alcoholic beverages not be consumed during the trail run. With a trail like this and for the benefit of the entire group, eliminating unnecessary complications and leaving the alcohol until after the run will help keep people on their A game.



So, Moab Rim on Friday will meet at the Moab Movie Theater on Kane Creek Road at 9:00am on Friday. CB Channel 22.

I cannot wait for this trip!

I will be making the 20 hour trip straight through on Tuesday. Should be leaving at about 5 am & I think I will be arriving in the middle of the night tuesday (1-3am). So I plan on running hells revenge on wednesday with you all.

 

Ive been talking to the guys that are going to be in Moab Early and we all just figured we would pick what trails we want to run the night before we run them.

 

14 days and 21 hours tell i leave this wreched place lol

 

10 days and 6 hours til i leave

 

beginning a trail signup/listing to help organize trail runs a bit better so we do not over fill runs.

Please let me know if you plan on running a trail, what day and who you plan on going with.

If you already have a full group on a trail, please indicate that and we'll consider it closed.

PLEASE KEEP TRAIL RUN SIZES 10-15 MAX!

on the longer trails, group sizes of 10 MAX

All meet times will be set at 8AM unless otherwise noted

 

I can lead a kane creek run again for anyone that wants in on it

 

any preference on day?

 

New official list for Trifecta run on Thrusday. I replaced a couple names with ones that were first to contact me. I know we dropped 3 names and i only added 2. I apologize but we need to keep the group size under control. Once again, sorry to those that wanted to be on this run but are not. Please try to organize a run for another day.

Moab Rim on Friday official list. We can probably do a 15 truck max on this run but if we can keep it smaller than that, all the better.

Also, can I make a requirement to either have sliders, or be willing to accept some damge?

 

No brainer to me. If you are signed up for either of my runs and don't have sliders, you WILL get rocker panel damage. Consider yourself warned.

 

As a spotter I will do my absolute best to get rigs through as smooth and as damage free as possible. But there are some circumstances that damge is inevitable if a rig is just not quite protected enough

Also, I can lead a night run of fins, if anyone is interested...

 

To all you guys leading the trail runs, and to all who are putting in the hard work to make this thing happen, THANK YOU!!

This will be my first time out, and although I've got the guidebooks and done my reading, it's still going to be a HUGE benefit to run these trails with experienced individuals who have driven/spotted these trails on prior trips.

I built a few things for the 4Runner last week so I can do my best to keep up with you guys. Can't wait for this trip!

 

Woohoo! Fresh meat! And good work on the skids!

 

Thanks! I need to read up on both trails, but I think I'd like to grab a spot on either your Kane Creek run or Boxrocket's Moab Rim run for Friday.

I definitely want in on one of the Trifecta runs for Saturday.

 

Sounds good. What night are you thinking? Wednesday or Thursday nights would be good for me..

Can you put me down for hells revenge Wednesday? Who's leading it?
