2013 T.A.C.O. Moab Gathering OFFICIAL photo thread.

I know, nobody was interested before lol. We couldn't do it cause of our steering.

 

Silas I would've tried it but my front locker was acting up. And I think it was during the trifecta.

 

It's our way of making you keep the truck

 

Yeah... ah well.

haha

 

Kinda like this.......

 

Hahaha! I don't doubt this. However I think I'm having at it in 2014.

 

i just dont see a good out come with our average tacos 33s 35s and one locker on pritchett.... i think its a little out of our reach

 

You didn't sign up for the trail run............

 

Well you guys are braver than I. The videos I have watch has given me the definitely boho until I have a solid axle up front

 

lurry on pritchett..

he ended up busting his driveshaft on axle hill

more of his pics from his trip here,

 

So, here is my assessment of Rock Chucker on Metal Masher. In the pics below I pulled up to the face of the bottom rock (285s and a 3" front lift), you can see where I would have just smashed the bumper into the face of the rock. With a better approach angle from a bumper, rock stacking, 35's, or all of the above, you should be able to get the front tires up the first ledge without too much trouble.

The real difficulty of the obstacle would be in the second ledge. Once on top of the first rock, you would need to get passenger front on the small lip on the right side to have a chance of getting the front wheels on top, taking the ledge straight on would probably not be possible, it is basically a 5-6' vertical wall. There would also for sure be major belly dragging.

I think 35's, bumpers and lockers (probably F&R needed) you would have a pretty decent shot at it.

 

Those are really good pics from the trail. Good insight

 

Here is Widow Maker, this guy was on 38-40's or so and had to winch. The other jeep with him made it up though, the sand at the bottom was wet from the recent rain and he was saying it is normally easier with decent traction. Technical wise, not super hard, just a big ass wall.

 

What's with the person doing a pushup? Haha

 

Haha, she was taking pics.

 

With the exception of the rockpile, most of these are optional obstacles with a bypass. Ice Horse has taken her truck all of the way to Chewy.

 

Yeah I think there are lots of modest trucks on here that could make it as far as Chewy. It's the stuff after that that gets difficult IMO. And the "bypasses" on any of the spots on Pritchett are not exactly easy. Take Rocker Knocker, the bypass gets worse every year because of the number of people that want to say they've run Pritchett but but don't do any of the obstacles on the real trail and take or create bypasses. Now the bypasses are becoming pretty difficult on their own.

Just my opinion, but if you have to take the bypass on obstacles you should claim to have "done" the trail.

 

yea i'll be waiting to do pritchett til i have a rig that will tackle the whole trail

so many other trails that i can't wait to explore before i get to that point..
