My first but hopefully not last session of Rock Therapy! Just what the doctor ordered

My boss gave me the opportunity of taking down his 1st gen SAS Double Cab Tacoma to Moab for a few days.Even though I had never driven this truck and was very nervous how could anyone turn that down? I also had a friend offer to Haul my buggy down for me. So i trailered down the Taco and he Trailered my Buggy.

Before we could leave i had to make sure I grabbed some spare Tie Rod ends that Lauren had ordered.

Fueled up the tow rigs and then we were off!

My dirty Cummins broke 100,000 miles on the way down had to get a pic
The drive went well for the most part.

Finally made it to Area BFE set up camp and went to bed.

 

Day 2 We slept in and just Enjoyed the bugs for awhile
Terrible video of the lower lots from the upper parking lot


Then we went into town to Moab Ice. Trail-Gear and shipped 2 boxes of swag there for me to give away.
Got some food and other supplies then headed back out to BFE.
Set up the TG pop up and parked my buggy next to it


Then had to pose the LROR Taco next to Detail Dan's !


Hung out some more.. then delivered some parts to Lauren. Her group asked about the BFE trails. I took them out on GreenDay ( One of my all time favorite trails. Can be fun for a stock rig or a challenge for fully built rock crawlers depending on what line you try)





I was a little late on this video of Bradley but you get the idea haha


Then I backed the bosses truck into a low hanging tree branch….


When we got to Suicide Hill the group was wondering if people really climb it. I said I had so here is some evidence to back it up. This is the first time I climbed it like 6? or so years ago.. Back when it had trees on it ( Lightening got 1 and idiots got the other)

Finished the trail and headed back to camp


Hung out for awhile but the bugs and heat were killing me so we decided to go swimming..Instead of getting out and going swimming I decided to drive up Potato Salad Hill a few times



the 1st try i missed the line and took awhile to find it. The 2nd and 3rd try were the smoothest but my phone was having issues and stopped recording every 10 seconds or so. 4th and 5th try I got a couple inches too far driver on the lower section .. Then too far passenger on the top.



After awhile of that decided better go swimming before I roll Sean's truck

Played in the river for awhile decided to head back before it got dark

 

Badass truck. I'm definitely jealous that you got to go to Moab and got to drive that truck.

 

Thanks man it was alot of fun. I just wish i would have had some practive driving thst truck previously.. But by the end of the week i think i had it pretty figured out

 

glad you made it down buddy, hope you can make it back down for next year...looks like you took advantage of the time well..and holy fuck was the creek water cold this year!

 

It was so cold! And deep! During the week it went up alot and got way fast! Saturday I couldn't even make it to the Dam Waterfall

 

Day 3 we went on Hells Revenge. Had a late start but caught up to everyone at Hells Gate.





Brian from Front Range Off-Road & Diamond Axles put on a heck of a show in the Devils Highway Hot Tub

Then we went down to Mickey's hot tub a few guys went through Nate made it look easy in his SAS Taco
