AZ goes to Moab - Rocktober Therapy 2017

And somewhere to park the Tow Pig/Trailer

 

Yeah I think I am going to have to keep a bag of essentials in the truck.

 

I'm interested. house/hotels are appreciated after all the sand.

 

Maiden voyage of the elusive buggy?

 

Hopefully far from first trip. But yes, that is the focus.

Thinking group requirements of 34s or bigger. Fully armored. Winch or Front Locker. Good driver. 4-6 and hope at least 3 follow through.

 

I’ll practice changing CV’s in under 10 minutes

 

Correction...Utah HS MTB Races at the Brand Trails on Friday and Saturday. Fall Outerbike is the first weekend of October.

 

@Blender check this video out. I should have tried this hot tub instead.

Do those EAF Tacos just look AAF(Awkward) with 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag?

 

Oh, and details/story needed from Saturday.

 

What do you want to know?

 

That guy made it look pretty easy. We were barking up the wrong tree after all. next time....

 

Who did what? What was successful and not?

 

I don't know which one that is. Did he turn around and go backwards?

I got @NateMob up one last year. Gotta learn the Moab Bump, just enough tire speed, momentum and commitment without totally blowing the tires off. I know you usually want to avoid going to far to either side coming out of bowls, but Toys have the wheelbase to allow some walking over without getting to light.

 

Both blender and I did Hell's Gate. That was way easier doing it then it looked like. I did the Escalator. A little more difficult but made it after I got my front wheels unlocked from being stuffed into the wall. I then attempted the hot tub before Mickey's. The one with all that nasty water in the bottom. Didn't make much progress so I backed out.

 

@stumbles had the biggest balls and dropped into the biggest hot tub. 15ft vertical wall on the exit. Gave it a few attempts then backed out like a pro. word is one of the sassed tacos on 4ds didn't make it.

@Kyitty has a video

 

Bitchin Dude!

Gotta give it a shot and know when it isn't gonna happen.

 

This looks like the tub I tried. Except it had about 1 foot of water in the bottom. Which made my truck look like it had an oil leak the next day. There must have been a bunch of oil and other fluids in the water.


Edit: It looks totally different when you are in the hole.
