You have a PM!

 

My 3 tons are fawked
6 ton not the same number
I’m tempted to throw them away anyway

 

Seems like mostly a user error... How do you use your jack stands? My mechanic friend summarized it best:

 

Fuck, I have a set of the recalled ones. Used the shit out of them.
Guess it wasn't my time to go.

 

Mine weren’t affected by the recall but it’s not too late for it to be expanded.

 

We should have a Taco meet in the Harbor freight parking lot
Ya think they’d have enough room?

 

Has anyone done the Rimrocker route from Montrose to Moab? Looks pretty cool.

 

It is. @mountainmonkey and I ran that a few years ago. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a more scenic route to Moab on the dirt. I don't think I ever put it in 4wd.

I wrote it up in like 6 parts in my build thread if you're interested.

 

My only concern is the river crossing. This is a pic from a week ago but the website says there are ways to bypass. Will call tomorrow to get more info.

 

@Littles and I did it in October so that crossing was a trickle at best.

 

I just ran rimrocker this past weekend. I love that route, it's super cool. The river crossing was a bit much but there is a very easy detour that will only take a few minutes in order to get around it. I have been there in May before and the river is very low, so if you're not planning on doing it for a couple weeks it is very possible you'll be fine.

 

After further research It looks like a super simple bypass, just hop on 141 for two miles and then get back on the trail.

 

So you say it was a bit much - did you attempt it? How deep and swift is it?

 

I had it rush over the hood of my 3" lifted Tundra when I ran it. It was a short enough crossing that the factory air box with fender liners intact didn't allow any water entry. If you were to become stuck or progress to slowly it could have been an issue. No major rocks or ruts were present when I did it but that was 4 years ago.

 

That’s nuts, I’ll just take the detour...lol

 

BORING

 

I'd send it…



in your truck.

It was flowing at 1400 cfs at that point. Yesterday it was at 50 cfs.
