    We went to Moab last Tues and got back today. It was one of the most amazing places I've ever seen and the trails were awesome. We did Fins & Things, Hells Revenge, Elephant Hill, Steel Bender and a couple small ones in the Tacoma. I went with a friend on Poison Spider, Golden Spike and Gold Bar Rim in his 03 Jeep Rubicon. The Tacoma did great on the other trails but not setup for the tougher trails yet. Damage was front bumper cover, skid plate dented, dent on the drivers rocker and torn dust boot cover on drivers front axle. The second to last picture is the Escalator. A guy in a dirt bike tried it but hit the second step and came to a dead stop. I got up there and the guy's hips were on the handle bars and his face was against the wall. He was Ok but pride was hurt.

    What trails did you do? I thought Elephant Hill was going to be more difficult but the major obstacles had cement on the rock to control erosion so they were pretty easy.

    I did fins and things and then pretty much everything off the 191 towards the 70. I had a toddler with me and friends in a relatively stock xtterra so we kept it easy for the most part.

    We had my 2 daughters 3 years and 18 months so we had to be safe also. They had a great time and kept encouraging us on the harder stuff.
