    Question for you guys. Would a Tundra be able to get around Moab ok or will the size of the truck work against it? I assume with all the trails available that you would likely have plenty of options. I remember running the broken arrow trail in Sedona and my Tacoma was as big and long as that trail could handle.

    I would say you'd be fine. It's very open out there. If you watch the videos you can see we had ample room on all of the trails.

    Cool...I'm at work and they block the videos. Wish I would have went. Sounds like it was a blast.

    @stronghammer here is where your spider gear broke, you can really hear it at around 2:55 in the video.

    I've basically uploaded all of my stuff. Justin and his sister, John and his wife, Bill, and then obviously Brian/Tanya haven't uploaded yet. They all had good cameras.

    I am converting all my video for the Top of the World right now. Trying to get it shorter, it is going to be over 43 minutes after the conversion.
    It is from the start of the trail to the end.

    Damn, I barely missed you guys. I passed through and stayed 3 days last week. I am not a big wheeler, but I think I could manage Hell's Revenge, at least the parts I have seen.

    Video was several hours long, it has been sped up to make it shorter (still long). A few of the harder places are ran at real time.

    That is so cool. I'm still in shock you got the timing of my spider gears breaking. Even though breaking sucks I like to look back when it happened. Really good video jeff

    Just took a while to go through

    I got the entire trail, I heard when your gears broke in the trail. The 1st pop was when you climbed that ledge just before where Bill was on the ground. You could not hear it on the video but I heard it on the trail. It's at the beginning of the one I posted titled "Scotty's spider gears"
