Nasty Nati Mobbin' in Moab 2019! (July 6 - July 20)

You'll drag on most places in Moab without a lift. A lot of incline and decline coming up and down. You could do tons of all the easier trail stuff, but I wouldn't look to do Hells Revenge, Top of the World, or any moderately difficult rated trail without a small lift unless you want to remove your bumper.

 

AT's were great out there. No need for MT's. Good thing about Moab is if you want to go around hard stuff you can, you don't have to hit it. As far as the Kia, I believe that Kia has electronic lockers right? Mostly flex is what you're going to need to get up that stuff because one side is going to be all the way up in your fender well almost at al times. Traction wouldn't be a problem. If you don't have enough clearance and flex trying to strattle it, then you're just going to be laying on your side against the rocks.

 

There is enough to keep you busy for over 3 months

 

Devils Bathtub was cool. The exit was way steeper than pictures do justice but the pit was just big enough to level the truck out before going back up. AT's in 4 low climbed right out without barking a tire for traction.

 

Did you try Mickey's hot tub?

 

Not sure if I seen that one. Seen an other tub, can't remember the name, but there was no way I was getting down and back up the other side of it. Was perfect size for a RZR or a SXS or short wheel base to get down in for a good climb out but I would've dragged the rear bumper off no question, or would still be sitting there on my front and rear bumper with the tires off the ground.

This could be the same one you're talking about. I'm not sure

Don't think I seen that one or paid attention to where it was. This one looked even more narrow than that one but it's really hard to tell how steep junk is on video. This one was semi close to Devils Tub

 

When we were at Hell's Revenge it was sprinkling rain on and off, made things interesting

 

Here is one of the videos I did at Hell's Revenge

I say rain would definitely make it a little hairy. Especially when you're almost through by the escalator and the trail comes close to that cliff lol. I loved going over devils backbone when the trail first starts there. Wish I had my drone out going over it. I need to go through my video. Got some of a few jeeps on 35's climbing some things.

 

Also that hill there at 7:08 was pretty sweet. Sucker feels straight down off a bluff while you're topping it. It's pretty steep lol.

 

At edge at Poison Spider Mesa was all that bothered me, this video show how close you get. This was just one place we had to get close to the edge.

That is Dragon's Tail

 

Didn't get to do Poison Spider Mesa but you did look hella close there.

 

Did this part of Engineer Pass, in the dark, coming opposite way of this guy. I know what ya mean by sketchy. You're hugging the wall here and it is beyond straight down on the other side. Starts getting really sketchy around the :50 second mark of this vid. Just wide enough for your tires with hardly any extra room around some of those spots. A lot worse looking when you're there on the trail lol.

Was the left side there just too steep of a drop?

Watching these vids and mentally picking the dirty five lines

 

Yes sir, I would not have been that close to the edge if there was another way for sure.

I have several videos on my YouTube.
