UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

I have looked at them and little disappointed with the material they are made from ( poly canvas ) Rather than a mix like the ARB RTT (poly/cotton rip stop canvas - 300GSM PU impregnated canvas ) and the Arb tents you can pick them up with out shipping charge at < www.4wheelparts.com > better price because the Annex is included. the Hutch RTT is fine if you only go out a little and give it mild use.

 

If your in the SLC county area, watch for backcountry.com 20% off one item. You can call them to apply it to a Tepui and local pick up from their West valley warehouse to save on the freight, I did that on a Kukenam and was out the door around $1200 ish

 

Same deal for REI

 

I'm surprised REI sells RTT they donate a ton of money to groups who try and block land access to 4x4s

 

True. But the average campground dwelling RTT equipped subaru doesn't need 4x4 access.

Plus I'd say REI doesn't specifically have it out for 4x4ers. Just a lot of their money goes to outdoors groups, whose conservation platforms/models happen to restrict motorized access.

 

Soooooo, everyone still in for a trail run/camping trip during January? I've been looking at hole in the rock trail. Thoughts/ideas?

 

If a stock tacoma can make the trail I have nothing better going on in my life. Plus I am new to utah and it might be good to meet some folks

 

Awesome! The last time I was on the trail (why I want to run in now) was when I was a boy scout in the early90's (pre drivers license). I have read a few recent trip reports of stock jeeps and stock land rovers running it no problem. But I have been wrong in the past i.e. "A stock Subaru should have no problem with a little rock stacking".

Any other ideas for a trip from others? @DJB1 @H3llRid3r @SCHALICKE @Rockymtntacoma @anyotherfolksintoatrailride?

 

Hey guys Im from the East coast NS and Im going to Denver/Vegas/Arizona to see the Maple Leafs play those three teams in February. I am looking for suggestions of places to stay and see on my way back from Arizona to Denver (I'll be driving). I have a couple days to get back so Im looking to see some stuff and I love history and that type of stuff also. Thanks

 

Destroyed a factory tire out past dugway today with expedition utah. Was an awesome day.

 

Welcome to Utah. I'm a recent transplant too. Where you at here?

 

You were out past dugway? How far, I was out shooting around davis mountain road. I spend alot of time just wondering out there on the weekends

 

If you’re traveling I-15 thru SW Utah in the St George area, lots of places to camp, but I e also got several spare rooms, you’re welcome to crash there.

 

Thanks I was not aware it gets so cold there (yes Im an idiot I should know this as an adult) but that might change a few things up. Looking up stuff now and it looks awesome

 

I was not aware that part of utah would have been considered dugway, I thought you ments south of the base toward simpsons spring and such

 

I'm pretty new to the area and saw signs to dugway when we left the highway. It might be just me

I was totally going to suggest this trail. I’ve never done it but read a bit about it. I’m totally down. When are you thinking?

There is a Southern Utah jamboree this month. Don’t recall the exact dates. I’ll check into it.

Edit: winter4x4jamboree.com. Unfortunately, it’s January 17, 18, 19. That doesn’t work for me. Looks cool though.

 

LOL! The classic Suby reference. You’re never going to live that one down. It must have been one hell of a Subaru. I’m picturing 35” tires on a Subaru LMAO.
