UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Yes they're doing their job. Thanks again - life saver. Night and day difference. Never ended up bedding them though lol.

 

hey guys, im from Seattle area and im going to be heading down to the Mojave in March, im trying to decide if i want to just go through CA or go more east and come down and through Utah. and see the Valley of the gods, Grand Canyon and Zion. anyone have recommendations? i got about 3 days to sit and play in Utah

 

Do it. Dont pass up on the opportunity. March is a good time to drive through Southern Utah

 

depends on how far "east" you want to go. "Valley of the gods" will be cool but it is quite the detour. but at the same time you could hit up moab area (arches, canyonlands, sand flats rec area [this is where famous jeep trails are]). Also would be able to hit monument valley. if you're that far east, you could probably hit up parts of lake powell as well. pop on down to the grand canyon from there. but it is quite a bit of driving. you'll probably eat up most of your 3 days just driving.

if you want to hit up southwest Utah, you could hit up bryce national, capitol reef, and zion. Bryce and Zion are really close to each other. st george's snow canyon state park is pretty cool as well. Doing this route might afford you some more time in said places.

 

I believe the guy putting it together already took care of all the set ups because we have our spots for both areas

 

Unfortunately he isnt i was trying o convince him to come

 

Just plan on getting to Zion early as balls in the AM to beat the crowd. Wont be so bad as in the summer but youre getting into spring break timeframe

 

I’m interested.

 

A few weeks ago I got a set of 4 new tires I went with the Falken Wildpeaks 265/70/17 should I spend the money and get the matching spare or am I fine with the stock?

 

Id get the matching spare. I went up a size too and had this same debate. You can get away with the factory spare, but if your flat is on the back, youll need to pull one of the fronts, put it on the back, then put the spare up front. It also would take out your 4wd ability because the system cant handle a different sized tire safely when all 4 have power..

 

avalanche course starting tomorrow...large storm coming in tomorrow...great timing.

 

Get your real life experience, training and possibly hero merit badge all in one day.

 

OK class, grab your stuff, your exercise...isn't

Just remember, probe soft for friends, probe hard for enemies

 

What about frenemies?

 

Hard to find, soft to confirm

 

Yesterday was a good day ... saw a red Bentley Continental GT near @Gunshot-6A ’s house, then came out from dinner to an R8 parked behind me. I expect they’re both headed back into hibernation with the storm coming in.

 

Hey! That's r&r/tsunami in Lehi! My stomping grounds!

 

Nailed it! Met up with some friends at R&R and loaded up on some brisket.

 

What is R&R/Tsunami?....is that a restaurant?

 

R&R is some great bbq, my 2nd favorite brisket in the state with Bam Bams taking the top prize.

Tsunami is a pretty good sushi place from what I hear.
