UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

I would suggest taking off from Panquitch and heading over Hells Backbone to Escalante. You can camp in the Petrified Forest. From there you can take the Burr Trail. Call and see if the ferry across Lake Powell is running or just go north to Moab. You can hit Dead Horse point and drive on Shaffers Trail. Do some Google earth’ing and see exactly where to go.

 

Funny not funny, I cracked the bed on my former 2nd gen ratcheting down a cooler.

 

LAKE POWELL FERRY CROSSING
Water levels are too low to run the ferry. We have no date for future runs as water levels are not anticipated to recover this spring.

This was about 10 years ago, after loading at Hall's Crossing:


The pink line is my breadcrumbs

 

Yeah, I thought that might be the case but threw out the suggestion anyway since someone may search this up at a later date.

 

Gonna go ahead and add that one to the list.

Lazy J in Payson is quite good to.

 

A ferry - Sweet, hope its running Appreciate the input and good karma back at you..

 

Dam, now i see its not running. This drought is ridiculous. Idaho is super dry, with little snow again - had the second driest February in history. Looks like a long fire season ahead (the new "5th" season of the year is "Fire Season")

 

If it's not running maybe you can drive across?

I know that from the boat launch in Hite you can't even see any water.

 

Google Earth shows water on the crossing (I dont know date of photo) but i will check it out when i get to the area because its been so dry - Thx

 

I suppose it’s all done as sacrifice for weight, and to improve mileage.

 

Lake Powell is likely not gonna be open this year at all. here's a set of recent photos that'll blow your mind. click through. it's not looking good.

 

Any Issues with passing emissions in Utah with a fuel cell? I know in California that was a grey area. You might be able to use the stock sending unit and gas cap and sometimes they will pass you.

 

I haven't ran this truck through utah emmisions. They generally look for a sealed system that holds pressure without any check engine lights for "evap leak" codes.

The stock sending unit is only used for fuel level gauge and the OEM gas cap would be some work to fit on to a fuel cell but might be able to be done. I transfer over the oem fuel pump assembly into the fuel cell to retain OEM reliability and off the self parts if anything fails down the road.

 

As quick as every shop does the emissions that I've been to, I'm shocked they'd notice. Last place had my truck in and out before I even sat down in the waiting area.

 

@concentric_killa, any update on your 3D project? I think you were making new headlights, but can’t remember for sure.

 

I haven’t been in a while. I want to say it was cleared out last year. Not as exciting as it one was.

 

I actually just got home from a month long work trip overseas. I need to order the headlights I want to use and then build my model around those. It might get put on the back burner though.

I need some new tires and want to upgrade to 17's. I have been looking at the method 307's (bronze, bead grip). Might do my tire wheel upgrade before spending $1000 on headlights that will eventually be used on the truck lol.

I still need to print some parts for my printer to finally 'complete' it.
