Here Wade is coming down Lion's Back. Pretty scary after watching
a Jeep slip down the entire steep part. We managed to avoid any breakdowns until the last day. This Suzuki broke down on the way home,
forcing us to spend another night in Green River.
Here is Scott
coming down a ledge on the Steel Bender trail. He gets a lot
of flex with those Old Man Emu springs and disconnected sway bars. Next on
his list is an ARB air locker.
Mike lifts a wheel for a picture in a hot tub at the top of Moab Rim.
Mike had a slight problem with his driveline flange when we first arrived
but quickly had it fixed in time for our first run on Golden Spike (what a trail to start us newcomers out on!). The
weather was very good all week long. It did get a bit windy from time to
time on top of the ridges.
Here is Clark in his 78 Ford Bronco. This was quite a scare seeing
as how there is a 100 foot drop just to his right. This vehicle also suffered some major problems on the last day. The entire rear end fell
apart; broken blocks, bent U-bolts. We had to head home before he had gotten it fixed. He is probably still there.
We were all quite frankly amazed that Justin didn't brake anything
spinning his wheels, bouncing and hopping off just about every difficult obstacle. It's always fun to watch other people brake down though as long as you don't have to help repair it.
If you have never been to this event I suggest you make plans to be there next year. On Big Saturday, the highway patrol shuts down highway 191 while almost
2,000 4x4's parade out of town to their trails. It's getting bigger and bigger every year.
We had two roll-overs on our first day with the Zukfari. We also witnessed a
pretty bad roll-over on Potato Salad Hill as well. There are about 25 trails surrounding the Moab area. This year we did Golden Spike, Moab Rim,
Metal Masher, and Steel Bender. After the Saturday lineup, we decided to go visit
Arches National Park.
