Actually as anyone that has been to Moab knows (particularly on the Poison Spider trail) that obstacle is very safe and is a good one for show as it's easy to get a wheel in the air without risking damage. Makes for a good picture spot though.

seems like one could -apparently- easily bash in the rear quarter panel on that rock if the truck rears up and goes sideways a bit...

Have you been on Poison Spider? Your tire is firmly wedged in the bottom of that crease, it's not sliding anywhere.

You could definitely. But doesn't happen all that often. It's a very slow speed obstacle.

This is true, which is why it's rare to take out your corner. However, I think you should try it and post pics if you do in fact hit your corner.

The sad thing is I rolled this very same truck (well put it on it's side) about 20' around the corner 8 months back.

I've torn loose both sides of the bumper but just keep patching them back, it looks like as much exposure as this rig gets that someone would sponser me a rear bumper.

Wowza...what pressure did that happen at? Almost looks like an explosive failure?

That spot on Steelbender is nothing. It looks a little worse than it really is in the photo. It is a pure head game. I don't even think I was driving my rig on that run, I think my friend Todd was driving down that obstacle. If you want excitement try turning around on Moab Rim under a moonlite sky at 1 AM. That will get your passenger's to walk down the trail. Or no left turn on Rusty Nail. That is a long drop. I have no pictures of that though. We did that with just one rig and my co-pilot had to spot me. I wasn't letting him dink around with the camera while spotting. I'm really really bummed I won't make it to Moab this year. I found the video of the Rusty Nail No Left Turn experience. You still can't see the edge though. Rocks do not make the best film crews. http://www.neverneversafarico.com/RustyNailMay06.wmv

OK I dug some up.
A couple of air shots on Golden Spike. Robbie aka Powderpig and my friend Creig in my old 91.
My 94 in CC. I bet I was at $50 per foot that day.

Hell's Gate CM 05 in the 91 no front locker and at this point I could see nothing but sky.
My friend Todd driving across the upper crack on Golden Spike after we did Rusty Nail May 06.
The end of the trail on Pritchett Cruise Moab 06. Imagine the looks on these guys faces when I pulled up in an 80. This was our group. I had more sq. ft. of body panels than the rest of them combined.

Rockchucker and Widowmaker on Metal Masher. That is a fun trail!
Scariest and wildest photo of all for me. What you don't see is that we just about slid off the edge of the road completely. It is like a 900 foot sledding trip the bottom. Gabe was riding co-pilot and all he had to say was, "I want something to eat, right NOW!" DC saved my hide. Although if he wouldn't have been so late maybe I wouldn't have been in such a hurry and slid off the road. He was nice enough to winch me back on the road.

Shotts, great pics. You have some serious approach and departure angles with those bumpers!
