Dan,
The 100 does not have a DC in either DL. I am going to try to swap Ali's front DC DL to see what affect it has...

I hope this is IT for an effing while.
But the work did enable me to do: Hole in the Rock Trail, Beef Basin, Lockhart Basin/Canyon, Canyonlands, Moab, Hells Revenge, Steel Bender, Bull Canyon, White Rim Trail and more. Thank God for getting to wheel it post repair expense: Don't think there is enough tequila available otherwise  . |
OUCH!
So am I to assume this happened on the road somewhere down in that area of those famed trails?
Bitchin reward for the money spent, but sucks.
Is it pretty easy to make that rig part time 4WD?
So where are the pics of the runs?

WOW! that second pic is some AMAZING scenery!
I cant wait to wheel that area some day.
Did you lock up in the "hot tub", or is traction as good as they say it is?

Keith: I ran most trails with the front locked. 100's are not as balanced as 60/80 (lighter front / heavier rear) so I used my front locker typically when 80's were rear locked.
Traction is very impressive...which allows scaling those crazy angles!
The middle pic is looking south towards Lockhart from the White Rim Trail.
We covered alot of ground...but even at that I'm already trying to figure out how to get back to Utah for more

The traction out there is incredible, it's like being a fly or something.

Did you Summit that section?
That looks SOOOOPER gnarly from all of the pics I had seen.
Was that Cruise Moab that you did?
Ive gotta get out there one of these days...preferably when Vortec powered.

Yes. I have been very very happy with the capabilities of the 'SpressoWagon on all the trails I've done on this trip. Steel Bender was harder; especially in the rain & mud.
And Keith: You have to put Hole in the Rock Trail on your list of to do's: 34.5 miles each way...and it never lets you relax too much . Better yet let's all do it together!

We're going to check out areas about 3-4 hours south of ABQ this week. Hopefully will have pics to post with KK in tow.

A few more from White Rim Trail...
The first pic is taken above and looking down upon the trail we travelled; the picture was taken from the top of Shafer Switchbacks. This trail, like many we drove, is not for the height/edge/ledge challenged!

Yeah MAN!
Doin some gnarly SHATT there Spresso. Looks like a BLAST!
Thanks for posting up the pics. Making me very jealous. What AMAZING scenery to boot.
Cant wait to get out and do some wheeling. Possibly this weekend!
How long are you down there for?
Im thinking that Rubicon should be next on your list!
