Yep, I am going to be in Moab with my father. He just bought a new jeep wrangler and has never been wheeling so I am going to show him the ropes. I was thinking Fins N Things on Saturday, give me a call if you want to meet up (970) 987-1969.

I ended up just riding down with my father. I was planning on driving the FJ down so I could take him on a midnight in Hells run but 6 hours each way in separate vehicles with no passengers seemed silly. I'm sure a stock Wrangler Unlimited would make it through but he's inexperienced and apprehensive about incurring any trail damage.
It would be a great night for a run under a full moon. I believe most of the rental Jeeps in Moab are stock.

After today I have no doubt it would do just fine. The stock Unlimited Sport seems extremely similar to a stock FJ minus the rear locker. The traction control seems to work comparably to ATRAC but it is silent. Approach and departure angles are better than the FJ but the break over is worse, clearance is worse. Overall impressed but really missed the extra room of the FJ, two grown men in a wrangler will be rubbing shoulders all day. Articulation seemed nearly identical, everywhere my FJ lifts a tire the jeep does as well, I expect the sway bar disconnects on the Rubicons improve this greatly. The hill descent control works flawlessly, but it really takes the fun out of driving.
