Okay, with Cruise Moab coming up I am constantly thinking through my setup and I'm feeling like things are coming together but I know I will have questions that are specific to how I approach the wheeling in Moab, which I have never done. So here goes:
Current Rig Status:
275/65/18 Duratrac E Rated on 2016 OEM Wheels with 1.25" Spacers
2" OME NitroCharger Lift ('03 & '23 springs)
SPC UCA's
Diff-Drop
12k lbs Winch on Trail Tailor Hidden Winch Mount
CB and HAM (CB is Required)
Full Recovery Setup (straps, soft shackles, D Shackles, Kinetic rope)
ARB Compressor
Rear LCA and shock armor
Fire Extinguisher (Required)
Carista ODBII Interface
SafeJack 6 Ton Bottle Jack w/ Baseplate, Extension and Adapters
ARB Tire Repair Kit
ARB Front Recovery Points
Trail Tailor Rear Recovery Points
On Order:
BudBuilt Rock Sliders - Kicker and Diamondplate
ARB Skids
What am I missing or not thinking of? Anything I should be thinking about specific to Moab that my current setup will not work for? Is going to a 305/65/18 Ridge Grappler going to make a huge difference for this kind of trip? My Duratracs have a lot of life left in them, but if a 32.1" tire is going to be a limiting factor vs the 33.6" tire maybe that's where I need to make an upgrade before the trip. Any need to proactively upgrade rear links and whatnot? All thoughts are welcome. I'm sure this thread will be helpful to anyone who is headed there for the first time.
