After finishing HITR trail we parted ways with the group of new friends and headed to Moab for a couple days on the slickrock trails there followed by a couple days exploring Arches National Park then out through canyonlands via elephant hill and beef basin on our way back south through bears ears headed back toward i40 and eventually east and home.
But first things first i have a ujoint going out and concrete has a blown rear pinion seal. I had a pinion seal in my spares that he used to button up his rig but somehow I've packed two front driveshaft ujoint spares. Ugh.
Rolling around in a Utah credit union parking lot cursing my fate and trying to source a joint locally i hear the phone ping. Its beno.... dudes, where are you?
Somehow when we last parted he left in an opposite direction for another state yet is somehow cruising in to town shortly and tells me he will deliver me a ujoint within the hour. Folks, this is the type of LC service you just cant find anywhere else.
Repairs 5 and 6 complete, we are now set to explore for a few days; and what a time it was !
Ive been to moab a few times but always on a Mtn bike. The traction and terrain is insane and we were pumped at what all the 80s could accomplish here
But were admittedly a little deflated when this guy passed us in a stock beater ford LOL
Did you vote in the jerry can poll thread?
Sure you dont need them every time but when you need one, and esp in BLM BFE, then youre damn glad you have one. Actually the second time it was utilized but first time was on HITR donating to a poor jeep driver on fumes a few hours from blacktop.
Same can be said for the spare tire! While a repair kit is handy to have it has its limits :/
All fixed up and done with the playground that is mainstream Moab we start the long journey home by heading out through canyonlands. Some of the most incredible scenery ive witnessed to date in 30 years of traveling
