Went to Moab for the weekend

White Knuckle doesn't look that bad from the front but then you see the pics from up on top and from the side and HOLY

Thems fightin' words. It's Antique Sage Pearl. You'd think a Lexus guy would know correct color terms.

thank you sir for defending the sage. troy show some respect please.

Are these the 78 inch sliders? Im assuming yes because they are the only weld on option. Im going to order some soon.

so adam did a solid job of posting some info about the trip. it was interesting leading a trail i'd never done before. Behind The Rocks is a unique trail in that all the obstacles are descents. (Up Chuck isn't really an obstacle for a locked 80) White Knuckle is indeed a huge drop but High Dive was a bit more exciting. The off-camber at the end is far more squirrley than white knuckle.

Much like Adam i was very happy with the Wild Yoats designed bumper. It suffered as much abuse on Behind the Rocks (because of my poor driving skills) than it will ever see elsewhere and it held up wonderfully. here are few pics...

a long line of cruisers

mr. yoats getting those pics we all love...

You're not Sage Pearl, you're Moonglow Pearl. 1B2 was only available on 1997 40th Anniv. edition.

I stand corrected as a tard.

Yes they are the extra-cab minitruck size. Just remember to gusset them a bit.

Awesome trail report!

Agreed, But I dont think it is quite as exciting in a 80 as it is in a 40 ;p

Besides I'm a WC outcast so I am lucky to get an invite myself. I gotta stop pissing people off or I will have start wheeling alone.

Outcast is a strong word.
I will however offer my apologies for anything I may have said in the past being a pnewb at the time and all, I rather enjoyed the last trail we ran....gotta watch out for the pick-ups
Once again looks like a great time!

thank you sir for defending the sage. troy show some respect please.

sorry, I really knew it wasn't silver, but I wasn't sure of the proper term. I Can't wait to get my next drivers license so I can put down Antique Sage Pearl for my hair color.

my face would have been that color too dropping off those ledges.


nice pics

No need to get all sappy. Nothing personal Brian, and I was being a bit fecitious.

well obviously a full bodied 80 and the short bus are prone to different lines. needless to say we took the more conservative approach. some buggies coming off of pritchett climbed it as we got there. impressive work.

Great pics!! Those look like some scary drop offs though.

I can't wait to get out there!

Yeah, definitely approach stuff like that with a bit more caution when you're in the wife's daily driver.;p Cool vids though.

 

[Tapage]

Huh? if you're asking how steep of a drop it is, well the last part of the ledge is pretty much vertical and probably 5' straight down.

Here's a pic of dmc standing at the base (on his tippy toes) for a sense of scale.

Damn !!!!! I thought I never gonna try ..

Man, I had forgotten how much rear air you got on that. I was just watching and it scared the crap out of me. Good thing I was wearing dark pants.

 

[buffethat@comcast.ne]

Great job on teh pictures and driving, I really like the last picture showing all the trucks coming down. Not to say the other shots weren't impresive, they were but the last shot just looks great to me.

Going to CM 007 can't wait to get my knuckles white again, 8 years later and a different rig. Should be a blast, thanks for getting my blood pressure up before bed
