    we usually try it hit right before EJS. We were a little close this year, but most we saw were 4 wheelers out on the trail and got to see a few of the factory concept wheelers rolling in early. Trails and areas are closing left and right, Moab is fast losing it's playground appeal with all the fun areas closing, but then again there is still PLENTY to do up there to make it worth the trip.

        I'm down

        I'll take you up on that offer.

        I've just moved down from rainy WA, any tips/requirements for tackling Moab? Ive got a stock '72 J4000 with D44's front and rear and the selectrac rear end.

            Excellent.

            I was beginning to think Moab was a no hitter.

            BhamFSJ, where are you located now? You can go some places in Moab with a stock rig but most trails demand some higher ground clearance. The positrack in the back will be helpful around Moab with 32-33" tires. With the flared fenders, you can go bigger tires on trucks than Waggys before you have to lift. Go through older posts from Moab section and see the pictures to give you an idea what kind of trails we get on there.

              I'm down in the Salt Lake City area now; Layton, UT to be specific. I'm hoping to get a trip down to Moab to hit Dome Plateau mid/late september to get my feelers out for the area. I've got an idea of how I'd like my build to go, but its all based on Washington State wheeling. Something tells me it's gonna be a bit different down here, haha.

              If anyone is interested in joining on a Dome Plateau run, lemme know via either PM or this thread. If we can get enough interest, I'll throw up a full blown thread dedicated to it!

                April sounds great, but I'm going to get mad if I do 3 years in a ROW without hitting slick rock. No more stupid narrow trails. (it was fun this spring though, just teasin). I had the best camping experience ever in my life this year, it was worth the rock rash I got on Hey Joe.

                          I would like to join and those dates look pretty good. Anyone want to show up a day or two early? It's a long drive to just hang out 3 days.
