Moab March 2013

Here is a link to a few photos of my latest excursion. I went up with five rigs from Albuquerque (3 Cherokees, a JK, and a TJ). We did Hell's Revenge, Cliffhanger, Poison Spider--Golden Spike--Gold Bar Rim, and Moab Rim. Exciting stuff but didn't break the XK this time. As usual, the XK impressed the SFA boys. One fellow commented at the end of the trip, "I can't believe you didn't break!" (It wasn't quite true as I broke a taillight when I came down real hard once on the rear bumper.)

I'll work on getting some videos and pics up here.

Looked like a great time, love your XK and flex you have in this shot!! Epic! Are you running a sway bar or discos?

Thanks. I have JKS Quicker Discos. The front was disconnected also for the Cliffhanger run.

Im scared to look. I always get jealous when following one of your excursions.

Awesome pictures! I really want to go now.

Love the pics! Love that rear flex you got going on!

It was a really good trip! The group I was with was not into stopping much for pictures so we made good time on the trails. The Cherokees did really well but are pretty light in the rear end and get very tippy on the off-camber descents. We had one rollover and a couple of near misses in some dangerous spots (will get some video up soon!). I lost a bead (aired down to 15psi) on an off-camber section, right next to another rig that had been left overnight that appeared to have had the same thing happen. We swapped the spare w/o even using a jack (the Hi-Lift wouldn't have worked on that slope) by side-winching off the bumper to raise the wheel.

So envious of this it is not even funny.

Time to send off your wheels to OMF and have them switched over to beadlocks....

Looking forward to the videos

Nice rig and awesome pics!

Thanks for sharing Dave! Really miss wheeling with you and your gang.

Just now seeing this post - AWESOME stuff

We all need a SECOND Commander - to build up like this, and crawl like we mean it! :cool:

Here is video of the trip back down the ramp on Moab Rim. The XJ in front of me had a couple of near rollovers (at 6:00 & 8:20).
