The Coup de Grace was a Tuesday run of Moab Rim (again solo). Moab Rim has real exposure where a wrong move can send one plummeting over another large cliff. The obstacles are intimidating and challenging.
The Z-Turn:
The Overlook:
...and the return descent:
This was the best trip to Moab yet (my third) and I am really looking forward to the Ultimate Jeep Summit in May!

Sweet pics! Moab has always been on my bucket list of 4x4in' and mt.biking destination trips. Hopefully I'll get there sooner than later....
Thanks for sharing.
Love it.
You have an amazing XK, and I applaud your 4x4 talents. Amazing. If you walked into a room, I would stand and acknowledge your presence!
WOW bro that is sweet I've seen all those obstacles in countless videos and mostly JK's on 37-40" tires doing them it was pure delight to see a XK doing those trails just awesome. I'm sure seeing you out there is leaving an impression on the wheeler's as well and changing some perceptions they may have had about the commander.
and IFS Jeeps in general.
Great Pictures & looks like it was a blast. Can't wait until we get there in May

We definately cleared up some misconceptions. The IFS works very well but is the limiting factor in an XK--both clearance-wise and mechanically. Jamie says that the front CVs are the same size as his old Samurai axles!
The only really scary times were during offset drops of the front where one tire dropped before the other and things got real tippy. A lot more travel would have helped a lot. I have 12" of travel in the back, and mayby 6" in the front.
