    Some more shots of Hell's Gate. I was the first one up and picked a wrong line and almost rolled it on its side (twice).








    I went back a second time and cruised it.

    I don't have the front sway bar disconnected so I lift a front tire all the time. The problem was that the rear passenger tire was too high on the wall. Once I backed down a ways and reset about 1-ft to the drivers side, it went smoothly.

    Why not disconnect? I have been doing it for a while with great success!

    I've been meaning to experiment with disconnecting the front (I do disconnect in the rear) but I wasn't ready to try it in Moab as you do not want to unload on the off-camber sections up there!
