I guess from what knappster posted about the temps....it looks pretty reasonable....or i guess easily survivable.
I was just going by what a few other were saying when we were standing around talking about it last year at WCCC.

I guess a more realistic question for those that have been there: Would rigs withwout a 4inch lift survive?...I have only seen trialbyfire, Kmax, Phunkey, and may be a couple others post photos of moab.... but i think they all had 4inch lifts or more, and 33-34 inch tire or so.
I am just guessing there would be damage expected to nearly every rig that went. it may be a small price to pay for an awesome gathering! lol

There are lots of runs you could do with a 2" lift. When I had my 2" RR lift and 245/70s, we did Metal Masher and Seven Bar Rim w/o too much dragging. Hoaxci had no problems on Fins and Things.

Me and the old lady would make a trip from Missouri for this.

I guess this video means that there are different levels of trails there.
I couldnt believe this!

Yes, that is a great video! He's on a fairly easy section of stock-friendly Fins and Things which appears pretty steep in the video due to the long lens.

There's a gazillion Crown Vic cop cars, so they must have something going for them.

It does seem out of place to see a family sedan out there, but from stories my mom & dad have talked about from their days in Trona CA, it was common to see a 1950's Bel Aire or even old Model T's miles and miles from anything. They'd ride a Harley in the Panamint Mountains. One time, they saw a brand new Buick with an old couple coming down a sand road, then going up a steep rocky hill. They stopped on the way by. They were full up with supplies and heading back to their mining camp in a shiny new (Then) 1960's Buick sedan.

You just never know...
