Thanks John! I’m ready for summer wheeling! I’m sure you are too 🤘😑🤘

Amazing video! I just got back to CT from visiting a friend in Moab. We flew into Denver and drove old gold mines area firt road, then hit Telluride and off to Orvis natural hot springs( clothing optional). Then off to Moab Utah to hit Arches national park, canyonlands and many local spots. On Thursday which was 2 days ago we rented a can am 4 seat turbo UTV to bring 3 women I was with. We did Hurrah pass to chicken corners and Kanes creek, then had just enough time to hit Baby's Lions Back, devils pass and a few others. I'm a East coast guy so it was my first time in the Rockies. I can tell you this, if you haven't been, put all that on your bucket list. It changed my outlook on life and the people are amazing. Their not super huge fans of out of towners but they are always willing to help no matter what. Thanks for this video as the girls go so scared their videos kept going off when they freaked out lol. You can do 1/2 day 5hr rental, or full 10hr, or 24hr rentals. They are only about 40.00 difference between them.

Yes sir! There’s a lot of campsites along that Sand Flats road that are really great and your are right next to Fins and Things and Hell’s Revenge! Can’t beat it!

This was a fun trail- very short but starts out extremely steep. Easily as steep as anything I did on Hell's Revenge only much shorter. It's a good warm up.

😂 I just watched your little baby FJ cruiser coming down that Moab slick rock!! Haha that was awesome! Tires had great traction throughout the descent! Looks like it may have came down hard on the front bumper

Can't wait to get out there this summer! Planning on doing Fins and Things, Hell's Revenge, Elephant Hill and possibly Top of the World. A stock JLUR should be able to handle those trails right? The most experience we have in Moab in particular is stopping and checking out Gemini Bridges on our way from Vegas to Ouray last year.

Heck yea! You will be fine. I think your rig has 33s? I haven’t run Top of the World but probably will soon. I don’t think you will have an issue. Hells Revenge has enough bypasses you can take if you need to. Fins and Things won’t be a problem. There are a couple rocky sections on Elephant Hill that will just require some spotting and careful driving but I wouldn’t hesitate to take your rig on any of those trails. - Geoff

@@Colorado4x4 yeah the KO2 33's the rubicon came with. It is a diesel, which actually sits about an inch higher than the gas rubicon's. I figured we'd be good, and if anything gets messed up it'd be the bumpers which need to be replaced anyway🤣

Oh nice! A diesel! I’m jealous!!!! You got everything you need to do these trails. I think the hardest spot on Elephant Hill is that tight turn south of Devils Kitchen. There’s some bigger rocks there but you will be fine. You might need your lockers climbing back out of the canyon but that’s about it. I would camp at Devil’s Kitchen. It’s so cool. Check out my Elephant Hill video as it shows pretty much everything. Hells Revenge is one of my favorite trails. You shouldn’t need lockers on it at all. Just disconnect your sway bar, air down and go!!!

How did you like it? Did you do Shafer, Long Canyon and Chicken Corners too? If not, return and hit those easy but scenic trails and many other more challenging trails.

@@MOAB-UT we did Fins and hells first, then did a sunset rid on Long canyon. Next day we did elephant hill and steel bender. Tucked tail at the fall because my stock rubicon wasn't having any of that lol. Last day we dropped our trailer at the top of the world trailhead and ran it. Then got back on the road to Montrose. Can't wait to get back out there and do many many more in the area. OnX is a fantastic resource for the trails. Chicken Corners is definitely on the list, and Elephant Hill will be a must do again but exit Bobbys hole.

Nice!!! That would be a sweet rig. My buddy in high school had one and we loved it. I had a TM281 in my old Tacoma and my older Jeep and loved it but I wanted dual band so I went with the TM-V71A. It’s been pretty good. Would you know of a shorter antenna just for buzzing around town? I found you on qrz and went to your website. Looks like you do SOTA. I love talking to those guys on simplex in the summer time when they’re out and about! It’s always a good time! Do you hang out on any repeaters? I can give you a shout sometime. - Geoff N0GFS

You may have some ground clearance issues in the trails up top. I'd lift it, pull front and rear bumpers a and weld up some cages for front and rear and a lift never hurts.

Is the water near the end navigable in a stock f150?

It can be deep depending on how much it has rained. I would be more concerned with the bed hanging up on the last drop before the water though. That is going to cause you some issues with the long wheelbase and bed

I would park at the start of the fin and hike around the side to the back of the fin so that you can take a look at what your challenge is and then come up with a game plan on what line would work best. That way when you are descending you know what route you want to take. You can either drive straight or turn to the left. I believe the left side is steeper and has more break over

I didn't have a spotter or recovery support with me, so I did a 3 point turn before that last drop-off into the water crossing. Going back down is fun too, was completely empty when I was there so no traffic issues.
