If you're not in Moab come on out. In the past there has been a timed race around the Gauntlet.
I'll be there with the family from Friday until Monday. If we're not in the XJ, we'll be @ the bus. Hope to see some familiar faces.
-
Every year I have wanted to make it out to this. I can't make it again this year but hope it's a good turnout.
-
I have yet to announce this and I have got to do something now.
I will be holding a raffle for a set of RCV axle shafts at this event. You could win almost any front axle. So a Dana 60, 44, 30, toy, 14 bolt front, ECT. Only 4340....300m is avaliable for an additional cost if you win.
1 ticket for $20 or 6 for $100. That's a pretty good ROI if you win.
There will also be a chassis for raffle there as well.

Of all the times I've been, I've never had a issue with them.

Are there enough easy trails? I can do all the easy trails at AOP, if it helps compare.

There are easy trails and bypasses everywhere, but it's a small park. Even smaller when you ignore 50% of it. Should be fun to people watch on the bigger stuff though

Surprisingly yes. They could use a good bleaching and pressure washing, but work just the same without

Was it you that said "We managed to get 13 hours of driving in a 2 hour Park" ?

I didn't roll on the floor, but it's still just dirty for something that's "maintained"
Would be better off having outdoor stalls with a shower head. If you make a building with locking doors and a flushing toilet, clean them

It's partly a joke. Part of the group who puts this event on cleans them. The Morris brothers don't. Should I think they maintain it some, yeah. They own an AR manufacture with government contracts that they focus on.

To answer your question there is a bunch you can do in a stock rig. The first two time I went my WJ had 2" spacers on 31's. We went all over but did need to take several bypasses.

Fixed it for you. Hopefully the damage isn't too severe and you can get it fixed quickly.
I have to go to court Friday morning. I'll load everything up Thursday night and we'll hit the road as soon as I get home. Hoping to be there sometime mid afternoon Friday.

New gears, bearings, and arb line should be good. Mostly street driving so I don't know why they backed out yet.

Just weld it back together. Clamp it with vice grips and give it a good pass :)

He's going to a ton an ls swap at some point.
We had to go through this freaking mud whole. Now I didn't get as dirty though. We tried hammer down like 10 times to get up it but couldn't.
He worked on it for a while but didn't make v. Disnt have the belly clearance to make it.

Fisher house. https://www.fisherhouse.org/
They can tell you where your money goes exactly. A little over 90% of donations are donated back out. I was told of a story back in 07 or 08 that couple soldiers died when the government was shut down. They stepped up and covered the solider life insurance the government would have paid, and they were already operating in the red that year. They do stuff for individual people and have a Ronald McDonald type houses as well but called fisher houses were vets and family members can stay when needed.
I think the money we raised last year helped put in a concrete ramp to a guys house.
I raffle a set of rcv off for it. J duck built a chassis for the event that was bought buy a member on here.
