    Ha... My bad...

    I got some Moab Pin stripes when we were down there, on an otherwise flawless paint job and I've got plenty of underbody scars... Dent in the gas tank, dent up front. dents on sliders etc. Not sure I'm really game for some sheet metal crunches... I'll do everything I can to prevent those.

    As for the crack... I've watched just about every You Tube video of it. And read alot on it... Definitely need to be locked up front (from the looks of things)

    And I'd definitely want Todd As my Spot, and a strap on all four corners

    Thumbs up The Golden Crack

    This is a Great shot from "Swordy" Gallery, it's one of the pics in my screensaver.


    Quote from Swordy "A pic of what is likely the most well known obstacle in western, if not all of the USA. This one is so fun you just have to turn around and do it again!"

    If you do the crack make sure you've got something to protect your tail end. I watched Swordy cross it a few years ago and remember his hitch dragging big time (though it prevented his cladding from becoming a thing of the past).

    That is AWESOME!!

    Is he locked?

    That is too cool.

    I don't think I'll be doing the crack anytime soon... but maybe next year's get together.

    I wish there was video.

    WHAT!! Todd is not the only seasoned wheeler out there who can spot people..

    Rich!! When you coming down? I got the new tread on and am ready to go.... I see Poison Spider, Golden Spike, Gold Bar in our very near future.

    Yeah yeah... And Darrin/Crager... I didn't mention you cause you'd take me up on it

    Really though you tell me when I should come down... When would work for you to hit up a couple trails. I can come down basically any weekend after the 21st (brother getting married)

    I have a brother with a Hummer H3 that wants to come down too... So if you can spot us both on even the easiest of easy trails we'll come down. We need to learn how to spot/drive so we can go on our own on the trails around here. Send me a PM/Email with a date and I'll get it worked out... I really am Antsy to go.
