Salt Lake City, Utah Meet and More

[taylorRichie]

You'd be better off renting a car for $30/day and driving it out... 6 hours or so

Torn CV Boot, found it today I'm trying to get parts, and time to replace it before the meet... Very very very bummed today

[kodiak]

That sucks! CV boot replacement should be part of the suspension lift process. It’s seems to happen a lot right after a lift.

Yeah, with the time Todd scheduled I would say breakfast is off and we're all meeting at the "trailhead" in the canyon with powdered donuts... mmm, powder donuts...

Breakfast at Denny's 106 s I 15 at 7am.

Perfect! Todd, Since you know the trail and such... what time do you think we should meet up that allows us to get to a good camp spot at a good time?

If you are camping Friday I would recommend Dutchman where we are going to meet at 9:15 or so. If you are staying Saturday then it doesn’t matter, what ever is open. I don’t recommend any of the camps between Tibble Fork Reservoir and Dutchman but anything up from there is OK just what ever is open.
Bring my antenna please.

I'll be there... A bit early for me, so bear with me if I'm a bit sleepy

Thanks again Todd!! were it not for you I probably wouldn't be able to make it.

Brittany, Me, my brother and his H3, possibly a Buddy with a 4 Runner.

Is anyone camping anymore? Doesn't look like I will be

[kodiak]

I’ll be there! I had my VX inspected yesterday, I’m getting a not ready code on my computer? I removed my battery and cleaned it before the inspection. I need to drive around a little to clear the code. Then I’ll head back and get my sticker. My sister’s boyfriend is proposing to my sis at a barbeque at noon. So I won’t be able to head up the trail with you. My future brother in law owes me one!

[kodiak]

Unfortunately.

So Richard, you are only going to be joining us for breakfast then? Just making sure I follow you...

[kodiak]

I had a really good time at breakfast yesterday, sorry I couldn’t do the trails with you. Did the H3 keep up with you OK?

[taylorRichie]

It was a lot of fun... and nice meeting you... Too bad they didn't have a larger booth

Trail was pretty good... Definitely good learning for me No issues and only a couple times where I needed a spot... (amateur).

H3 did just fine... Once Justin (my brother) put it in 4 Lo, he was doing the trail in 4 high for a while and actually making it up a few challenging obstacles.

Todd Showed us how beneficial his front ARB is by going up a tough part of the Rock garden to mineral basin. Then Justin (zeus) did it with his open diffs. Took a few tries and some strategic rock stacking but he made it... And that was the "toughest" part of the rock garden. Neither me or my brother (H3) tried the Obstacle though.

Hindsight, probably should have.

Might join the U4WDA on August 2nd and go for mineral basin. Not totally decided.

All in all, good ride, not too scary and a good pay off (forest lake). Got alot of stares, inquiries (what is that?) and a few compliments.

Thanks again Todd!

So, who got the pics???

[taylorRichie]

Ask and you shall receive

Very fun trail.

[nfpgasmask]

Nice pics, Richie, where are the rest? I forgot to bring my camera to work so I will post afterward. Good trip though and no breakage or body damage. Used my sliders a few times though! Then I stopped at Cabela's on the way out and bought a shotgun for home defense and the Elko trip!

Looks like you guys had fun. Gorgeous country over there. What type of shotty did you pick up, Justin?

Nice...looks nice and green! We have lots of rocky riverbeds like that here minus all the greenery!
