All of my Moab pics are in my photobucket library. For some reason, only 11 pics were put into the "moab 2013" folder. All the other pics are scattered in my library.

Awesome pictures Amy/Jon, thanks for posting! Working on editing mine tonight.

Glad you folks didn't post this last set of photos first. I wouldn't have continued to look. No way I will subject my car to any of those latest climbs or "cracks". Just a leisurely drive through the back country is my max. If I have to fix it in the field I shouldn't have been in that field. Thanks for the pictures, they are fantastic.

That's what I LVE so much about my Moab Fam. Whatever, whenever, wherever...everyone pitches in with parts/hands/tools/or perspiration, to get our Fam member in trouble, back to civilization (tha stoop).
Never a member of the Isuzu "Moab Mafia" has ever been left behind...

Just a Leisurely drive to the mall....

"The wall"...Steelbender ( Kitty canyon!!)...Moab, Utah.

Huge props to Eric & Amy for catching these images...

That first one with both rear tires not touching is awesome....and slightly scary.... Anyone have video?

Bart

[JoFotoz]

Yea.it was a tad scary!!

Usually on the wall you only have time to think..."OH SH.." ..and youre down!
But its erroded away even more at the bottom...

So now its .."Oh $h*T, I'm still dropping"..... then yer down!!

Thanks goodness I had the Rock Bumper on...or the front of the VX would be FLAT!

Many trails are WAY tougher than previous years, lots of undercutting of walls from tires digging in, and plenty of errosion from rain/water run off.

Makes it interesting doing trails you 'think' you know!

Jo

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, I will say without reservation that I would not do that in my VX. But you're Line-Xed now, so the ORW is now indestructible.

Unreal what these vehicles are capable of in the hands of a skilled driver. Literally going over a cliff. Literally.

That second shot is a great view of the hood scoop, Jo. Do want.

[JoFotoz]

A few have indicated interest in the scoop...

...will probably do a limited run for sale, in a month or so.

It was scary watching it. There is a drop of about 100 ft or so directly to the right. When the rear wheels lifted the back end shifted in that direction. 2nd time that day I thought Jo was going to go over. First was "The Wall" when he lifted the front end and went slightly sideways.

Should get my pics up this weekend. Though mine are limited since I dont have a co-pilot/pictar taker. Usually too busy spotting to take pics then I forget to when I'm not spotting.
