[QUOTE="tkinze, post: 732393, member: 3912"] very good points above ^^. The only downfall to ubering your rig out there is not having a trailer. You're gonna have to pound a lot of pavement with your trail rig and if it dont have some road ability you're gonna have a tough time getting to/from the trails. For example, from downtown Moab several of the "have to" trails require traveling up Hwy 191 which is effectively an interstate - 55mph+. It's not like driving I-75 here in Georgia but it does see a lot of traffic including big rigs, RVs and of course all the yahoo drivers you deal with every day. Our rigs wont do 55 or close to it (mini truck on 40s) but we made it through unscathed. Highly recommend having at least the basics such as tail lights, head lights etc for your own safety. We almost got into a major accident one evening coming down 191 due to our slow speed but that's another story. We ran all these trails 3-4 days running and I think we did about 10-20 miles of pavement each way depending on how we got to and from the trails. These include Poison Spyder Mesa, Golden Spike, Metal Masher, Rusty Nail and several others. Moab Rim trail and Pritchet Canyon are much closer as they're on the Moab side of the Colorado river and only require 3 or 4 miles to the trail head. Problem with Pritchet is it dumps you into the back side of Behind the Rocks so you either turn around and run it backwards or trek through BTR which is probably 10-12 miles south of downtown Moab. Moab is epic and everyone should do it at least once for the experience and scenery. That said, Sand Hollow is far better hardcore crawling not to mention far easier logistically. [/QUOTE]
