Prichard Canyon.

Holy fuck... Doing this with the Trailblazers was a good fucking idea!

Today's roll... Compliments of Bill. I'll post video when I get back. Flipped on his lid over the tail. Bounced once or twice... Everything and one is okay.

Joey fell and may have broken some ribs. He's hurting, but doing okay.

Joshy is killing it!

And I have never been denied so much in my life!

This place rocks... And the TBs do it right.

Glad you are having fun out there Brad. Hopefully in the next year or two, I'll have a rig capable, and the funds to make the trip. Enjoy it for me this time around.

Rock pile looks pretty dug out. Lots of JKs in my group made it up last year with no assistance. Of course, we don't have the throttle power to launch like that and our front end is twice as heavy :lol3:

I made it up rock pile last year with a strap connected to the front to keep the front-end down. Almost all 40 JKs had to do rockpile because Currie was broke down in the bypass and was blocking it.

I ran Prichett again with the Eaton group and they took me on a side trail to an obstacle called "White Knuckle", that was the only thing in Moab that really scared the chit out of me; I almost went over on my lid and my Jeep was standing on the front bumper hoop. I'm surprised that the gang didn't take you over there.

Did you guys run up yellow hill and out the exit, or did you have to run back down the trail to the tow rigs :shock:

Crazy... I saw that shit and wouldn't have tried it without a tight winch cable. Almost vertical and 10+ feet tall.

This place favors a long wheelbase and lots of hp.

Yeah man.... your rig did beautifully up there. Moab obviously favors a long wheelbase and a lot of power, neither of which you have, yet you killed it anyhow! :Thumb:
