Thanks Paul, I ordered one for me and one for my son. Him and his buddies go there from Colorado Springs.

You guys ever been there? A couple years ago the wife and I spent 7 days jeeping and felt like we barely scratched the surface. What a beautiful
place.

My son goes once a year at least with his friends and he always invites me but I usually have something else going on. I've never been there but one
of these days I hope to.

Want to go, never been. I hear it is a great place for low range crawling with lockers or A-TRAC!?

Moab has trips for an kinds of rigs. Last summer I took my daughter on some easy ones in her stock ford ranger 4wd. No damage underneath but it
touched several times. She and husband had a blast. Beautiful place to go. Countless trails to choose from.
David, you have to pay attention to the ones that require lockers and lift. Consult your A-trac buddies as to suitability.

Lots of new rules and regulations which have made White Rim Trail a royal pain amongst others. The area is loved to death and has now suffered from
overexposure and has become a tourist trap. When places get popularized, it's often that they get over run.

Thanks. There are some early YouTubes showing how an A-TRAC 4Runner climbed up one of those "front and rear locker required" climbs at Moab. I
probably won't ever get out there and do anything that demanding. As I get older, I notice I am feeling less invincible! Of course, Neal Johns was

Here is what my son goes in. It's his friend's hauler. They load up motorcycles, ATVs and a side by side and spend a week out there.
