|  Hole In The Rock Trail, Labor Day Weekend
Just thought i would share a few pics from my Labor Day Weekend. I meet up with the Red Rock 4-Wheelers in Moab for the 3 day, 2 night campout trail run. Had a blast!  My first time running this trail, pretty easy trail, but great scenery. Just got the jeep out of the shop the day before I left: Streached the front axle 5" forward, new custom Deaver 2.5" springs. [IMG]  [/IMG] Had the hydraulic steering re-worked:  Sat morning meet up: [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]I took my small camp trailer to our campsite, about 1/3 the way in where we all camped two nights so my rig wouldn't be all weighted down. Same bolt pattern as the Jeep, 6 on 5 1/2 with 35" tires and pinnacle hitch. Could of easily ran the entire trial with this thing. [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]I can't believe how much better this thing rides and handles having that front axle moved forward 5". I was able to keep up with the coil rigs on the fast sections now. [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]

Thanks for the comments. A couple more: Roy in this FJ... Got stuck in the sand, but I got to use my new 12,000 lb winch. He had a harder time than a stock jeep.. Had to put the strap on his rig a couple of times. [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]The famous chute. Can't believe people took wagon's down this. [IMG]  [/IMG]

Moab is just a great place to wheel. I was at ejs last year and hope to make it in 2012. Yes it is alittle crowded but i get to see so many old friends it just makes it worth it to me.
