East Meets West: Moab and Ouray August 1-9, 2020

Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing. While I'd have loved to join you and had every intention, as I mentioned this covid distance learning has had my wife busy all weekend and she is booked up the next two days solid with zoom meetings. It wouldn't have been much fun trying to figure that out on the trail....haha. Hopefully this will become an annual event and ill get to go next time. Also by then I may have that front axle installed...haha.

Too bad you couldn't make it.

I bet that box the axle is in makes a good shelf in your garage 🤣

We’ll I did manage to shear off my front locker fitting on the diff bombing the trails after Pritchett Canyon. The track bar bolt hit it on really hard hits coming out of there. I’m at Moab Motorsports right now with Roy and he is fixing it as we speak.

If that’s the only issue we had, I think we got out pretty good for how hard we pushed thru there.

Awesome!
After putting in a 20 driving day on Thursday, it couldn’t have been possible with out how unbelievable that Ram and trailer are, we felt we deserved a quick little test run up Holy Cross.

Both Jeff and my Jeeps were untested after the CO upgrades and there’s not a better place for it.

We burned up and back in 3.5 hours with no issues at all with the new installs. Those COs make such a difference smoothing out the trail.
Here are a couple pictures from the run.

Then loaded the Jeeps back up on the trailer and headed for Moab. What an awesome day!

He his amazing! Fixed it in less than an hour. I saw trail mater, but once they were done with mine they jumped back work on a buggy they were fixing.

Looks like Moab is been awesome so far, definitely sounds like some adversity but glad to see everyone coming together and making it all happen. Love seeing all the pics!
