Stuff for stock to buggies, that's what's cool about Moab. Run a trail or two during the day, head back to camp, get cleaned up, and go out for dinner. If you should need to fix anything there are good shops and well stocked parts stores in town.

Brilliant photos Mike!!!

Thanks for sharing.



How come you guys are always working on Thom's Jeep?

Probably because Thom spends about 150 days wheeling a year (lucky bastard) and shit eventually breaks.

:D

Hey Mike. Why is it that any time there is a set of pics with you involved it always has to be that you are working on someones junk?

I've got some things to do to it first like a new t-case skid. I have it down to either the Appalacian armor or JCR one I also want to do an 8.8 and 4 banger front axle swap with at least a lunchbox up front. One day I'll be there!

I didn't think that I had any photos of me working on someone elses rig. I'm usually around for advise though, lol. The best had to be pulling that cylinder head off last year to replace a collapsed lifter in the campground. Hey what can I say.

Little difficult to figure gas mileage with a 40 mph head wind tring to maintain 60 mph... along with driving 70-80 mph most of the way to Moab and home...
Probably around 10-12 mpg....
