you could do some of the trails there with what you got. there are plenty that a stock xj could easily handle.

Don't forget to take your own beer. The beer in UT sucks.

Not much: Moab is great as it has something for everyone. Big things are: tow points and since you got a stick, I'd get deeper gears to have more control/fun on the trails. Tirewise you'd be surprised how well AT's and similar tires stick to slickrock!

i agree, you could do alot around here like it is, so you won't be able to do the "extreme" trails around here but you still will get a taste of what moab has to offer.

Your might want to get a little armor. Skid plates for at least the fuel tank and transfer case. Them rocks are hard. That is a good start. I have wheeled Moab several times in just my Stock XJ and had a blast.

cool thanx for the replies.

I really want to go. but my freinds are split between where we want to go. two want to go th st. louis and indianapolis to see the sights. The other two (Me and my Girlfriend) Wanna go to moab to wheel and then to lake tahoe to enjoy. We only have a week to do this so time is a factor here too.

I hope to go cuz that would be frickin awesome.
