Hey guys. Having a great time in Moab. It rained pretty good today, but that just made the obstacles more challenging. Ran Hell's Revenge today. We had like 15 XJs, 2 TJs, and a Ford Ranger in the group.

Here's me cleaning Hell's Gate.

And making it over Tip Over Challenge, which two full-size Broncos and a TJ had just failed to climb. Then we had 13 XJs make it with no problem.

Forecast is for more rain. Hoping to run Poison Spider Mesa tomorrow.

Wish you all were here.

Yes, the Kyung Kim rockrails and frame stiffeners just made it onto the Jeep. :) Korean engineering at its best.

The new Jeep did well today. I did have to do some trailside fender trimming. :D

:D I leave the campground way before the drunkenness reaches its peak. I'm surprised I haven't gotten a drunken call at my motel room.

Well, it rained all night. But we're off to wheel Poison Spider Mesa.

Just got back from the dinner/raffle. There were some great raffle prizes, but as usual, I didn't win anything. :(

It rained all day long, but 20+ of us ran Poison Spider Mesa. The rain provided for some very cool waterfalls.

And amazingly, the rain really didn't affect traction too much.
