A nice selection of Jeeps and Samurais, 7 total, showed up at the trail head to run Metal Masher. We aired down at the Gemini Bridges staging area just off 191. Then we were off. The trail was uneventful until we reached Rock Chucker. Here goes Jim, and yes, that is a bit of snow still...

I'm glad everyone got a laugh out of this. I'm pretty sure that the accident was a spilled soft drink but thanks James for playing along! Hunter Canyon is a turn off to the left about 2 miles past the end of Pritchett Canyon on the county road. It runs South East and comes out at the bottom...

Since it was only 1:00pm, we decided for Hunter Canyon. There's lots of rocky fun in this canyon as well. Don't get your rear wheel down in that hole. Towards the end of the trail and Tim has a "bit" of damage. The bumper is a bit trashed and the tail light is gone but I think...

Since several of us are leading and/or gunning Pritchett Canyon during the upcoming Easter Jeep Safari, we thought it would be a good idea to pre-run it as well as to fix one of the winch anchors on Chewy that was damaged last fall. As the sun was shining once again in Moab, a large group showed...

Very weird guys as I can see the video. Perhaps it takes some time to load? It's also on YouTube called James climbs rockpile.

And, just like Susan, Melanie has a bit of a struggle with Axle hill. No broken axles for her but a nice wheel stand and a few moments of terror. All is well. Another nice shot of axle hill. It’s hard to show how steep and tall some of these obstacles really are. This photo somewhat...

Well, its Labor Day weekend and a group of 14 rigs showed up at the Pritchett Canyon trail head, ready for some We Be Jeepin' fun. Yes, here’s the sign to prove that we’re really here. But, I’m also going to include pictures from the trail….stay tuned! Here’s part of the line-up making...

A total of 10 rigs showed up at the parking lot to run Hell’s Revenge for the 4th of July. I was elected to lead the trail today and we made a brief stop to look at the dinosaur footprints. Then it was up the slickrock fins and over to the Abyss. This is a nice warm up obstacle and Rick in...

Herzog, Yeah, I'm running the LTB's and I love them! They were really luggy initially but after 4-5 trails have been SWEET and are lasting longer than the Irok's! Here's Redroxx climbing the Big Hot tub with them on Sunday. They stink on the pavement though......;) LXQL9CBJoDQ

I just upgraded my seats and added harnesses for this reason, I can't stay off of Rockpile. I was next up after Rick and am so used to only having my waist belt that I forgot to use the harness!......NEXT TIME! If you look on the video, you'll see it threw his hat off his head and out the door...

Oh, if for some reason the video doesn't post above, here is the youtube link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqVzgItBkjA

Well, I typically paint more of a story than this and plan to come back later and fill this in. But, since many of you might like to see this short video, I will throw it on here for now. Rick is a MFFW member and he was at the RME BBQ on Friday night. He went out with our group on Saturday to...

We had a couple of CJ-5's on itty, bitty tires on our EJS Thursday Pritchett. I think they were on 30's or maybe 31's, maybe not even that big. Luckily they both had new winches because they sure used them, granted there was a snowstorm but still. So, yes, you can drag your carcass through...

Cmon Herzog! We have a request for this trail on memorial weekend so maybe we'll see you. Pritchett too cause we can't get enough!:laughing:

If you can get to the trail, you can do it. I personally wouldn't run it open but have taken my smaller tj, 33" tires w ARBS. You should have a locker for where eagles dare but I have seen it run open. And, yes, we have permission from BLM to mark trails!
