first, a big thanks to Suka for getting the sammy's frame repaired in such a timely manner. after we took the sammy home, our tires had arrived, so that meant only one thing: MOAB!!! 
we left saturday morning and decided to do Gold Bar, since we knew the trail and this was the test run on the new suspension. of course, she walked right over everything, piece of cake. it was getting late and it started raining, so we headed back to town and got some dinner and drinks.
sunday, we decided to try the Moab Rim. after making it up to the top successfully, one ledge caught us up and we started sliding, and slid our tire and rear bumper underneath an undercut rock ledge. aside from not being able to drive forward or backwards, the sammy was pretty sideways. it took a bit to scoot the sammy over far enough to get the bumper unwedged, but we were finally able to back up and over the ledge (putting us more sideways ). once we cleared the ledge, we were able to take a new line and get up the trail. we decided to head home after that, since the sammy takes so long to drive home. overall, great trip. lots of fun!
so, to start out the pics, here's one to jog your memory of what she used to look like.
