I wanna go out west bad its coming.... im sure it will happen within the next 6 months. I wanna try this thang they call hot tub or sumdin like that.... it looks like i could jump right out of it but hell i reckon we will find out.
My first time out to Moab, I was in a Phat rig that weighed in at 5200#. It walked 98% of the stuff out there with 115# WB and a healthy motor.
The other 2% was some straight vertical stuff like Upper Helldorado and the Car Wash hot tub (wet) Those things just kicked that fat pig's ass.
4th time I went out there I took my 106" WB, 2500# rig and it bounced up everything out there without breaking a sweat. Did all of the climbs at area BFE, Coyote and on the old trails.
Some of that crap looks super easy on film, but when you get there it is like "****, that is steep"
The first vehicles to ever get up Upper Helldorado were heavy, long rigs. It was the WMS guys in those huge Jeeps. No one believed it.
Now I have seen video of just about everything from full bodied Jeeps to comp rigs make it. YOu just have to hit the line just right. Tim's rig would laugh at it.
Same with the Hot Tubs.
Moab is the best. I love that place more than anyplace, but it is not for the hard wheeling, but the FUN wheeling and the scenery. It is increadible.
