Utah Official TJ Fest 2023 Thread

Lots of great photos. Thanks for sharing! This is a bucket list trip for me. My rig is more of a Utah is pretty type trip.

@Alex01 This has to be my favorite photo. 😂 Reminds me of my brother. He once slept thru a tractor pull when we were kids. In case you've never been it's just trucks and tractors with wide open exhaust. It's great you guys make these family trips.

My favorite photo of the trip as well. The thing you can't see is the 2 dirtbike riders and a group of 10 RZRs off to the right-hand side. We probably sat there talking for about 10-15 min before we drove away and he woke up just in time to say bye to everyone.

I just finished the last day out here in Moab with my son (and dad)! He fell asleep at the end of fins. Felt bad because his head swung around like a tether ball. When he woke up his drool mixed with the dust on his face and made muddy spots! 🤤🤣

My daughter would fall asleep in her car seat and look like a bobble head.

Another of my favorites - High Dive on Behind the Rocks


This is what happens on this line if you miss that little ledge with your driver's side front tire. A lot of folks go end over end this way.


Stop. Just stop it. Those near roll over videos are not helping my nerves either.
 
beautiful Jeep. Saw pictures of it at Sema earlier this year.

Right side of Potato Salad isn’t too bad. Crawled it this past trip. This picture gives a better perspective of how huge the ledge at the top is.

Dam dude, that looks steep. Those are the very kinds of obstacles I don't like; ledges right at the top and a long way down.

I like how you can tell which day it is of the trip simply by what @JMT's Jeep looked like that particular day. One fender, two fenders/armor, no hard top, no doors....
Kinda like MJ’s career.

This gives an idea of going back up that steep part and the difference between 4L and 2nd gear (1st attempt), and 4L and 1st gear (2nd attempt). You can also see the tub wound from the flop in this one.
