OP
Plus with a couple significant delays on the trail some of us didn’t want to take any extra time. Didn’t always have the best lines and other than Chewy everyone was running it for the first time.
@NashvilleTJ put in an awesome show descending Chewy after he successfully got up in order to help a broken rig.
Trust me I would have been at Kane creek today, Moab rim tomorrow, and Pritchet Friday if I was alone. Next time, 2023
, I need to convince the wife to stay back or go on her own trip. Day one on Hell's gave her some PTSD and now she's just looking for cliffs.Or find a Dr. to prescribe her some Xanax
Gotcha. I convinced my wife to go with us today on the TOTW. She's deathly afraid of heights. She did amazing though. Wouldn't go out for a pic with me next to my rig, but took all the crawling in stride.Trust me I would have been at Kane creek today, Moab rim tomorrow, and Pritchet Friday if I was alone.

Well, they say the Rubicon is a 10 and Pritchett is a 9... one of those is wrong I think. Nothing I've ever done including the stuff we've done here at Moab this week compares to it. Using the same scale, if this was a 9... I'd put the Rubicon trail at like a 6-7.
You can make it with 35's and lockers front and rear... if you also have a good winch and good driving skills (or in my case great spotters
) sure. But we also watched a guy in basically a buggy on 40's roll on the first obstacle, and the JK with us had so much damage NashvilleTJ had to drag him home.I don't think any of the major obstacles had a bypass, and the 'easier' lines were nasty. I'd suggest you get others to chime in who have run other trails out here, it's my first time and I haven't run many, but from what I've been told it is one of the hardest.
Pritchett was, by far, the hardest trail I've ever done, and I'm not ashamed to say I used my winch more than once.

Yeah, I had to split it to post it to instagram, and posted the wrong one hereSeems some parts of that video were left out?!?!?
Here is the first half...(Damn you Mike!
)
I loved the videos and it always helps when we get our lockers engaged. 
Pritchett Canyon has to be my favorite trail in Moab.
WOW is all I can say about the damage to the JK.

Obviously, my van is nowhere near as capable as my TJ. My point is simply that complaining about a few pounds up high on a TJ is a bit humorous to me. No offense intended.
Onion Creek trail, no obstacles to get over, just amazing scenery, and about 20+ small water crossings.

Will have to get you over into the Rimrock trails at some point.
I guess the BIG question is would you do it again? While hard did you have a good time?
I don't see @Ibasket in any of those pics. Is he further up the trail than you guys?
Lol.
I couldn't agree more with this assessment...Pritchett is a must do, if you like this sort of thing. @Alex01, you need this trail...Well, they say the Rubicon is a 10 and Pritchett is a 9... one of those is wrong I think.

You definitely don't see many SWB vehicles on Pritchett. I was under the impression that it was just too difficult without the added wheelbase. It's really good to see you guys representing. And from the sounds of it, Pritchett made you earn it! Nicely done.Well, they say the Rubicon is a 10 and Pritchett is a 9... one of those is wrong I think.

@NashvilleTJ, what wheelbase are you running?Yeah, I had to split it to post it to instagram, and posted the wrong one here

We did the same, ran it backwards from the guide book. Kept expecting to run into Team LJ, but never did, cause, they were behind us, LOL.
