Too bad we didn't get a photo of that shelf road we were on. I can't say I am comfortable with off camber yet but every trip it gets a bit better.

For everyone else imagine being the lead jeep, a road with about 6" of clearance to a cliff (could have been more but felt like even less), drivers side is on the wall, and having @JMT directing you to turn towards the ledge.... My jeep was solidly driving up the drivers side wall 🤣

I'll attempt escalator if you do.

I will never forget that moment. I am still laughing about it. Always trust your spotter, especially if they tell you to turn toward the 50' cliff with 6" of room and you just met the guy that week!

Some ideas

1) Gold Bar Rim - a 1/2 day, would leave open a simple Fins-N-Things run for the other 1/2 day or OFF. All in all a fun and short day.
2) Moab Rim - 3-5 hours, plan for 5.
3) Hell's Revenge - just because it's a have to on the bucket list and very fun. The obstacles are Hell's Gate, the Escalator, and a reasonable Hot Tub
4) Golden Spike - this is a branch off of Poison Spyder, long, long day, start early, end after dark.
5) Cliff Hanger- yes, I said that @Alex01

These are more extreme trails. If you are not comfortable, choose other trails. This is not about showing off. I have to get home, so I will not do something I can't do, I will watch and wait or winch. Those are my 3 W's.

I'm cool with trying all those out. I'll likely need to pay for a spa day for Christina on Cliff Hanger because she is deathly terrified of heights but it is one I want to do. From all the videos I've seen, it looks like there is tons more room then the trail we took.

"tons more room," eh. Well, then this should be a piece of cake! Can't wait.

Can I go to the spa too? 😉

@Alex01, what else do you have planned for your rig? I'll be on a plain and simple 4.25" combo with 33's, lockers, 456's and a full tuck.
 
I stole this idea from @DrDmoney when he planned the Rubicon trip we did in September because I thought it was a great idea.

Below you will find a list of everyone who has expressed interest in the run and the specs of their jeep. This will allow people to know where they stand and perhaps find a few members that are similarly equipped.

Once you book a place to stay or reserve a campsite I'll put your name in bold. (please let me know if I need to make any changes since I got this data off all your profiles.)

I have a few mods that will hopefully be delivered in the next few weeks. Currently, my jeep is down but I hope it will be up and running by June for a planned slick rock run.

I may also look into outboarding the rear of my jeep later this year or early 2021. I'm not sure if I want to get a genright tank so I could push the axle back a bit before outboarding though. I don't really want to comp cut my jeep so I'd likely keep the stock wheelbase.

Nice work @Alex01, you can up my Lift to 3" + 1.25".

I may thrown on another 1" of lift, the 35's from my backyard, and cycle suspension before I come.

Geez, just hug the driver's side and you should be fine. 🤪

I fixed it on the earlier post... I'll give it a day before I repost the list since I bet a bunch of edits will trickle in.

I can assure you my jeep is not in a secret location in so-cal lol. I just want to have all the parts delivered before I start talking too much so when I have questions people are still tuning in.

@Alex01

Mine should be 4+1.25 don’t short me that 1.25” that’s important to me. I tell my wife it’s lifted 8.5” have to keep her sense of measurement consistent.

I'll make the change but I don't think any of us would dare short your build :p
