Ya know, I was too engrossed in trying to put my radiator back where it belongs to watch your attempts at Rock Chucker...just needed more skinny pedal I'm guessing :winko: that's what worked for me, and is why I sheered off my front tow hook in the process.
And to think I did it with only one bolt in my drivers side upper ball joint...;eekb;
Travis gave me a vid of my climb, I'll have to figure out how to post a video :p

Justin,
First, thanks for the call. I specifically didn't answer because I KNEW it was a "I'm in Moab and your not hear" call. (seriously though, I was at the post office with like 8 boxes in my hands).
Is that your Jeep or did you rent one?
How is wheeling slick rock (is it slicker rock) in the rain?
Bart
Slickrock isnt bad in the rain. The bad part is the wet sand sticking to your tires between slick rock sections. But if you get on a spot with lots of tire marks (like TOC) it becomes super slick.
I was surprised how little the rain affected the slick rock, keep in mind it wasn't a deluge....but like Dave said, it was the wet sand on the tires causing slipping. But after a little burning off, the tires gripped and up you went.
Down....was a little slicker, but not that much.
Even though I'm battling some pretty heavy Post Moab Blah's I figured that it was my turn to post up some pics. Here are some from our "VX Only" run on Seven Mile rim:

HAHAHA! JERK! :p I hope you at least listened to our synchronous message!
I trailered my Jeep down there - much cheaper than renting. It did great and climbed over everything I tried except for Rock Chucker (driver error most likely) and a spot on Steel Bender where I lifted both driver side tires twice. I think Jack was trying to make me roll over. :p
No matter; it's time to sell it so I can get back to the Blazer! I am so amped to show up with THAT next year... so no excuses, you and Linda better be getting your collective arses to Moab next year!
More Moab pics. These are from our run on Hell's Revenge:
