We jump on "Fins' Things", and are immediatly surprised at the difference in mid-west wheeling vs. the north east.
No jagged rocks. You really dont need skid plates out here. (except LCA skids, you always need them)
In the north east your front tire is on one rock, the rear tire is on another. In Moab, all 4 tires are on one rock. You want sticky tires here.
More shots as we crawl around.... Notice the sun is going down? We are about to get caught in the dark on a strange trail MILES from help.
That sounds like it was great and then terrible. I'd freak out lost off road in the desert like that when it gets dark.
No one around, you would have had to camp there. And by camp i mean, sleep in the truck.
It was pretty scary for a few minutes as the sun went down.
When it gets dark in the desert, it gets DARK.
Then, we discovered, the LED lights that were all over Black Betty. We'd never used them before. As you will go to prison in NJ for auxiliary lights.
Flip the switch... Night turned to day.
Here's a video on the lights we used in MOAB
the 20" bar is a howitzer on darkness
day 2, the instructions we got were to be at McDonalds at 8am.
We roll into a parking log FULL of jeeps. Leading the way....Daddy long legs....
Here we are lined up to go "Behind the Rocks"
