    On Location...MOAB UT

    We were there last year, after driving the supercharger cross country.

    Its a trip every jeeper should take. Toss your gear in the truck and eat 33 hours of pavement to get to the promised land.

    Black Betty Posing

    That last shot is like a baby picture to us.... Betty has changed SO much in the last year. But she was still very pretty then.

    So we finally get to MOAB after a 6 hour drive from colorado, its 4pm, and we spot Jeremy and Justin of Rock Krawler at the car wash. Our trail ride with RIPP and RK starts at 8 am the next day.

    Jeremy's instructions, get on a trail immediatly. They know what we are used to as we come from the same place. The Northeast. They also know that its our first rodeo out there, and we are completely unprepared.

    Moab is astounding the first time you go.

    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.
