Got back from Moab on Sunday. Went with my club, Longhorn Offroad. Most of the rigs were built. I was stock. I wheeled hard one day with my Monty and then rode along the rest of the week. The one trail I did was called "Steel Bender", was rated "difficult" and took about 8 hours to complete after we got lost. There were quite a few ledges and steep climbs. The only real damage I came away with was two huge dents in the gas tank skid plate and gas tank. There was a four foot ledge that I had to go down so we used a ton of rocks and stacked the hell out of them before I made it down without any problems.
I should have some pics in the next few weeks.
Moab is a great place to wheel. Anyone who gets the chance should go out there. We stayed at a campground that was about $8/night/person that was 2 miles from downtown. We ran all the "difficult" trails but you could still have a lot of fun on the "moderate" trails with a stock vehicle.

I kind of like Steel Bender, despite the fact its right in town. Its got some nice scenery, and is challenging, but not terribly so. Has some fun optional stuff as well.
