Utah, you joker!
Lion's back ain't nothing! Pritchet Canyon,Rusty Nail, Heldorado, . . . Utah, you ain't done Moab! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> That's my point, most of you guys don't take your monty's on difficult trails! You're pussys! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Overall Moab is priety easy wheeling, other then the above mentioned which I have done in my 90 Montero.(Except Upper Helldorado)I will challenge anyone here for amount of wheeling done in Utah though!)
I issue a challenge to any Jeep owner here, join the annual Sierra Challenge I sponsor. I now allow any make. Its August 5-13(wheeling days). We start at Barrett, then Rubicon, then Barker Meadow, followed by Fordyce, and trails in the gold lake region.(VERY FEW attempt this link of Sierra trail due to difficulty) If your Jeep is not broken, and is still running by the end of the trip, you can stand that many days in a Jeep and you can pack supplies for the entire trip, I will fill your tank up at the end. To make it interesting, I will insure atleast 1 Gen II Montero completely stock except for 33s and sliders shows up.(not hard because atleast one always comes) NOW, I would ask for a stock Jeep of that era for comparison, but it would take too long to drag it through <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
If you have not done Fordyce yet, your in for a treat. May not be wrecking ball, choke cherry, tobasco twister, trail 11 helicopter pad or Isham, but the shear length of these trails test overall indurance well.
Myself? The new Gen III Monteros are crappy and I will be going to an Xterra next with off-road package. Is that the best ever built? Doubt it, but then I dont have 75K for a G Wagon, nor will my family fit in a Rubicon, even stretched for 10days on the trail.....
