Had to get outta the heat for at least one day this weekend. Heard Monache Meadows trail finally opened, packed up the wife for a little scouting trip. Not a hard wheel by any means, but a decent lunch trip anyway. Kern River North fork is roaring.

All the traffic is actually making it a better trail IMO, everything being so dug out adds to the complexity. Hope you don't get stuck in a line like we did. Give er hell!

Bummer, I never had any big complaints about Morris.

Right on, I am loving my XD 60's. Lugnuts. I actually found it to be one of my biggest issues when I went to XD60's. Dynatrac uses long ass studs. Your wheel choice will effect this as well. I have a whole box of Gorilla 1.9" lug nuts I though would work, but my beadlocks are dished out pretty...

Unfortunately I think you have to fish it back and hide the excess when you relocate. If I remember correctly it's not too bad.

It's the rack. I can't remember the brand but someone sells a bracket to relocate the antenna up front so the rack isn't interfering with it. I have my antenna (magnetic) over the passenger side grab handle area and I hardly ever lose signal.

Yup. It's not much of an obstacle in a built Jeep but I totally understand why they did it. A tad bit tougher would have kept out the drunken Toyota teens behind me, but that's ok, the second waterfall took out their whole group, lol

Fast forward to this weekend, me and the wife went and hung out in traffic on Gold Mountain. Shoulda tried the I-5...

Well..I also wasn't going to cop to running Elephant Hill with a hangover, or Gold Mountain which I did hungover this weekend, lol.

Cont... ... And, we made Chicken Corners! It was already mid-day Sunday, hot and crowded in Moab. While headed to town to get fuel we discovered that my tie rod had flipped itself (stupid clamped tie rod, gonna replace that) and beat up my steering stabilizer a bit, no big deal but I...

.... After Canyonlands we headed to Lockhart basin to take the back way into chicken corners at Moab, Lockhart is a long run with some obstacles every now and then to keep you on your toes. We camped on the Lockhart basin trail that night. Shut up Greta, 5 gallons going in! Nice...

...cont... We did Elephant hill (backwards) but I didn't get any pics on my phone, maybe on my other camera that still needs to be downloaded. if you haven't done Elephant hill you gotta make plans, it's badass, I'll definitely be going back. Cont...

...After we cleared the Dugway we headed into Bears Ears and through Beef Basin, mostly forest service roads here but we got hit by a pretty heavy rain storm. And then the Ruin Park area where we camped for the night. First casualty. My shoulder is a bit jacked up so big thanks to Tim for...

Getting there buddy, picture post limits

...We continued north along Comb Ridge, and eventually ended up in another canyon they took us to show us some more ruins. I don't remember the name of this canyon, TBH I was lost most of the time on this trip, not having to be trail lead and just following for a few days is a great way to...

Been negligent posting this, this trip took place mid to end of June, been a bit busy since I got back. Me and the wife packed up the Jeep for our annual (anniversary) camping/ wheeling trip. Left out of our abode in hell (edge of Death Valley) on 13 June. Quick pit stop along the Panamint...
