Dave, that thing is stinking awesome Can't wait to see it in person and on the trails.

 

Thanks Bill, are you coming up to Moab this week?

 

Okay, so today Vince and I ran Pritchett Canyon and Behind the Rocks and the hemi engine was awesome! There were multiple spots where you just have to gas it and give it a Moab Bump. Very smooth performance out of the 6.1 and no issues. As far as torque to the wheels - just no comparison to the 3.8!

I did get a little happy on something called White Knuckle Hill and snapped the rear pinion and grenaded the rear end, so I might be out of commission for a day, but man I love my new ability to climb! Moab rules!

A couple pics of the damage:

 

My plan is to come up on Wednesday, hope to see you there.

 

Sounds good. Bring a variety of clothing. Yesterday was sunny and warm and we were in t-shirts. Today, I woke up to this:

 

SNOW! I didn't see that in the forecast.. It better get warmer I am camping in Moab, burrrrr

 

Nice! Damn I wish I could've gone...

 

Next year you are definitely coming with us! Put in for the time off now.

 

Vince and I got really lucky and met some great Moab residents and wheelers - Gary, Melissa, and Jeff from Moab Friends-For-Wheelin' - and they have been awesome hosts here in Moab. Yesterday we did Behind the Rocks which was a lot of fun, and today they took us through a tour of Hells Revenge and all the optional obstacles. Here is a short video from yesterday of my new hemi learning how to do the Moab Bump (sorry for the low quality, but I'm uploading through my phone): http://youtu.be/i9cCsoIdOr0

 

Will do!

How did the rear end repairs go today? Knowing you, you have spare parts with you for just about everything that could break.
