Hell's Revenge would be a doozie for a stock non-Rubicon Jeep. I ran it last week for the first time, and I wouldn't want to run it with anything less than 32" tires and a BB. Even the bypasses can chew up your skidplates, scuff your bumpers, and/or mash your tailpipe if you're not careful.
You know I can't recall but I do remember some areas where there were small steps to climb up....and I mean small....heres a video.

I love MOAB!

Just for thought....we knew it was a joke and played along the whole time

I would recommend removing those side bars before you hit Moab. If not you may as well just throw em down on the trail right now

When were there with the Touaregs? I was on Hells revenge last june and ran into a big group of them. They had Dan Mick as their guide so me and a buddy were chatting it up and somehow got onto the touaregs adventure website. I know it was first part of June. I was in an Orang Rubicon TJ. If it was the same time that would be cool. I do remember just about all the VW's had some pretty decent rocker damage just behind the front wheels.

Jelvis, if your looking for a buddy to go with, I might be interested.
Im definetly looking to go there next year as well, we can have a 2 jeep convoy

AND rock rails are a must, I learned that from trying to attempt some small obstacles at Rausch Creek

I was there from june 20th to June 22nd. They ended that program for 2008. VW couldn't afford to run it anymore.

Dan Mick (mayor of slick rock) is a really nice person and a great guide to wheel with.

Here is a link that's still up but the rest of the website is down. I'm the one in the second from the top left.
