Really awesome trip out to Moab with some fun dudes.
It was great to get the runner out of the garage and finally use it for the first time in a while. The new 5.29 gears, front locker, and tires proved to be extremely impressive. The tires especially were above my expectations, they road awesome on the highway and performed way better than expected offroad. So much grip on the rock, plenty in the sand, they seem strong so far. Time will really tell but first impressions are awesome.
For a quick rundown, we ran Steel Bender first, this was with myself, Chad in the blue runner, Chase in the orange taco, Ryan in the single cab Tacoma and Jesse in the green 4Runner. Good group of dudes to wheel with for sure!
Even the bypass on this one is a bit eerie. The short wheelbase on this truck made The Fall a little less appealing. If I had my bumper done I would have gone for it though!
We played around on this optional line for a bit. Got a little excited and broke the first CV for the weekend.
Then played on this one and broke the second one.
The rest of the trail was easy and overall had a blast.
Steel Bender is up there in great trails. Outside of "The Fall" the trail can be made as hard or as easy as you want to it's a fun one to get into if you're looking for some challenges but don't want to go over the top.
