GSW = Grand Slam West = 50 Grand Cherokees from around the contintent wheeling in Moab.
All of the pics & movies: http://arlojeep.com/Trip-Reports/Moab-6-9-06/

A ZJ

Me on 7 Mile Rim's baby crack:

Yota buggy that followed us, not really part of our group at all since it wasn't a Grand Cherokee...

Hells Revenge @ the overlook:

Going up Hells Gate (Not sure on the name?)

The AEV WK crusing up effortlessly

The vids show Tip Over Challenge which one guy broke a CV joint on so a few stayed behind to fix it...us on the way out:

I'll get my photos up soon.

**ArloGuthroJeep** · June 12th, 2006, 10:03 PM

I kept thinking that no one else had photos since I have only seen a few peoples up, then I remembered it has only been 24 hours

Thanks for the pic of me on Hell's Gate. Almost the same shot as my Avatar from last year.

It was another great GSW.

**ArloGuthroJeep** · June 13th, 2006, 08:04 PM

No problem

Have some nice flex in there for sure.

Everyone helping me from no going over:

First Obstacle in Moab:

Brittany taking charge in the Grand:

Rusty Nail:

My Broken Shit on the trail!

Track Bar snapped into 3 different pieces. Some trail welding was required to get me home but big props to "MOAB 4X4 OUTPOST" who fixed me up same day

Fins-n-Things:

Brittany drove the whole day on this trail:

DUMP BUMP

Lion's Back:
Alright this was one of the best parts of the trail. No way in Hell would I take my jeep up this but meet a guy named Ron who was borrowing his buddies flawless F250 Super Duty up Lions back just to piss him off

Thanks again
Ryan

Haha, My favorite (and most scary) part when Britt was driving this weekend is when I was spotting for her and I told her to turn "passenger, passenger" but she thought I was saying "faster, faster" so she hit the 3 foot ledge pretty fast

I told her the dont call it "Rock CRAWLING" for no reason.

More Pics:

Found some more pics that Mark from Denver took on the trail:
Brittney flexin again:

Front Shot:

Boulder-John, I will send the pics of your WJ when I get home.

Nice pics.! I need to get out there some day, but it looks like my Grand needs to "grow up" a bit.

Anybody know how much lift that WK has? And WTF!?!? Warn already makes a front bumper for a WK, but I can't find a good rear bumper for a WJ?

The WK is about 4" of lift IIRC. It's Dave Harriton from AEV's rig. My guess is that the front bumper is a completely custom piece from AEV.

Two ZJ Buggies on Rusty Nail:

The buggy on the left from the pic above after breaking a UCA bolt:

My ZJ on Top of the World:

Pam and her ZJ on Top of the World:

Me riding the bottom of the Wedgie:

Pam coming down a ledge on Top of the World:

Me giving up my driver's seat to watch the new suspension at work:

Pam doing her best Austin Powers impression. She didn't have the tire size to go forward, and couldn't back up because her trailer hitch was right up against a rock:

Pam and I revisiting the spot where I proposed to her exactly one year ago"

Cool scenic shot:

Pam coming down the ledge that gave her troubles going up:

I got a little lax on watching my lines on Spider and missed the line by about 3 ft:

We took it kinda easy as I had just finished my long arms a week before we left and they still need some major tuning, but it was a great time!

Nice pics Dave

That had us all cracking up!!

Here's a shot of my scary moment - the picture just doesn't do it justice, it's looking down from the TOP of the obstacle:

Stan,
That is a wicked picture, I could only imagine what it felt like inside the car. Wish i would have been there to have seen it (as well as the look on your face

) But my ZJ didnt even make it that far

but there is always next year.

I felt like I was standing straight up on my brake!!

I look forward to wheeling with you again soon, glad you got your trackbar bracket fixed.

Glad I could help a little on this one, I was seriously wishing I weighed another 50#'s!!
