40th in Moab

It's my first time to Moab and looking to meet up with folks who know the area. We are staying at the Moab KOA.

Yeah, the Novak motor mount bushings around the carriage bolts didn't last two thousand miles for me. I looked in to using high duramometer urethane barstock to replace the rubber, but I dont think the keyhole shape in the frame side of the mounts will let any type of isolator last very long...

The only reason I questioned an access road in the middle of the trail is that I have seen alot of mention of two parts to the trail, but people must be describing half way is a good place to camp overnite. If there is any chance of snow, I wont even attemt a run. We were originally planning on...

I will be there with my wife and 11yo son.

Hello all, Im am looking for some thoughts/input from the Sierra folks that have run the Rubicon on the feasibility of a day trip in early October. I will be attanding the 40th in Moab and dont want to drive from Pennsylvania without trying to get as much out of the trip as possible. We have a...

This looks alot farther along that i thought! There is a whole lot more than a survey on that website, It looks like the trail map sytstem with ratings is already complete. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the redirect.

Unfortunately, we wont be making this weekend. The XJ is ready, but I'm buried in the shop and parts availability is killing every plan I attempt. We will see everyone at Rocktoberfest.

Im 90% sure we can be there, as long I can get time in the shop to sort out my unit bearing saga on the Rock Assault 9, and i also changed my mind on my gear ratio. I may have a JK Rubicon on 37's tagging along too.

Set of five, 315/75-16 tires and five OEM 2006 TJ Rubicon wheels. Includes centers caps, bead balanced, scratches on one wheel, only 35 miles on tires. Prefer pickup or meet halfway depending on distance. I could pallet and drop off at Estes terminal at buyer's cost for shipping. Located in...

For sale Smittybilt XRC 76851 rear bumper with fuel can and tire carrier. Fitted to my XJ and plans changed, so it never left the shop mounted. I do not have the original boxes or the rivet on quarter panel guards, but includes new/unsed fuel can. I would prefer pickup, or i could meet half way...
