Wow a thread started for me...cool. lol
I had an awsome time today on the Poison Spider trail! My XK performed nicely thru every obstacle. No bypasses were used! The high clearance GetLost bumper was key in making a few of those obstacles. Have some good pics and video thanks to the wife jumping out to catch the moment. On a PDA phone right now so you'll have to waite till Monday for pics.
Doing Steel bender trail Saturday.
Hey everyone, just returned home late this evening. Had a blast in Moab this weekend. I did the Poison Spider trail on Friday and Steel Bender trail on Saturday. My Xk did great. I did not pass up on any obstacles...even the ones that the trail guides said I need lockers. The QDII proved itself to be truly trail ready and I left several Wrangler owners speachless and had others cheering on the "school bus" as it scaled the obstacles. My only injury was to the corner of the rear bumper. It was squished in when I popped the front up for some air in the "Wedgie" obstacle found on the Poison Spider trail. No big deal.
The GetLost bumper and skid plate did great in providing a lot of needed clearance in the front. The skid plate also provides ample air flow for the radiator as it opperated under normal temp ranges. The bumper and skid plate received no scratches on the entire trip.
Ok, so I know what you want...photos. I have to sort the photos and also download the video off the camcorder to the computer bit I wont leave you hanging too long.
So for now a teaser shot from the Steel Bender Trail as I get a little air climbing up a wall...
Funny thing...I never saw one pink Jeep on these trails! However, this weekend makes broken arrow trail look like childs play. Can't wait to get back out there with you and the others to finish that little trail.
School bus...everyone was joking around about my XK being as long as a school bus and how there was no way to get the school bus thru obstacles. But by the end of the weekend, no one questioned wether or not the "school bus" had what it takes to do Moab.
"Lockers?...we no need no stinking lockers!
Where the other Jeeps had to engage lockers, I just put it in 4-low and drove on over!
