Some highlights from our pics:
End of Chicken Poop
Josh coming down the stairs on Cliffhanger
Coming back out of Cliffhanger (we went up the obstacle by the creek and then turned around)
Josh coming back up the stairs
Me getting flexy in the crack
John leading us through Spike
Tom rinsing off his Jeep
Josh going up one of the many ledges on Spike
Todd coming down a ledge
Will coming down some ledges
The group snaking their way through the trail
John going up a ledge
Pam taking my ZJ up the same ledge

Todd going up that ledge
Tom going through the trail
The group parked at the overlook
Getting ready for Golden Crack
John going through
My shocks still aren't quite long enough to keep all 4 on the ground
Josh showing off his MAD flex
Will throwin a tire
Todd throwin a tire
John going up Double Whammy
I let Pam give it a shot this time. Still no luck. The fronts got up a lot easier with the 35's, but I think a front locker is the magic trick to make it up.
Tower Arch Trail
Freaking BEEEEYOOOOOITFUL day
Dinosaur footprints on Klondike Bluffs (rest of Tower Arch was closed, so we left Arches via Klondike Bluffs)
Sun starting to set on Klondike Bluffs

John makes it look so easy
You guys have a drive shaft shop that I can send my old shaft to so I can repair it for use as a spare? need to get it rebalanced and new u joint installed.
Thanks again for the trip.
Forgot to mention that it was my birthday trip. 9/30 was my birthday.
You guys gave me a great birthday trip

Like pictures take away the real perspective, the video makes it look way easier than what reality was, or what it seemed watching it in real life. I really got nervous when John's WJ started moving across the face side hill style.
Will, I'm glad that it was a good birthday weekend, broken u-jiont/driveshaft and all. It is cool that you were able to make it back to CSprings OK. Can you build the old DS and make it a spare, especially before GSSW?
Moab/The Spike are such cool places to go and play, even if it was just for a day on my part. Always happy to wheel with a great bunch of enthusists(sp). My last trip on the Spike until I get the 33's on though and the rear locker installed.

Have to give a special thanks to Ferris at Clark's Auto Parts in moab.
He let me use all of his tools to get the DS back to a drivable state.
I did not drive back with the bailing wire and duct tape on the shaft. Spent all morning sun working on it at Clark's. He let me use the vise he had in the back of the store along with other tools.
Can't believe they put a Checker Auto right next door!! Just for that I will never buy anything from Checker Auto.
Ever in moab and need parts, go to Clark's Auto Parts and talk to Ferris.

Happy birthday Will. Sometimes you have to use Checker - they were the only shop in Moab that had a brake master cylinder for my ZJ.
Regarding drive shaft shops, I'm sure there are one or two in the Springs, but if you want to come to Denver, I've used Englewood Driveshaft. Kinda hard to find (entrance is via an alley), but they know their stuff (old school stuff, anyway).

Hey, could you do me a favor? Justforjeeps.com said they could get me a spare drive shaft, but they need a VIN. My Jeep was built Tuesday and Wednesday of this week (yeah, no Monday or Friday build), but I don't have the VIN yet. Could you email them (support@justforjeeps.com) with your VIN and ask for a price for a rear driveshaft?

Note the Golden Retriever when John is about to hit his rear bumper. Who says you can't train a dog to be a spotter?
Awesome trip, Will

Great vids, Will, thanks!

That's funny, I don't even remember it. At first I was thinking that you bumped my ZJ and I didn't remember that either.Originally Posted by cjchamp
John, my brother muled four 33x10.5" MTs over the mountains for me so now I have four tires vs. two to work with for fitting on my ZJ, so next time it won't be such a wheel lift if you spot me on the 33" line and it should eleminate the getting hung up on the ledge.
