Moab's Upper Helladorado 2/22/04 "SICK" - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I love this trail! Troy and I made it through unscathed. Both our rigs did good, but I had a bit of a hard time in the squeze part. I kept trying to crush my windshield frame. The hardest obstical I did not get any pictures of cause we had people wating on us so we hurried. But the guys behind us were cool and one of the little buggies in their group put on a show on the waterfall. Wate till you see the pictures!

I got all kinds of screwed up in here. The idea is to run the pass side way up on the slab so your hood and windshield clear. The back part of your cage keeps you from tipping all the way over. I started like that but slid down and needed a winch to keep me from distroying my windshield frame.

RustyNailJustin · 02-22-2004, 05:44 PM

troy making it easy

RustyNailJustin · 02-22-2004, 05:47 PM

This guy took the sickest line ever! And tried to drive it. This is totally vertical

RustyNailJustin · 02-22-2004, 05:55 PM

The one second he got traction it just picked him up and threw him in to this hole

RustyNailJustin · 02-22-2004, 05:57 PM

in the hole

Tuite · 02-22-2004, 06:07 PM

That is SICK.

RustyNailJustin · 02-22-2004, 06:21 PM

orangefj45 · 02-22-2004, 06:34 PM

awesome pics.
check your pm for some parts needed on my behalf.

smtyblt · 02-22-2004, 08:18 PM

I just had a quick question for you. I saw in one of your resent threads that you grooved your swampers. And I see in your last two posts that your sixty is seeming to rum quite well. Have you notice a big difference in traction with the new added mod or should I say subtracted mod?

It does make a difference not huge but it did help.

smtyblt · 02-22-2004, 08:38 PM

next question if you had it to do again would you do it

jnau99 · 02-22-2004, 08:58 PM

bad ass. I want to go so bad. cruise moab is never during my spring break though. One more dam year then I can go.

how long it take them to get the buggy out? that looks like it sucked.

elf_cruiser · 02-22-2004, 09:41 PM

Are you going to be at EJS - I should be there for a week. that trail is mos def on the list...

MNPoser · 02-22-2004, 09:55 PM

Wasn't there a thread a while back about these trails being closed, as they are now on private property?

Yes for sure. Every little bit helps and it only too 2 hours. Seems like it helped sidehilling quite a bit. dont slide as easy.

Erik D_lux · 02-23-2004, 02:25 AM

Whats your overall width? Can you fit between the two big rocks on the waterfall?

I am 83 inchs wide. I put one tire just on the inside of the hump on the driver side and I crest the hump of the rock on the pass side. When you make it to the top it feels a little weird cause the pass side is up but the driver side not quite so it puts the pass front up in the air a bit.

sick indeed!!! Awesome pics....
