The snow birds are fine... as long as you are not trying to get somewhere, get seated in a resturant, buy groceries, etc.  :? 

Is this the next Ruthless shop machine? 

Maybe Feb. for me

I am interested Ron. Jana and I are thinking mid-Feb for a ride. I think Lanse will be there The weekend of the 17th also. Keep us posted on your schedule.

The Rally is an awesome experience - I would highly recomend it! The heat isn't too bad in May - weather can change so be prepared for cold too. Your Ranger will be able to handle easy to moderate trails but I would recomend calling for a spotter rope on steep obstacles as the Rangers are back heavy and tend to tip backwards fairly easy. Lift will give you clearance, but will also affect center of gravity. Offset wheels will help offset a lift. I would highly recomend a UHMW skid plate and offset rims and maybe forget the lift. Tires - Maxis Bighorns do great in Moab, I run 28" ITP Bajacross, they do great also - I personally like the rim protection and 8 ply rating, but they get very good traction on the slick rock and you need to be careful not to use too much power and end up breaking and axle (or worse). Unless you stay next to the arena you will have to trailer to the arena (you could also leave your trailer and Ranger at the arena. If you are street legal in UT you can drive on most roads. Guided trails are escorted and you will not have to trailer back and forth to trails. If you have never been to Moab, this is the perfect way to experience it. Hotels fill up fast... better get a reservation soon.

Looking good! We haven't had any snow to move this year  :cry:  Looking like we are headed back into a drought cycle.

You will have the first one... right Dave?
