Haven't made it to Moab yet, and would really like to cross it off my list this coming year in either late spring or early summer(Late April to early June). With my new job it seems that I am able to actually have the ability to take a few days off and have a life. So i was thinking somewhere between either a trip of 5-7 Days depending on how work is, and if there is any participation interest on the group..
Im also interested in the long overland trails near Moab.
For those of you who have been to Moab, what type of set up drive-train wise would you recommend? Can you be open F/R on 33s and still have fun? Or is this somewhere you would have more fun with at least a locked rear?
I'm currently considering using one of two vehicles. And may even trailer them down there with the new truck if need be. What are your thoughts?
Option 1.
77 F150 Long Bed
35"s with a Spooled Rear
Mechanically New Drivetrain
But Very Long and Wide, wheel base alone is 133"
Option 2.
84 FJ60
33"s Open F/R
Mechanically New Drivetrain
Lower Ground Clearance than the F150, but Narrower and significantly shorter. Wheel base is 107"
Thanks for the input, and if anyone has ideas on a time frame or recommendation that would be great!
