Looks like a fun trip. I did a run in the Swell a few years back with a bunch of Mitsu Montero owners. We each had 10 extra gallons of gas but 2 of us still ran out and we had to break open the drain valve in the bottom of the Mitsu gas tank to transfer fuel to the other Montero's. Fortunately we only had to do this once and were able to make it to a gas station.

Your picture of the Slee slider in mud is perfect...You can just almost make out what it says.

What are the specs on the closer truck in that picture. I like the looks of it.

Looks like you had a grand time. Just our luck though...Next week looks like ideal weather. Can't we switch spring breaks???

We went down to Cedar Mesa. Great time and then the desert winds came. Biggest sandstorm I have seen. Went from Blanding all the way to Green River...Game over...Now, snow...You gotta love Utah. Well, sometimes at least.
