Nice! Do it right and do it once. Let us know if you need prices on anything or install help.

Here are a few shots from our trip to Utah.

Gregg, Yeah the weight issue was what pushed me toward the 3.5". With the rooftop tent, and tons of gear, and the possibility of towing later, I wanted the extra weight capacity. I kept the stock driveshafts and gears as I have a manual transmission. If you have an auto you will need to do...

We headed back up Devils Lane and camped at Devils Kitchen. Here are some shots of where we stayed: We used our Goal Zero Light-a-Life camp lights powered by our Goal Zero Extreme 350 solar power pack which was charged daily by the roof mounted solar panels on our JK. This made...

Elephant Hill con't Here are some more Elephant Hill photos. Devils Pocket Devils Lane We took Devils Lane down to Chesler Park and my wife Kristen and I hiked the Joint Trail. I highly recommend this short 3 miles round trip hike. Once we entered the tighter rock sections we found some...

Ace, Good point, you should not stray off the designated marked trail. We had been in contact with one of the rangers leading up to this run and knew we were working within the boundaries he recommended and had allowed others to do prior. In truth we did no venture far from trail, or in this...

It sure is used. I will post some more pictures. In fact I need to vacuum the sand out of it when I get home, it is getting a little gritty up there haha!

Elephant Hill We picked-up our backcountry permits at the Needles Visitor Center, and spoke to the Ranger before hitting the trails. A number of trails had been closed due to flooding. Luckily our planned trail, Elephant Hill was still open, so we headed for the trail-head. We aired down in...

Jim, Thanks, we were happy to see the trail all the way through. We saw another local backcountry offroad guide outfit on the Elephant Trail in the Needles District and they had heard about the wash-out and gave us props for completing it. That made us feel pretty good, considering these guys...

Needles District After the White Rim Trail we went back into Moab and refueled and resupplied for our next backcountry stint. I also hit the car wash to remove the mud that was becoming adobe brick on the underside and sides of the car. Solar panels on the roof don't work too well when they...

We completed the White Rim Trail and headed back to the Visitor Center to check-in and let them know that we were OK, considering all of the storms that had rolled through and what not. When we talked to the Ranger she thought we had only driven out to Potato Bottom and turned back, as everyone...

Thanks for following along with us! I love the AEV 3.5" suspension and I am glad I went with it over the 2.5" because I carried a lot of gear and weight on this trip and the added suspension travel saved my rear, literally on multiple occasions on this trip. I was able to crawl over the Hole in...

We got up early and hit the trail again. Knowing that we were headed to a big wash-out about 30 miles up the trail past Potato Bottom. We knew that many groups before us were forced to turn back and retreat the 70+ miles of trail they had already covered, but we wanted to determine for...

Oh how quickly things can change, one minute we are watching the sun set, the next we are scurrying to pack up the rooftop tents and awnings because of an unpredicted incoming lightning storm. With high winds. Waiting out the storm in our rigs on high ground. Great light show though!

Our campsites, not to shabby. A nice dinner on the canyon ledge

Here are a few other shots of us along the White Rim Trail today: Our campsite view:

John, It rained hard for over 24 hours straight yesterday. We are staying tonight at White Crack, about 34 miles in on the trail. Needless to say there are a lot of mud pits and we have heard from others coming the opposite direction that there is a bad washout near Potato Bottom. Only...

Thanks! We are glad you like it. Here are a few shots of it on the trails in Utah, where we are now. The Goal Zero solar panels having been working out great, recharging our Goal Zero Extreme 350 Solar power unit quickly, and we have yet to run out of battery power for all of our gear.

We are camped out in Canyonlands tonight, and back on the trails again. We just spoke with one of the Canyonlands Park Rangers who loved our rigs. The Rangers were interested in getting ARB awnings for the Ranger Rubicons.

I just spotted this rig at the shell gas station off 191 in Moab. We were headed to Canyonlands when we passed it. Looks good in person.
