Jaleo 2- Building a 2012 E-350 4x4-Third time is the charm

Trip to Moab and then Colorado.

We started doing the Rim Rocker. The Main trail is not difficult at all, but we decided to take a detour. The trail to the Big Johnson Mine (I think that's the name) proved to be a challenge. One trailer flipped, and since there was no way to make a U-turn, we had to move a couple of huge rocks with the winch and bottle jacks. Even after moving the rocks, it was a tight squeeze for the van.

Big rock on the other side. Rim got a bit of "curve rash."

This was the first time I was able to enjoy Moab with the van at 100%. It was nice. The most memorable trail was the Fins and Things. It's rated as difficult. I have no issues doing it, even though my e-locker was not working. I discovered weeks later that the ground wire for the e-locker was corroded. I had no locker for months. I guess the front Torsen LSD really does its job.

After a few days in Moab, I grew tired of the desert landscape and left on my own for higher ground. I went to Ouray and went to Yankee Boy Basin. Spend the night at 12,000 ft and climb a fourteener (Mount Sneffels) the next morning. That was beautiful.
