I may still try to make this if someone needs a copilot. Am supposed to meet with friends in Telluride that week so may drive down and include Moab.

Still wouldn't be able to make it until Saturday morning but I'm thinking of bringing my buddy who writes for an online car site to do some coverage. Only problem is that he'll want to drive my truck.

What are the planned routes for Sat & Sun?

I'm currently working myself in the western direction so it's looking good for making this so far. As well as I'll have a spare copilot seat if anyone would like to ride along

Depending on People's arrival times Friday night, we can do dinner or a night run.

There are currently no times planned for lunch in Saturday or Sunday so bring trail food and coolers with drinks.

So I'll look to possibly meetup with you all on Sunday then. Hell's Revenge cost me a new transfer case, driveshaft, and pushed the bumper into my rear quarter panel. So I'll pass on that one. But plan about 5 hours for that trail and once you get in there in a bit, you can't really turn back.

Sounds like you need to go, show that trail who the boss is...

If I recall you did not take the easy turnouts while doing the entire trail, correct?

After running the trail in a side-by-side during EJS last year up to the Overlook I didn't see anything bad that the Raptor couldn't handle and if we do go out the plan was to go to the Overlook then return. That should be less than two hours.

That is correct. I attempted, and completed, all the hard shit which undoubtedly is responsible for the damage. Probably all from tip-overs. There are still spots the Raptor will rub but mostly just trailer hitch, exhaust, etc... noting major.
