First trip to Moab. Met up with a friend who picked up his trailer in Salt Lake City. My setup is a simple 4x6 enclosed utility trailer that I put a 3500lb axle on flipped upside down for more clearance with some TJ Rubicon wheels and used 33” tires. I mounted the Smittybilt gen 2 RT tent to the roof and added the gen 2 annex. Temps were high 20‘s during the day and low single digits at night. My 3 kids (2 adults) slept comfortably each night. Only had 5 days there so we made the most of it for never being there before. Went on Fins and Things, Hell’s Revenge and Moab Rim trail. Spent the last 2 days hiking around Arches NP and Canyon Lands NP. Jeep is a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon with an AEV 2.5” lift, additional 3/4” spacers in the front, Warn winch, Warn wheels, 37” Nitto Trail Grapplers and Rock Slide Engineering rocker guards. After hauling my 3 daughters with all of their crap plus camping gear I will definitely be re-gearing the truck to 5.13’s ASAP View attachment 636883
Was that on January 19th when we had the snow squall? If so, yes it was crazy windy!Today I returned to Saskatchewan. It's a chance to reconnect with family. I also took the opportunity to resupply from my storage unit. Selecting gear better suited to lower temperatures. Such as a winter sleeping bag. But along the way, managed a few photos. The winds across the Canadian prairies were brutal. The upside of travelling in such conditions was achieving an average of 26 MPG. Beauty.

It really was windy, I swear
This is a fine rig. I also like the Bogey avatar. Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a great adventure movie.1955 Willys Window Delivery on 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief frame and running gear.
