I don't have their skids. Technically no products from them yet as I wait for the Raptor style hinges and uprated carrying capacity.I was very impressed with the Hammerbuilt rear support plate, which I bought to mount the Rotopax Cans. How is the Hammerbuilt skid plate system, or which is best.
Personally I dont understand the rotopax for that configuration. You're exeeding the cost of a wavian can with that, for 20% less capacity and fragility by using rotopax.
you can pick up a day use pass for White Rim Trail (or many other trails) at rhe visitor center in Moab or by going online. Price is only $5 for day use.
The real question was - did you get a permit to drive on this road?
And, why no dogs, fires, or ATVs? It doesn't say no Broncos, lol.
I want to read some stories about people who've been caught on trail without documentation, lol.
And I don't want to read any stories on here of people violating our national parks rules, or BLM regulations. Do you want to get trails shut down? Because that is how you get trails shut down.
Please don't be "that guy". Go buy a small UTV and blast around ruining the area, that is the population base doing its utmost to get trails shut down.
Screen grab at the Maverick in Moab. That's Maverick to Maverick, 2 days of driving the White Rim Trail.Well I'm mega jelly now and this just makes the next month of waiting grind extra slow.
How many hours drive time was White Rim? Is my plan of doing it in a single day too ambitious?
Note that for many of the group stops I kept the Bronco idling and didnt get out due to a spinal injury. Love me some heated seat when in pain!
Single day White Rim trial isn't overly ambitious. It's been done before. You will have to plan it though. Trails were rough after weeks of rain, so unless it's dry for a few weeks before you hit the trail, it will be rough. Plus the speed limit is 15 mph, so you can't really "make up time" for the pucker-pass portions.
Also, you can only drive between sunrise and sunset (according to the regs) so you should be gassed up and at the trailhead exactly at sunrise. And I don't mean at the gas station at sunrise. It could be 35-40 minutes of driving from Moab to the Mineral Bottom trailhead, at least 3p min from Moab to the Canyonlands visitor center and Shafer trailhead and you will want to be there, aired down and chomping at the bit the minute of sunrise.
The biggest factor for you is that there are soooooooooo many amazingly beautiful places to stop and admire the beauty of the trail and Canyons. You'll be skipping that to make good time. For me, that's a dealbreaker and I would alter my plan as such:
Do I want to see the beauty of White Rim Trail?
YES!
Do I have the permitting/time to make it a 2-day drive?
NO!
Then make it a 1-day down and back, going out for about 4 hours and turn-around at lunch.
Suggestion:
1. For maximum Vista views and beauty, I would enter/exit from Shafer pass (and pick up whatever @broadicustomworks hid for you in the vault toilet). Shafer pass is friken beautiful!
2. For maximum anal leakage, danger, and mountain pass thrills, enter from Mineral Bottom Road. You'll get the mountain pass twice, but you won't get to see much of the Canyons due to how slow the pass will be (twice).
Personally, I would go the clockwise route for a 1 day. You aren't doing White Rim specifically for "wheeling", you're going for the beauty. You can definitely find more challenging wheeling elsewhere, but you won't find the views on those trails. (Sorry my cell phone skills won't do the views justice)
