Moab 4x4 Trails

[Apples]

Thanks for the write up! I am new to off-roading and I hope to travel to Moab to try out the Bronc's legs and my limited skills. I have some friends with Jeeps that also are rookies and want to go. Any other advice? Thanks

Umm ...

Slickrock isn't usually slick. It's more like sandpaper when it's dry but can get slippery when wet. Lots of terrain in Moab is intermittent slickrock and sand. The leading cause of CVs breaking in Moab is suddenly regaining traction between sand and slickrock. Throttle control is important and just sending it usually result in spectacular failure.

I am a never been and never done that (new to off-roading), but I am really looking forward to going to Moab. I have been doing a fair amount of research about what Moab has to offer and as a rookie I am worried that I will overstep my limits. I will likely keep to the easier trails, but which moderate trails would you recommend that have by-passes around the more challenging obstacles? -Thanks

Pick up the Funtreks books. Their ratings are conservative and they are good about telling you exactly where the tougher parts are and where the bypasses are.

Pretty much all obstacles on a trail has bypasses. There are numerous obstacles on a trail. Look at the ratings and if you stay with hell’s revenge and fins and things as your highest level trail you will be ok.

For a comparison, Jeep host a jamboree every year at Moab. Lots of sport and Sahara trim Jeeps (no lockers), with 31” tires go on fins and things. They get thru it with rarely any damage. Almost never have to be winched or pulled out of a tight spot. Cant say never because there is always that one rare instance.

Here is a grand Cherokee that went on hells revenge in Moab on my trip. That should ease your issues a little. Get out there and have fun.

I'm surprised Gold Bar Rim or Cliffhanger didn't make the list.

I haven't done them and would have never attempted them in my Xterra. Maybe with the Bronco once I've got 35s or larger and a lift on it.

Yeah, I wouldn't of taken an Xterra on either one as well. We know the Bronco can do Gold Bar Rim as they show the last clip here coming up the waterfall.

Thanks everybody. Moab is one of my favorite places. There is something for everyone; every level of experience and every build of vehicle.

I'll probably be out there 3-4 times before I even get my hands on my Bronco but it will be destination #1 once I do have it.

That's one long ass day. Most people split it into 2-3 days.

I know but only 30 days at MOAB is short to we plan our trip 1 year before at each time, we rent a house for 30 days, we make
2 trails per day or white rim only one day ! . From home it`s 4 days to go at MOAB and 4 days to return. we stay at MORRIS LAST RESSORT 30 NIGHT. We have all MOAB trails in our GPS.. Yes we plan to return there with the BRONCO.

Great write up, thanks! Do Moab Rim trail and you may change your mind about the best views, they are spectacular! I did it in my F150 on 35"s, rear LSD only. Had to be pulled 4 different times. I think with a front locker I could have cleaned it.
