Nice pics, ya just got to love Moab in the spring! We'll be going out mid May so we'll return the favor and post up some pics. Some day we'll be there the same time you are and run some trails. I see you saw the Dodge 6x6 T Rex, we've met Stan the owner a couple times out there and on some Colorado trails. I wouldn't want to feed that V10 with the price of gas these days...

That would be cool to meet some of you guys down there. We are going to be down there this weekend too. Can't get enough of that place. We are going to run Pritchett and Behind the rocks. Should be fun.

I'd like to see your pics from Pritchett and BTR, those ledges on Pritchett are pretty big for a 710. The ledge on Steelbender is one of the toughest I think we've done. Last year I took the group on Flat Iron Mesa, the ledge after Tilt A Whirl will get your attention.
Was that Mickey's Hot Tub on Hells Revenge? Seems like the water and gear oil never dry up in that thing! Nothing like making it nice and greasy for the climb out...

Yea. That was Mickeys Hot Tub on Hells Revenge.

That ledge on Steel bender is a good one. It really isn't that bad except for the cliff on your right...We took 4 wheelers on it once and winched then down using that lone tree. They were dangling. It was pretty funny.

I know what you are talking about with a 710. I pogoed down many of declines on one tire when I had my 710. Now with my 712 I can almost stop in mid air after I have adjusted my breaks.

I will post more picts when we get back this weekend from Pritchett and Behind the ROcks.

Those photos are spectacular! Amazing actually.

If you saw the pitiful off roading options I have around here, you'd insist that I sell my 710 and buy a 15 year old Taurus!

I have never had the privilege of driving a 712 I can only hope to be lucky enough some day but I bet it would handle it a bit more gracefully

STPPINZ,

I really like the way your rear seats look. Have you posted any pictures of how you mounted them? This is exactly what I was thinking about doing to my Pinz.

The 712 handles the Golden Crack with ease.

But it isn't that difficult of an obstisle. We even got the mighty Xtera over it on its own power...but we have to strap it comming back.

I havn't posted anything of my seats but I can if you would like. I installed a sliding tool drawer under the rear seat too that has been working out really well. I will see if I can't get some pictures tonight of the set up. I have really like it so far.

Here are some picture of the first row installed and the second just after i welded it up. I will get some more picts soon.
