My best friend that is getting a commander soon (and joining as soon as he gets it) is also a trucker. He is actually buying his own truck within the next month and will have a flatbed trailer. He would be more than happy to cart us out there for just helping with diesel. Only thing is how many sxss can you fit on a 53 foot trailer? Gotta estimate every one 5 ft wide? theres 10 maybe 11 for the non S or non wide rhino folks.

You could haul only 5. End to end. Would not fit side to side. You could load then sideways, but you would be illegal without a wide load escort vehicle.

Moab and the Paiute are about 200 miles apart, would be awesome to see both, lol!

Right. Might as well make it a 11 day trip once your out there.

Entrance to Hell's Revenge trail.

Went to Paiute Trail last year for a week. It was some great riding, but; we were shut out of a lot of good trails due to eveyone riding RZRS. There gates are only 52" wide.
We are going back this year for 2 weeks with 50" machines.
Look forward to riding the trails we could not get on last year.

Heck I want to go to Moab!

I'm registered, got reservations ......(tech trails) here we come.....

Congrats! You will love it out there. I've only been once, and it was in my Scout. The scenery is amazing, as is the traction on the "slickrock". Take plenty of pictures.

And on your way home you can discuss how much better the riding is in Tennessee....and how disappointed you were after spending all that money..

Tennessee and Moab are both excellent riding destinations, but they are totally different. That's part of what makes it great. There are some really steep, nasty rock climbs in Moab but the driving style is totally different because of the sheer amount of traction you get on the sandstone. You get to a technical section and start to get a little off camber, you then notice that you are on the edge of a 1000' cliff and there ain't a freakin' tree in sight to stop your fall. It's enough to make your butt pucker a little extra.

Yeah, you're gonna spend a wad of money to get out there and back, but it is totally worth it just to experience something so different. Hopefully it won't be long before I get to go there again.

this will be my 4th yr at rotr, I'm lucky enough to get to go with the trail armor guys, they will be a sponsor again this yr, look us up, they will have a trailer set up inside the arena, we ride all day then do installs till midnight.
