Crawl daddy , crawler ridge , trail 5, and yellow jacket were my jam back in the day. My current place to play is Sand Hollow in Southern Utah and Price about 2hours outside of Slc and Moab. On a 10 scale I mainly enjoy run 8/10 level trails and will run some 9/10 level trails when I want to get pushed out of my comfort zone.

    Tom,

    Thanks for Joining us! And thanks again for the amazing donations to our members dinner. We have a few guys that go out west to Moab and others on their annual pilgrimages. There are rumors that Paragon may be re-opening. We usually wheel at Rausch Creek as well as Anthracite Off Road Adventure Area (AOAA). Sweet rigs look very well built. Ever compete? I'm currently rebuilding my 81 Scrambler with a new fiberglass body. Its got a 4.0 from a 93xj, locked Scout 44s, full cage with 35s. Fun rig. She should be pretty in the next year.

    That’s awesome. There’s a couple things on my wish list once I finally get back out on the trails.

    What are your thoughts on Sand Hollow? Based on what I've read it seems to be mostly stuff on the low end 1-5 and then it goes right up to 11/10. It's either fun for stock vehicles or rear steer buggies. If you're on 33-37's there doesn't seem to be much that falls into the 'challenging but fun' category. Truth or not so much?
