SLC to MOAB in the Teryx!

Martin M · 2008-09-26 11:50:27

Last week Some friend and I went on a 300 mile treck to Moab from Cedar Fort (South east from SLC). We called it the Ultimate Adventure! We had 3 Teryx's and a RZR. We didnt know exactly how we were going to get there so that made it more of an adventure. We trecked through 3 small towns and picked up maps on the way, (Gunnison, Castle Dale, Green River). I thought for sure we would get picked up by the Cops in the small towns but they didnt seem to care at all. We stayed on dirt roads and trails most of the way except for in small towns. We left Thursday afternoon and arrived in Gunnison around 9pm. We drove right to the Subway and ate. Then gassed up and headed into the Manti Lasal Mountains.

The Lasal mountains are awesome! I cant wait to go back to explore more trails. We camped 7 guys in one tent. Dont worry it was a big tent. The next morning we headed out through the Lasals and dropped down into the San Rafal Swells range. It was really cool to see the transition from mountains to sandstone cliffs and desert terrain. We stopped in Castle Dale on the way and ate Lunch. When we would tell people what we were doing they thought we were crazy but they were excited to help us get to our next town. It was pretty cool.

After Making it to Green River we knew we could make it to Moab. We found a Pipeline service road that was mostly straight but kind of up an down a lot. It was a fun road you could open it up on. This is where Jeremy trashed his teryx. He was in front of everyone so we didnt see it happen. He said he was hauling around 55+ when he went through a dip and it pitched him sidways then it was over. We figure he flipped about 3 and a half times. Rory was with him when it happend. Jeremy had a headache, and rory was fine. The teryx was trashed as you can see from the pics. We had to change 2 tires and tow him to the closest road, I95 about 15 miles from Moab. We had a friend driving a trailer down with my truck on it so we loaded mine and his up and drove into moab. The other 2 guys made it the rest of the way.

The Machines:

Jeremys Teryx:
Custom lowered seats and cage. His is the one in the back of the truck. Unfortunatley we did not get very many pictures of it before he totaled it. The sad thing is Jeremy and Rory got there cages and roofs powder coated the day we left and jeremys only lasted about a day before it was totaled.

My Teryx:
The Black teryx on the front of the trailer.

Ryan's RZR: Pretty much stock with a nice stereo.

Rory's Teryx: Also has Lowered Seats and Cage with a Ton of Cool Stuff

Martin - looks like a fun ride! That teryx did not hold up too well did it! How long did it take you to get to moab ?

Fasttrax · 2008-09-27 10:10:18

wheres the invite? :cry: I have been wanting to do a ride like that for years, except the crash I can do without.

MR. KRYPTONITE · 2008-09-28 11:57:36

Man I wish I would have done this ride! Looks like a great time! Glad to hear that everyone is ok. Where are the pix of Martins wreck??? I have talked to many people that are interested in a ride like this one. Do you guys have a new trip planned yet?

BTW- Nice job on the rigs! I'm really into the lowered cages.

THX for sharing!

Fasttrax · 2008-09-28 18:07:24

Let me know on the next run like this you do. I think it would be a riot and have always wanted to do something like this before I am too old and want to slow down.

RedMan · 2008-09-29 10:19:03

Awesome trip. Can you post a map or GPS tracks?

Badley · 2008-09-29 11:15:59

Definately the "Ultimate Adventure"! Sounds like you had a lot of fun Martin. Glad it was a "big tent"

Sorry about not inviting anyone. Some of my friends planned it all out and I decided to go at the last minute so I was in a hurry getting everything ready... I didnt have the maps or GPS so Im not exactly sure what trails we took. My same friends are planning a trek to St George from possibly Hobble Creek Canyon on October 17th. They are going to do it in one day. Anyone can go that wants, but Im not sure what the exact plan is. The tough part is getting someone to drive enough rigs and trailers to the end to pick everyone up. Ill post more details as they are planned.

What a cool ride!! Glad all are okay, must have been one heck of a ride!! :shock: Anything left of it or is it a total loss?

DRAGONFIRERACING · 2008-10-13 09:08:05

They said it was a Roll at 55 mph that caused all the damage
