Antica Forma, best damn pizza we’ve ever had. Hard to go 2 for 2 with us. The pizza is insane. 10/10. The carrot cake is 7/10. Like the Pizza had tastes I never tasted. Pitcher of beer. Very good times.

Drove out to Dead Horse Point after dinner. It’s always stunning. We got a little sun today. She’s so cute. She got way too close to the edge. I wasn’t excited about it. She said if I loved her I would come out. I can definitely can use that tomorrow on Cliffhanger.

Great pics... I am intrigued about this restaurant. I'm glad you're finding good places, you have a knack for it... I've always felt it was kinda hit or miss here. I need to follow you to food

What is going on with your Jeep man? Is there anything we can help with? Hand you wrenches? Pray? Get some parts?

I am going to go tomorrow and see what happens... We could not get it to do the stumbling/half stalling thing again after it had a chance to really sit and cool down. Not sure what was happening, I can only guess heat soaked injector rail after the drive? I do appreciate the concern!! I will be there and I guess we'll see if it was a one time thing or not. I'll also try putting in premium fuel in the morning.

Man, I would go back to Antica Forma any day of the week. Tried to get to Milt’s for a shake after Dead Horse Point, but we were too late. Tomorrow.

Doughboy is good for a pastry. I’ve got their Crodough five days straight in Moab visits. If you like sweet, it’s so good. I say I’ll never get another one every time I go, and the next day I’m at their counter.

Maybe later in the week we can go!! Anything but sunset grill

I'll have to look up doughboy too. I can always be down for a good pastry... You'll have to tell me about your favorites tomorrow

Smuggle a slice from Atica Forma out onto Sunset’s deck. Boom.

I rolled on Cliffhanger. I’m fine. Jeep remarkably fairly unscathed. I listened to my spotter. @hosejockey61 pulled the plugs. We blew out the cylinders, reinstalled the plugs and started the Jeep. It’s misfiring and rough idle. Flashing check engine light. I can’t thank the guys we had enough. Y’all were amazing. I was ok physically, but emotionally I was and am not ok. They were all on it though. @hosejockey61 was great help and some of this will be on BFH for educational purposes. @macleanflood got some great video of the roll and I don’t see how it was predictable or preventable.

Thanks to all of you. @Apparition, @Beestinger, @macleanflood, @MagnumV8, @Woodrow, @Wildman, @hosejockey61, @Bob in Texas, @inkedrose

Rough day for me. Every other obstacle was great and the Jeep performed flawlessly.

After I was winched back upright and up the obstacle everyone else winched up and even winching a couple of the rigs could have rolled without a second winch from the opposite side. It was not intuitive to me and I didn’t predict it.

I know once I got up the last obstacle that I just jetted, but I was out of sorts emotionally. I apologize to all the guys on the trail who did so much to help me out and the wives who helped my wife through.

I’ll see what I can sort out tomorrow with the rig. I need to get the engine running right.

Hopefully someone will post some video.

Glad you're ok

 

[Irun]

Definitely a rough start and glad everyone is okay. There's nothing better than wheeling with a group of capable people. It makes a bad situation much easier to get through!

Glad you and your wife are ok!!!


I said in my catch-up post —- 'Stay on 4 wheels'..... Task failed....


I worry I'd be like you if/when I get to MOAB in mentality - 'Hell yeah, I'll try it'. Hope you can get the Jeep running right and can enjoy & ride the rest of the trip!

Most important is you and your wife can ride another day!

I’m glad there was minimal damage and that you were physically ok.

On my drive back to the cabin it dawned on me that it’s good you weren’t the first one up. Luckily two of us were up there to be able to pull it back over.

 

[3jeepfan]

Glad everyone's OK. I'm sure it was traumatic. I've never rolled, but friends have.

 

[Wildman]

Hopefully you can figure out why it's acting up.
Mostly glad you are OK.... Jeep can be fixed.

 

[E-Ticket]

Damn! Hope the rig is working well again and you and your wife are okay and can make the most of the rest of the week. Glad you had some great support from the crew here in Moab.

I’m assuming you got your hydro steering fixed. I hope so Ryan. Thanks for your help today. Totally sucks, but it is what it is.

 

[Rickyd]

Seat belts were worn? I hope it's just a couple scratches to the paint and pride

 

[JMT]

Thanks buddy. I reach and step out, at last moment back in. I’ve done this twice now. Don’t know how to respond differently. Nothing happens in your brain. You think it’s not going over and then you realize it is.

 

[JMT]

Seat belts were worn?

If I didn’t have my seatbelt on I would be seriously injured.

 

[Rickyd]

You think it’s not going over and then you realize it is.

I honestly like trucks better in that regard. Longer wheelbases roll much slower.

Love my tj though. Nothing will replace my little convertible
