Before heading out of town back to Salt Lake, we decided to stop by some of the local businesses that support TeraFlex.
Doug and his staff at Portal RV Resort really helped us out and gave some of our guys a nice place to camp, and let us stage our Tuesday trail run at the resort. They are very high class and always treat us right!
Jim & Barb at Outlaw Jeep Tours will get you out on the trail in your own rental Jeep, or take you on a hardcore ride-along. They have something to fit your needs!
Steve Nantz is legendary in the Off Road World, and has brought that experience to the Moab 4x4 Outpost. Steve started it in 2004 and has been keeping Jeepers on the trail ever since. If you are ever in Moab, stop by and say hi - he is truly one of the greatest guys you will ever meet. The entire crew at Moab 4x4 will treat you like family.

Friday - Day 5: Vendor Show
We are at the final day of the Safari, and took one last trip around to stop and talk to vendors.
Star Fabricating was on hand to display their Smart Door for JK Wranglers, and Vector Offroad had many of their expedtion ready racks and accessories.
And some of the best body armor on display came from Nemesis Industries . We had a 6.4L Hemi in our Blue JK this year, and Burnsville OffRoad provided the engine swap component kit and engine management tuning. This kit is insane!
Overall, each and every vendor had something to show, and tons to talk about! check it out -

Thurssday - Day 4: Vendor Show
We have been attending the Moab Easter Jeep Safari since it's inception. As a result we have some serious seniority points, and are able to get one of the best spots available - inside by the bleachers. This year our booth spot seems to have really paid off. The wind today was in high gear and created havoc for all the vendors outside.
Attendee traffic was brisk, and we were able to talk to many enthusiastic customers and share stories and experiences of life on the trail. It is always fun to reconnect with off-roaders from around the country!
We have two new products that are the feature of this year's show - The Tera44 HD JK front axle, and the HD spare tire carrier and adapter. These two innovative products again reinforce the dominant position held by TeraFlex in the off road industry.
We were able to stop by some of the other exhibitors and see what they brought to the show this year -
Some of our closest east-coast friends made the 2000 mile trek out to Moab just to hang out with us, and to promote a really cool charity event - Topless for Tatas is dedicated to the research and eradication of breast cancer. Check out their event and head out there!
Expedition One brought out their Rat Patrol inspired 2door JK. It has some awesome touches that make it a serious desert contender. A full Elite LCG PreRunner system is what keeps it moving!
Check it out!

Wednesday - Day 3: Hells Revenge
After a few hours of hard labor setting up for the vendor show, we were ready to go play on Hells Revenge with some of our friends from France!
Moab 4x4 Outpost has moved into their new location closer in town, and we stopped by their Grand Opening tonight. They have done a lot to the place and have set it up really well. They were an excellent host and had a huge catered BBQ, live band and plenty to drink. It was a great time! If you are ever in town and want to meet some of the best 4x4 guys in the industry, stop by the Moab 4x4 Outpost and say hi to their crew!

Tuesday - Day 2: Trail Run - Hidden Canyon / Mineral Bottom
We went out with several of our favorite friends and customers to run a very scenic trail northwest of Moab. We started the run at the Portal RV Resort , they are a full-service luxury RV Resort with contemporary amenities, swimming pool, sand volleyball beach, and performing stage with live music many nights. This place is seriously awesome. Doug and his team have put together one awesome resort!
The first part of the trip was Hidden Canyon which is a shorter little trail that starts out off of Potash Road at the Jug Handle turn-off, and intersects near Hwy 313. We then ran over to Mineral Bottom, which drops into the canyon right down to the Green River. It was a great time, and all had fun!

Monday - Day 1: PreRunning the Trail
After getting in to town and unloading our pillows, we decided to do a light pre-run of tomorrow's Hidden Canyon trail run. Dennis and Jen took some time out of their busy schedule to give you a glimpse of the highlights for tomorrow.

Monday - Day 1: Leaving For Moab
I am sure that you can tell by the excitement in the air that we are minutes away from leaving for Moab. Jen is nearly hysterical with anticipation! The Jeeps are strapped down, cameras packed, and new product ready to display. We are on our way - See you there!
