      I have a mostly stock Ram 3500 4x4 and have looked at driving some of these trails. Seems like a Level 3 trail is about as extreme as one would want to do with a pickup (Lockhart = level 5). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Thin aluminum tubing with a cardboard reinforcing liner - sounds like a workable driveline configuration to me! That rock sure put a crimp in the driveline. I'm surprised Chevy didn't have their PR people out there doing a photo shoot of their product in such beautiful, rugged surroundings. The caption could have been, "Rugged Chevrolets will get you into the most beautiful, desolate country to get broken down in." Your work is really time-intensive in this back country - that job must have taken you at least 4-5 hours just to get to it, and haul that truck out of there. Clever fix for the transfer case fluid, and good commentary.

    Greetings again from Aus. No-one can say that your truck is pretty, but by crikey, it is a beautiful machine that is tailor made for the jobs that you do.
    However, after watching todays episode I have realised that the truck is only half of the equation. You, Sir, are just as important to this combination. There is almost a symbiotic relationship between you and the truck becoming a single entity, with each half doing their speciality and they would be nothing without each other.
    Congratulations on building that relationship and well done with this job.

    You seem very well informed about the Utah Monolith Rory. I wonder what kind of guy would have the equipment to make and drag something like that all the way out there?

      Honestly 2-3 guys and a truck could of easily placed it there. It was mostly sheet metal held together with rivets.

      @@sun_dreaming Thus the reason for subtly hinting that someone such as Rory with fabrication skills, knowledge of the terrain, and an offroad vehicle such as tomator might, well, you can figure out the rest.

      Rory lives by the "Code" of BLM/NPS/UTStateParks, Native Lands et al, ETC! That is where and how he earns his living. They respect him because he respects them and advocates their cause. WHY would he jeopardize his dinner ticket to pull a stunt that brings him no remuneration? If anybody has an idea of who did it, probably Rory does. I suppose the various agency 'cops' have already questioned him. Rory lives in a 'small town' so please don't question or doubt him. As one of the good guys we should support and uphold him. RORY for MAYOR of MOAB!!!
