Memorial Day Weekend is typically a time when we like to kick off summer and start our wheeling trips back up to the Sierra Nevada mountains. However, with all the snow we saw all weekend long, I think “winter finale� might have been more appropriate. At least, that’s what our good friend Tim liked to call it anyway.

Having come from a background of CJ’s, TJ’s and XJ’s that all came with nice torquey 258 or 4.0L I-6 engines, it was hard for me to get used to the lathargic 3.8L V6 that the JK’s come with. Granted, my previous Jeeps may not have been speed demons but, at least wanted to get up and go as soon as you hit the gas. More than the motor, the problem with lag that the JK’s have comes from the fact that they now come with an ETC or electric Throttle Control. And, while there are solutions available that can help address this lag by allowing you to reprogram your computer, there is another solution that does a great job of helping out as well – Sprint Booser. |
Earlier in the week, there was some discussion about doing an easy scenic run to finish up our week long Moab adventures but, that didn’t last long and, come Friday, it was all about going out with a BANG!! And, that’s why we chose to do a run up Goldbar Rim and a part of the Golden Spike Trail to get out to the Golden Crack. On these trails, we saw lots of big ledges, all kinds of slickrock to play on and outstanding views out to the Colorado River and beyond.
