Thanks.. I had a general plan and idea of what I wanted to do with it and I've accomplished that so far.
I am looking forward to getting the 74weld kit and the Icon tie rods next week as that will solve the tie rods breaking on the trail issue many are having. Upgrading the tie rods only would...
I seriously hope that several people in this thread are just trolling and only mall crawl. Some of the behaviors and attitudes shown in this thread are dangers to anyone and everyone who enjoys getting out on the same trails..
Please educate yourself..
The National Parks Service states the...
I agree. We need to protect our ability, and the ability of future generations, to have access to these areas..
Destroying things, not respecting the land and environment are things that will quickly put a halt to that..
The problem is, as you can see by many of the responses in this thread...
Ordered a 74weld stage 1 steering rack and icon HD tie rods.

Here is a post made elsewhere on the internet re the topic of respecting the land and environment.
"It is like what happened on our on the Beach and everyone talking about don't drive in the dunes we even had the sea turtle researcher talk to us since it was nesting time, and near the end of...
If someone in the future asks why their local trail was shut down, point them to this thread.. A lot of the responses here will help to answer that question..
Thanks for the link and the video contained within..
I guess we now know why he decided to 'turn himself in' and 'take accountability for his actions'.. He was busted on tape, the news had reported it, and he knew the authorities were looking for him. At that point, he knew he was done for..
Yeah, I respect trails and plan ahead.
You? Here is what you said about the damage to a historical monument
Yes your attitude towards off-roading and protecting the tails and lands are shameful and disgraceful.
Just because you think something is an "unmarked piece of junk" that should be...
No doubt we have all made mistakes and learned from them.
I mainly go out solo and have been doing this since the mid 80's. Here is a short story on why I'll never go off-roading solo w/o a winch..
This was mid 80's so no cell phones etc.
I go out on a very narrow and muddy trail and at about...
Thank you for a break down of the area in question..
I checked onX with the grid and it looks like Saline Valley Road is about 1 mile from that location.
You also make a few valid points:
Motor vehicle travel in the national park is only allowed on designated routes - paved roads, dirt roads...
Attitudes like yours are exactly why trails are being restricted and shut down. Shame on people who think this way! :mad:
The person only contacted them after it was reported on the news saying they were looking for the person responsible.
Anyways, I am 100% confident based on some of the...
It's my understanding that he only owned it after they had put out a news story on it and that they were searching for the person who did it. It's not like he called and reported it right away..
Fully agree and well said..
I'm devastated..
Please tread lightly and use common sense out there. Also, research the area before you go and check the weather and trail conditions before hand. Lastly, make sure you have proper recovery gear.
Based on the rest of the response, I am gonna call this statement.. Complete and utter baloney...
Yet that's exactly what you keep doing...
He was close to a road. In fact, he was 1 mile from Saline Valley Road.
He obviously didn't care to research the area before tearing though it as if he...
There are new people who get into 4x4'ing every day and many don't know what they are doing. Then there are the people who are just plain irresponsible and don't care.
A few years ago I came upon 2 guys stuck on a different path to my left. They were getting ready to winch out when I saw them...
Historic landmarks, and if we should be allowed to destroy them, are now judged by their size and stability?
The stuck in the mud wheeler was right by a road. Like @604Bronco said, it would be different if life or limb was at stake...
Defend this all you want, when trail(s) get shut down...
