I learned the hard way on Lockhart basin road many years ago when the sky's looked similar and was stranded in a monsoon for 8 hrs. Couldn't do anything but wait for the road to firm up again. And now if there's a chance of rain, I stay home lol. Nice job.
Very nice video of one of the more challenging parts of the White Rim Trail. Our first journey on this trail was cut short due to a rainstorm, but we came back for 5 more times.
I want to do that trail so bad on a coming up trip. I may need some more aggressive tires... but that river section makes me wonder if my truck is too wide/tall now lol
Personally, I wouldn't take a Super Doochie on White Rim, While you would prolly be fine, it wouldn't be enjoyable. You'd be better off parking it in Moab and renting a Jeep for a few days.
@UncleFjester original plan was parking truck for a base camp and backpacking the trail over 4-5 days. Which i still may do just so I know what I'd be getting into. I've day hiked to Murphy hogback in 2020 and have wanted to go back ever since!
Roads are maintained, any all terrain with more than 25% tread will be fine, till it rains. There's not much traffic, but there's a few vehicles you'd see daily, you could always cop a ride from. There was a Group of 5 hikers that had me carry their stuff for a few miles and dump it behind a bush. They just wanted a break from the weight.
I don't really agree with the advice not to use a seatbelt when driving close to the river. I get that, if you do go into the river, the seatbelt might make it more difficult to escape. However, on rough offroad trails, a seatbelt helps keep you positioned properly in the seat so you don't lose control of the vehicle. So, while unfastening the seatbelt might improve your chance of escaping if you do go in the river, it would also increase your chance of going into the river.
These roads aren't anything to jar any driver around. But I hear what you're saying. Much like whether it's better to carry a round in the chamber or leave it empty. Keep watching!
Better to have the seat belt on and need to take it off than end up in the water knocked out cold because you hit your head due to not having a seat belt on

Good advice on seatbelts. I would probably keep windows down also. Easier exit
Beautiful country! One of the the best places to 4wd anywhere. Nice driving and sharing bits of advice.
Thanx for taking us long for the ride.

Ty for this video. Taking on the trail late October.
Looks like big fun and good times!
