White Rim Road in Tremor Maverick ✔️

[Spyke Hyzer]

Just completed the White Rim Road. Tremor handled everything with ease except one deep sand steep climb out of a dry river bed. Amazing trip.

Aw, man! Reminds me of taking Potash road to Canyonlands in my brand new S10 Blazer back in the 80's. Kept looking for Wile E Coyote.

Aww, that's great! I took a few days at Moab with an Explorer group back in, I think, 2000. "Serious Explorations", they were called. Many had some very modded Explorers, but on my 99, all I could do was crank the torsion bars up front and change the leaf springs for 32 inch tires. Oh, an Auburn limited slip diffy in back and skid plates also.

I'm not sure which trails I took, but this one looks familiar. Nothing extremely gnarly for my vehicle though. I recall getting up to Top of the World, but based on the trail descriptions, I don't think I went up a trail that intense. Too long ago.

I know that I want to go back there - with my Maverick when it comes. More for the scenery than for the rock crawling (which is a big thing there too). I'm not as interested in putting the maverick to the ultimate test as I am seeing what nature offers around Moab.

Looks like a great time. I highly recommend the White Rim trail as a bucket list trip. I biked/camped that trail a few years ago and it was fantastic

The Tremor gives you options that's for sure. I didn't really get it to push it to it's limits, but it naturally made me want to lol. At about 3K miles, I took it up a very sketchy pass "road" to Hermit Lake in Colorado. I think that was at the limit. On this trip, bottomed out a couple times, scrapes, pulled the back bumper off it's clips on both sides and got buried in a sand berm and had to be dragged out. All part of the adventure. Def spent the money on the package to use it. It performed impressively even fully loaded with 4 adults and a truck bed packed to the brim.

Yep, whole thing. Entered at Shafer Canyon. The sand at the wash got me high sided when trying to exit...luckily the only other vehicle other than 1 motorcycle was there at that exact moment and was able to tow me off it...had to dig the sand down a bit and hit it with some speed, but was able to climb on out.

Nice. So u drove thru the river ? Even the Tremor could use a 1 inch lift. -)

Great trip & pictures! That drive is on my Tremor bucket list. Is yours Avalanche Grey? I've got a twin.. Did you air down and carry a compressor? Did you carry an extra spare? I'm driving up the North Fork Rd of Glacier National Park in a couple of weeks; will post pics.

I would love to take my Mav there and unload my MTB and ride some of those trails on my bike.

When I was Moab, Lion's Back was still opened. The group "encouraged" me to try it, but I did not. A few did, but this was all really new to me. It's closed now, apparently people have died on that obstacle.

Anyway, there was a sandy hill leading up to the area where we could watch others and I had to take a couple of stabs at it. Turns out that unlike snow, the sand required some moderate wheelspin to keep moving.

I'm glad you enjoyed it there.

What size tires are on the Tremor? Are they the 235/65-17s?
