JKU XCountry Part 7, Sandia Peak Tramway, Canyon De Chelly

Our next stop (after Gliman tunnels missing video) is Sandia Peak Tramway.30 Tramway Rd NE, Albuquerque, NM
Sandia Peak Tramway info: http://www.sandiapeak.com/

then we stop at a few lookouts at Canyon De Chelly (https://www.nps.gov/cach/index.htm) to see the views. I take a ton of videos and photos with my Nikon P900, without this zoom you would not see much by eye from the lookout points.

I was serinated at Best Western Copper Hills Inn, 1565 E South St, Globe, AZ by a trumpeter during check-in

Driving cross country in the JKU was not bad at all, nothing like the old jeeps that's for sure. I would do it again in a heartbeat! Want to go back, like now!!

We had no idea what to expect, I researched what I could online. Just my wife and I on the trip. Wish we did a whole week at Moab, there are so many trails to explore, even a week you would not have enough time.

First thing I recommend is joining the Moab friends for wheeling group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/478376492216414/?ref=group_header
Many of the members helped me out on deciding what to do there!

2nd is a good GPS and the Moab “guide to Moab back road and 4 wheel drive trails” newest edition http://amzn.to/2Ch8RV6, you'll need it because you will lose cell signal when you are out there. 3rd is know your vehicle, and know its capabilities.

First time off-roaders would be fine on the easy trails and some of the moderate, but most the hard trails you need extra clearance, more articulation and sometimes lockers. A winch is also a good idea if you go it alone like we did. Ride along with us and see :)

Work done so far on the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon MW3:

Repaired the sway bar disconnect.

Found out the clock spring is under extended warranty through Jeep, so it is replaced free if defective. So is the left cylinder head...

Mountain goat series 3” spring lift and some Joyroad MT200 35” tires. They work GREAT! This is the 2nd Jeep I installed them on (CJ7) and I think they are GREAT!.

Skyjacker shocks installed
