Officially Moab bound!

 

[Roxasuras]

So, first day went up to Hurrah Pass, and today met MaxA at Baby Lions Back, then did Fins and Things. Awesome time so far. Max thanks for the off road advise!

 

[Roxasuras]

Yes MaxA's Roxor makes mine look like a Hot Wheels toy That is one incredible build Max has!

 

[Roxasuras]

So far the Roxor performed excellent. Without a doubt, one of the things I am most impressed with is this things ability to stay cool. It hit 107 yesterday and my scan II gauge showed the temp never got over 190, I thought that was exceptional. I am a muscle car guy (complete different style and everything, I know) but I still thought that was really great. 4 low was incredible also, I had both feet off the pedals and it just kept creeping along up the rocks didn't even hesitate.
On another note, who knew there were 12 ft Swans in the Colorado River here? LOL

In my research of Moab I recently discovered a swimming hole just barley out of town on Mill Creek. Never knew about it. Apparently it used to be a locals only deal till the inner about and now you have to get there early to get a parking spot. It’s about a 1/4 mile hike to the hole. I bet there’s swans there too.

 

[Roxasuras]

I may have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

[Roxasuras]

Well, that's the end of a great week in Moab, had a blast. Hung with good people and learned a ton about my self and Roxasuras, these Roxors are far more capable that I thought! Can't wait for Easter Jeep/Roxor safari in the Spring

 

[Cheech]

very cool..
Have a question Roxasuras want to bleed the fuel filter very tight what did you use to get it of.?

 

[Roxasuras]

To be honest I have not messed with it yet. I know you have to pinch the two hoses to get them to release, disconnect the electrical plug, and then remove the two bolts. On the bottom it shows an arrow, I would be very careful so you don't break the housing. I am actually getting ready to do mine. I hope this helps. The OM recommends 50 hrs or 400 miles. Let me know how it goes.

 

[Cheech]

I wasn't going to replace it, only drain any water that might be there. Apparently there is a drain at the bottom. I see it. but it's very tight thought you might have already drained it before.

 

[Cheech]

Just turned 50 hrs. will do oil change as recommended in the book.

 

[Roxasuras]

I have, mine was just hand tight.
