Moab Update: Fullsize Invasion takes over Poison Spider
Yesterday, April 4th, the Fullsize Invasion, as it’s being coined by the magazines took over Moab, or at least a small piece of the trail. The inaugural trail ride for fullsize trail rigs came about with the guys over at Four Wheeler and Off-Road Magazine decided it was time to shed some light on the numerous full size rigs that attend Easter Jeep Safari each year. Carter and Mike from BDS headed out in the company tow rig, the monster 2010 Ram 2500 running 8″ of BDS long arm suspension, 40″ Toyo M/Ts and 20″ BMFs with Iron Cross winch bumpers. For the first year organizing there was an impressive turnout with 20+ full size trail rigs (and tow rigs) making it out to run Poison Spider Mesa. Check out some some of the photos and keep an eye out for more in an upcoming issue of Four Wheeler Magazine.…
