Mastercraft Easter Jeep Safari Coverage - Monday Noon. Report

Moab, Utah ? The sun is shining here in the Moab Valley this morning as blue sky's appear to be here for the day. However, the cold breeze reminds you that you better have a jacket before heading out on the trail. The Mastercraft crew arrived to Farabee's Jeeps this morning where the Jeep Rob-i-con, driven by Lisa Pierce, led the way as the crew headed with Red Rock 4 Wheelers into the Moab rocks.

Downtown Moab was bustling with activity early this morning as groups of Jeeps met for early morning coffee and donuts in search of the day's trail ride. We expect the Mastercraft Team to arrive back in the mid-afternoon so stay tuned and look for a complete report from the rocks of Moab.

Mastercraft Easter Jeep Safari Coverage - Monday A.M. Report

Moab, Utah ? The Easter Jeep Safari begins this morning under the cloudy threatening skys of the Moab Valley. Throughout the weekend the Moab Valley was the center of what could be referred to as the "Perfect Storm." Rain, snow and winds from Northern Utah invaded the entire Moab Valley from the north as a huge Arizona storm came in from the south turning trails from passable to nearly impassable. Deep mud, rising rivers and wild action is what it was all about throughout Moab.

The weekend activities centered around the arrival of thousands of off-roaders to the Moab valley in search of the perfect trail ride and a chance to see what's new in the world of aftermarket performance parts.

The Mastercraft Team has arrived to Moab, Utah and by the time you read this report we'll be well on our way into the backcountry of the slickrock. The crew today will be led by Red Rock 4Wheelers KingPin - Tony Inman, as he takes the Mastercraft crew out for the first of many trail rides this week.

We will return with hundreds of images so stay tuned as we provide a complete report later in the day. In the meantime, visit www.mastercraftseats.com for the latest in advanced technology.

Sunday early afternoon before the second storm arrived we found this Jeep that was out bogging in the mud of Moab. Stay tuned for a full Monday report upon our arrival back from the trails of Moab.
The Mastercraft Rob-i-con Jeep was unloaded from the trailer early Sunday morning in preparation for the many miles of Moab trails. The latest addtion to the Rob-i-con is new Goodyear tires, Poison Spyder rock guards and more...Stay tuned for a complete Rob-i-con detailed webpage soon. Visit Mastercraft Seats.
Red Bull and Mastercraft sponsored Dustin Webster rocked the mud all day!

Mastercraft sponsored professional rock crawling team - Carnage Crew Racing was in town sporting Mastercraft colors all weekend long as the rain and snow pounded the region with bad weather. Look for Carnage Crew Racing in the UROC Pro-National Series on April 9, 2005 and throughout the year.
