If you just add another axle to the boat trailer...
Why not simply grab the local one and be done with it before you arrive? Is there some reason to driving all the way to Moab with a broken truck and then spending your trail time replacing the tranny? I think I'd rather show up with the working truck rather than a broken pile of parts.
That trailer isn't big enough
I'm showing up a day early and this trans is cheaper.Why not simply grab the local one and be done with it before you arrive?

Shawn's is a heavy sob!!!! Lol
It has brakes?
Think so
I built a tow bar in an afternoon, cost me like $50.
Tow bar wouldn't be bad to build, but getting a brake setup would be something else. Not sure towing a fullsize 4x4 w/o brakes onboard would be good.
I'd probably chance it, from Phoenix to Moab I don't think there are any major mountain passes or anything. But I have been known to do dumb stuff.
Don't flat tow it.
AZ trans is cheaper since you aren't paying for a trailer.
UT trans should hopefully runs the trails, then trailer home.
I get the idea of not depending on the truck to and from BB, I'm towing mine.
But I'm also out $1050 to rent a truck and trailer for essentially 2 days, though I'm keeping it for 7.
I do that each year, it just goes on the CC.

Ya no way I'm flat towing it behind the tahoe, the truck sits to high, longer and heavier. It would push me all over the place. If it comes it's on a trailer so the moab trans is the best bet.
Even on a trailer it's not exactly the safest but th3 best answer.
I want to take the truck but at the end of the day which is the safest way to pull it off.

No the crazy thing will be when you still have it 5 years from now and it's running just fine.Yes, like I was telling @blazinzuk I almost wanted to trailer it down just to show the people who want to see it at the BBQ.
I woke up this morning and saw I still have time to get a used trans in...It's a crazy idea and probably dumb, will probably blow up on the trail but knowing my luck it would survive the entire weekend and blow up coming off the trailer.
My crew cab is running a 700r4 I bought for $150 in unknown condition, didn't even know for sure it worked. It was in my K5 for 6 years, and the crew cab since 2013.
Moral of the story is I should take the free trans.
And stop wasting money on "stronger" aftermarket parts.
