Blazer Bash September 4-7 2025
- Thread starter Blazer Bash
- Start date
Only one way to find out.
Yeah everyone bring lots of popcorn
I've seen a Riven on Hells Revenge before.
2 Rivan drove from the very southern end of So America to Los Angeles, exc for the darien gap. In support of an Ian McGregor film.
I have seen a c10 go up hells 2 times now. 
Long Way Up, great film.
So my wife is having reconstructive foot surgery and they scheduled it for August 27th. we are trying to get a earlier date and she knows its right before Blazer Bash. If the current schedule holds I'm not gonna make it this year and I will have to wait till next year. Needless to say I am super bummed, but my wife's health comes first. I hope the schedule can be moved up.

Dumb question, total rock newbie, y'all think I could do hells revenge in a stock Taco on 31's? I gotta drive home.

Since @Cucv_M1008 can't make it, looks like I'll have extra room in the cottage at Moab Rim Campark if anyone needs a place to stay. I called them and tried to down grade, but they are sold out.

Hells doesn't have a ton of really technical, flexy big tire stuff. It's more of an approach and departure angle and traction trail. The steepness of the climbs is no joke. I don't think I would be very comfortable without a rear locker. I am sure it's been done on 31's on a stock truck but don't under estimate the trail, it's serious business.
I would try fins and things first, it's hells light.
Well, dammit. Thanks!
Hell's Revenge is a mind f#ck for a lot of newbies. Just talked to a local club member that ran it for the first time in a capable enough Rubicon and they were like, "Hell no, I don't need to run that trail again!" I remember how I felt after the first time running it 20 years ago; my nerves were on edge all day. That club member said they had no problem with Fins n Things.
That said, your truck could do that trail, especially taking bypasses. I always tell people, if you're likely to only make it to Moab wheeling once, you should do Hell's Revenge. It will make you nervous but it's not as dangerous as a lot of other trails. All the better if you're going with a group like Blazer Bash.
I've heard it's a must do for years. Trying to dial back my moochitivity. Shouldn't be getting this excited, I'm a heart patient.
It's a good one to do as a group ride. A lot of it would've scared me when I did it the first time if I was alone but I was behind other guys similar to me and I was like he made it so I guess I can.
I've done Hell's Revenge in Pigeonrat. We skipped most of the obstacles, and got winched up Hell's Gate, but otherwise it was fine. Pigeonrat is basically a stock Nissan Pathfinder running 29" tires.
In short, You'll be fine.

I agree with this. I rode up Hells Gate with @Capt Ron because I wasn't sure how the carb would handle it. We followed @cheavyk10 for most of the trail and that definitely helped me judge where the truck would be on certain lines, gave me a warmer fuzzier feeling.
I’ve come across a stock height Crown Vic out on Hells. Just drove past and waved. A Taco would do just fine.
