SocalAstro Veteran Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Long Beach, CA Vehicle(s): 03 G500, 06 Audi A3 2.0 Posts: 116 | Photos from Moab Hi folks, here are some photos from my recent trip to Moab: http://socalastro.com/moab07/ These are from the the Thompson Valley area, Klondike Bluffs, and some from Posion Spider Mesa. I stopped short of the Weggie section at Poison Spider Mesa. Seeing the Jeep in front of me slide 10 inches towards the wall in a 1/4 of a second did not help my nerves :-) Most of the Jeep folks at the trail were amazed that I was even attempting to go on that trail. I think with more experience and a good spotter, the G can traverse that trail with no problems. I also did lots of other trails in the area, without taking any additional photos. I was too concerened about a small leak I had developed in power steering cooler from having tweaked my front bumper earlier in the trip. I have yet to take a closer look at it, maybe this coming weekend. Peace, Leon | ||

I cannot confirm if it IS in fact PS or Transmission fluid. My initial suspecion was that it was Tranmission fluid, which really worried me as I had an 800mile return trip back to LA :-) -Leon DUTCH - 4/17/2007 11:19 AM SocalAstro - 4/17/2007 1:48 PM I was too concerened about a small leak I had developed in power steering cooler from having tweaked my front bumper earlier in the trip.

hipine Date registered: Jul 2006 Location: US, CO, Bailey Vehicle(s): 460 1980 280GE w. 617A | RE: Photos from Moab Thanks for sharing. Springtime really is magical out there. The deep greens against the red rocks are really spectacular in a way that lots of folks never get to to see. Hard to tell a PS leak from a trans leak as they're the same fluid most of the time. Have to ID the source. I know the 463 has a trans cooler in the front bumper, but they might have a PS cooler too. The latter would look more like a long piece of round tubing, where the former is like a little rectangular radiator. -Dave G. | ||

The PS cooler is a pipe mounted much higher that zigzags in front of the A/C condenser behind the grill.

It is really beautiful this time of year. I wish to go again in a couple of weeks if I can get away from work :-) Otherwise I will wait until the fall. Summers are pretty hot in Moab. regards, Leon | ||

Seriously, you should email some of those pics of your G on that bluff to somebody in marketing at MBUSA. Want to sell a Gwagen??? Put THAT on the website. | ||

I'm not sure if DC would want to bother with my amateur photos Dutch, I'd love to have 2-3 years off and go exploring the NA continent in a G myself :-) Maybe when I get a diesel G perhaps.
