Moab 2010, MAY 22-23

[justsomeguy]

I still must complete my sliders and now my spare tire rack is busted from my Mojave Road jaunt, so I am going to try and re-do both front and rear bumpers! and possibly re-gear to 5.13:1's.
Completed the trailer's axle flop today, now I need to get tires that match the lift! Oh yeah and take the HAM test so I can talk on the 146 MHz simplex channel.

Actually arriving Saturday evening / early Sunday morning (May 15th /16th), plan on spending a few days on two wheels before the main body arrives...

Ready for some trail runs Wednesday or Thursday - - or just holding down the fort at Moab Brewery. . .

[Heath]

We're coming in Thursday probably by about noon and rolling out Sunday...

 

[chad551]

I will be there Wed I was planning on getting a RZR for the day and exploring some trails on that. Look to leave on Sunday or Monday depends what is going on. Deluxe tent site rented, she said it will be in Row 7 in front of the cabins. So Mike (mrboyle) you still want to split it?

 

[reapereviltwin]

Will be rolling in Thursday afternoon/evening. Leaving Monday morning as early as I can.

Side note: I orginally reserved two campsites, situation has changed so the second site is not required. Thursday night thru Sunday nite if any one is looking for a site those nites. (not cancelling second site, it can be used for a EF bs'ing area if no one needs it)

What day are you leaving and what is your planned route? I'm leaving from Chicago Monday morning and may have to swing south to sell an engine in KC. I'll have multiple drivers too.

 

[chad551]

Not sure what day/time I am leaving yet (likely will be Tuesday A.M.). On my last 3 trips I end up leaving STL around 4-5 PM and drive to Colby KS and stay in the Holiday Inn for the night, and finish the drive the next day during the day light cuz I like driving through Colorado. I also take Hwy 70 the entire trip.

 

[RFR2212]

Okay. Alot of my plans are still in the air for travel. If a few friends come, we may push monday to get to Denver. The next day, drive the mountains. I still don't know if I'm going through KC to deliver this motor.

Also, anyone interested, I've got a d44 with cast wedges from a bronco/f150. I've got arms, maybe upper coil mounts, an extra carrier, and can even work in f250 arms which are already cut for high steer. I also believe I have all the brake parts which are certainly good enough for core charges. Free delivery to Moab! If interested, PM me and we can talk price. I will be there wed-sun the same weekend, different camp grounds.

 

[RFR2212]

I would also like to add, I've got a great 0 mile 306 v8 with either a carb or Fi setup with a t-5wc to d20 setup available to be delivered to Moab or along the way with tons of explorer specific swap parts and some 99-02 f250/350 wheels and tires. Again, PM me to work something out!

 

[tdavis]

Looks like I'll be flying to Chicago on the weekend of this..

So that makes this trip a no go for me at this time.

 

[Rick]

Ouch, bad timing. Looks like everyone else is escaping Chicago that weekend

 

[tdavis]

Yea, I did not set the dates.. ANL did..
