And just a heads up, I will be bringing all my diag test equipment (NGS, WDS, AllData, breakout box, ect) in case it is needed on the trails. I don't know if that kind of stuff has been needed before but alas, we shall have it available!

You can never have too many tools on the trail

 

[Turdle]

Please put us on the "Maybe" list.

That is the honest truth right there, a routine axle replacement at Smorr turned into a nightmare requiring tools from most of the camp, even got to be the 1st to use one of Rick's bolt extractors lol

 

[NHarris]

Put me on the Maybe list now... I'm unsure if I will have the Jeep ready by May.. And I don't really want to risk scratching my Ranger...

 

[gmanpaint]

I'm in.

Will be looking for a cabin rental in town for our stay.

Unfortunately the EX wont be going. Wont have a tow rig or trailer by then. We will be looking for others to traverse easier trails with in the FJ Cruiser. We can run trails such as Fins & Things no problem, so will still be a lot of fun for us.

Looking forward to wheeling with some of you again, and meeting others for the first time.

I think I got everyone/everything?

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Ill be bringing my 99 Mountaineer this time. The Navajo will be saying home. Most likely I will say at the KOA

 

[Randall]

Not quite sure which vehicle I'm bringing. The Explorer if it's ready. If not, something else cobbled together. Most likely staying at KOA.

 

[rickybobby]

Why do I have to live so far from MOAB? I started looking into the cost of this trip, and if I trailer in it will cost me nearly $1300 in gas just to get there and get home. Still gonna try to swing it, possibly by buying a lower mileage explorer that i would trust to make the drive.

 

[Randall]

Hard to beat the peace of mind that a trailer gives you.

 

[rickybobby]

That is true Randall, but hard to swallow the added gas when my tow rig gets 9mpgs with the trailer on fairly flat ground. I dont even want to think about how low it could go in CO

 

[Birdy]

I'll probably join the other Texans at the KOA.

 

[Birdy]

I'll be putting these on for the trip. 36"

And I may bring a bud and fix the motor in this for him to take and play with!

[Randall]

Holy giant picture, batman. I'm pretty sure that was lifesize.

 

[Rick]

Open question to the group...

Shall I reserve a spot for us for a Saturday night dinner? Or do you want to try something else this year??

 

[Birdy]

Yea, sorry for that, don't understand why it did that??

 

[MrQ]

I'm still debating whether or not to foot the expense for purchasing a trailer and beefing up the Ram to tow Red to Moab or just take the Explorer.

Breakage 1300 miles from home is a pretty big issue, but probably not too likely considering my Explorer is running like a top. Hmm, decisions, decisions.

A couple years ago I towed a small tent trailer 1100 miles to and 1100 miles from and also ran;
Bukk Canyon
7 mile rim
Top of the World
Metal Masher
Cliff hanger
Steel Bender
Hell's Revenge

So you really shouldn't worry unless you're a 'point n stab' kind of driver
