Moab 2023

[traveler]

Would you be going through Payson or Flagstaff?

I'll be going through Flagstaff for sure.

 

[Paul]

Will you be arriving on Saturday or Sunday?

You know the drill: Leave on Friday - - arrive on Friday. . . Plan to be there in time for dinner at the Moab Brewery. When you getting in Joe? Kevin and his crew should be there early Friday afternoon and think Mike and his group are coming in Sunday afternoon.

I'll be open to picking up any hitchhikers that might be on their way to Moab....

Thanks for the offer.

I don't trust my geometry skills as I have none. I also want it to turn out as awesome as it did the first time, and I think that will take more talent than I have. I had a sweetheart deal with the fab shop that did my SAS. When I was building their websites and they were building my truck. Times change.

I can 100% recommend Paul at Bent Fab, great guy excellent fab guy. BENT FABRICATION | BENT FAB

Funny. I just heard about this shop over the weekend. I met a guy who does wiring for them at a car show.

Paul's a great guy he got started working out of a friends Bronco salvage yard (Driven Auto parts) close to 20 years ago. He did some light fab work on a friend's vintage Stroppe race Bronco and has worked on quite a few friends rock crawlers.

I know Randy from Driven Auto. He had a lot of 1st and 2nd gen Explorers he parted out along with the Broncos.

Driven is no more at the old location Randy and Tiffany got an offer on the land they couldn't refuse.

Is anybody going to be using GMRS? Need to know if I need to program some freqs in my mobile.

 

[traveler]

I've got both GMRS and CB. I need to get better at programming the hand held though.

 

[jrgaylor]

Ok, I will make sure my GMRS mobile frequency. Are at the legal power level, don't need to Moab Ham police harassing me. Haha

Is there anyone going this year that would do Pritchet and Metal Masher with me?

 

[410Fortune]

That should buff out

Passing on Pritchett, but Metal Masher a possibility. . . just depends on the day and the groups' level of "risk" . . .

 

[traveler]

LoL Not unless I trailer my Explorer there! I need to be able to get home!

There is a bypass for window maker on metal masher, I don't recall any other serious obstacles on it.

Agreed. Mirror Gulch is a tight chute, but not quite "seat-fabric puckering". . . Rock Chucker (believe the pic is that obstacle), is optional, no by-pass required. . . Not sure in the 3-4 times I've run Metal Masher I've ever seen any rigs clean Widow Maker without a strap or winch. . .

"Risk" comment more based a few guys with nearly brand-new Broncos, but I know Kevin (and Joe with late model Jeep) would be game. I'm no fan of body damage, but didn't keep me off Moab Rim or Kane Creek in '21, or repeat runs on Cliffhanger, Steel Bender, and the Poison Spider/Gold Bar/Golden Spike in years past.

Same here assuming I bring out the trail Explorer. Ive never driven Metal Masher but rode with someone on it once before so I'm up for driving it. Goes good with Steel Bender the next day right? - got to get in all those body damage themed trails

Right now I'm thinking of driving out Tuesday late afternoon and leaving Saturday morning so trail days for me would be Wed-Fri.
