Enjoy :rasta:

As a bonus, if you have high bandwidth access, and a quick time viewer here is a video (2.4MB) of Jayson sliding down the left side of Dump Bump.....
I just love the sound of Swampers on Slick rock. :D :D

Spring said they just opened a new trail that is of yet unnamed. It took them 11 hours to run it the first time!
We definatly needed more time there.... Maybe next year. :)

Also note, I've got Garmin GPS tracks for all the trails we ran. You can E-mail me if someone needs waypoints/track info.....

We have a great variety of rigs, which works great since we don't have everyone getting hung up at the same places. We all take our turns during the trip.. :D :D

Pictures just do not do the place justice..... You just have to experience it. :)

Yes I know. And because we don't have any high rocks or mountains here at Finland those Moab scenes will be more than
visual orgasm for us :eek: :eek:

We are planned to stay about one month there at west cost by hanging around, checking some cool places and collecting some 4x4 parts to be shipped here.

Make sure that anone who has a fear of heights understands what you will be doing.... We had a couple that drove all the way home after only a couple days because his wife was freeking OUT. :(
Of coarse if we would have known, we would not have taken them on Moab Rim and Hell's Revenge the first two days.. :rasta:

Mark I am jealous! You guys have a really good group to go wheelin with! I have just about wheeled with everyone but you and Jayson. I've seen ya qute a few times in Disney but haven't got the chance to go on a ride with ya! We are headed to Montrose for our trip this year. I think we might stick around and participate in the Superlift deal the weekend after Labor Day. Man I am excited to wheel! I just can't say enough about the personalities in that group, The nicest people you could meet.
Later, jake

Mark takes some awesome shots, I am game if he is. I am getting together with a group of wheelers from Colorado over Memorial Day weekend, we'll be running some Table Mesa trails of their choice. Should be a good time and ample photo ops :D

I'll be wheelin around Disney for Memorial day, and there is going to be a bunch of people out. I'm sure I could find some opportunities to snap a few shots! :D :D

They opened the flood gates on the Dam this week. There's a good chance we'll have some new places to play, or at least the rocks should be shuffled around a bit! :)

We are going to let Jayson's wife practice a bit on the waterfall. Then when a bunch of heep get lines up and hammering it Memorial day weekend, we'll let HER drive around them and crawl up the right side!! That should chap a few heeps! :D :D :D

I need to get Jayson that bumper sticker I saw in Moab:
"Don't follow me - you won't make it!"

Everytime I do a suspension mods to my truck, I always have to make a dozen trips under it to visualize how everything will fit. This time I got smart and snapped a few pics of the undercarage while it was handy..... :)

Now if I just had someone with a tracer to convert it to an AutoCAD drawing.. ;)

I'll have to remember that trick for next time. :flipoff2:

I'm hoping that my eyes are deceiving me but it looks like you are sprung under in the front? I assume its the angle and the "slider" style spring plates?

I can't wait for this photo duel!

Yes, I've got about 6" of lift with spring UNDER... Not real pretty, but it did work surprisingly well!

Those are the POS Calmini spring plates. I've had to weld the shock studs back on, and reinforce them a half dozen times! Lesson learned, don't waist you time with those flimsy things.... The spring and spring plates are the LAST Calmini items left on the truck. Soon to be eliminated!
