Looking for some buddies...Moab,

[GiS]

Hey,

I am coming down to Moab, April 17th-May 3rd. I plan to wheel Moab for 9 or 10 days, lounge around a bit then head over to Cedar City and watch the WE Rock comp.

What I am wondering, is anyone going to be in the area and wanting to wheel? Willing to take an out of towner with you?

I will have 3 or 4 other trucks with me but they have their own schedules and I will be the only one hanging around Moab for another week solo....

So, if anyone is up for some of the harder rated trails, BFE etc etc between April 19th and May 1st, drop me a PM or post up,

Thanks!!

Joe


P.S. I will bring Canadian beer

We're heading to Moab on Friday (April 17th) also. There are about four or five rigs in our crew, but unfortunately we're not one toned with 40+ tires.

The biggest rig is probably mine with 37s. We're all locked and low geared though, so we'll be looking to run some 8-10 (or 4-5...think they changed it) trails hopefully. Don't know if we'll be hitting up BFE or the likes of Helldorado. Probably more like Metal Masher/Cliffhanger type runs. Not sure though. The group continually makes more mods to their rigs and gets ballsier...so we'll see .

If its not hardcore enough, we could atleast drink some beers at camp or something. We'll most likely be up at the Sand Flats campground out by Hell's Revenge. Good group of guys and gals. If you want to meet up and wheel/drink a couple beers/barbeque/whatever...my number is 970-903-0175.

Later,
Charlie

We will be heading down the night of the 24th. Will be in town for the weekend. Planning (at least I am) on running Green Day, and Lock Jaw (both in BFE) and Pritchett. Can't stay any longer cuz I have to get home and ready for the Cedar Event.

There will be at least 5 rigs with us, mine being the smallest on 33's, but I'm still considering running Helldorado.

PM your info, and I'll call when we get down there.

[CanadianZuk]

See you in Cedar City Joey

Charlie, got a pic of your rig so I can find you better? I will swing by for a beer!

Maveric, are you running your F-toy in the Cedar event? In any event...sounds like we'll be running in the same circles. I have no problem wheeling with guys on 33's, it just means I get to see more body damage hehehe.

Talk soon,

[maveric]

Ya, we'll be running the Ftoy in Cedar. I wanted to get the extra seat time in it before the event, but I'm afraid that I'd break it and not be able to make the comp. And since I have 3 other capable wheelers, I will just take one of them. The flatty is small enough and has enough tube laid around it that body damage is minimal. It's ran a few of the harder trails around Moab in the last couple years, and it's still mostly intact

Here you go. The pic with the four rigs are the ones that will be there for sure. Mine is the old rusty goldish/rustish CJ. My girls 02 TJ will probably we there also...pic below. Jack (the dog in the pic) will be a dead giveway if you see him. Can't mistake the German Shepherd/Welsh Corgie/African Basenji mix!

Yeah, I think we might wind up running Pritchett on Saturday or Sunday. Not sure though. I want to talk them into playing around on some stuff down at Area BFE. Playground type stuff maybe.

But, yeah if nothing else, lets catch up for some beers. Just give a shout if you don't see us...970-903-0175.

[maveric]

Here are the vehicles that will be down with us.

[boggerunner]

a group of 3 toyotas and 1 blazer is gonna head over on the 18th and hit up a few trails on sunday. and probably 1 more trail on monday. we are gonna steer clear of helldorado cause last yr we spent 2 days fixing out crap on that trail, it made my buddy switch to tons on his yota. we want to run pritchett and greenday.
ohh and pics of 2 of the yotas

[azcojpg]

Gonna be a bunch of us at the brewery every morning from the 25th until the 2nd. Some decent rigs looking for fun trails, Pritchett,
BFE ect..

[PBZ Eric]

I'll be there, I'll try callin ya charlie

[WSS]

I'll be there the 30th to the 3rd. I'm looking for someone to run Gold Bar rim and Poison Spider on the 1st and Pritchet on the 2nd. Does that fit in with anyone else? My buddy is going to bail on me it looks like ...

I'll be in a short crew cab, similair to the the one Off Road Design has. I'll get a pic tomorrow when I'm at the shop, should have it road worthy tomorrow night.

We will be there. 2 will be there tomorrow afternoon. I'll be there Friday. Leaving here at noon. I'll call you when we get down. Sounds like we may be meeting on the Cliffhanger trail around sundown for a bbq. I'll let you know.

Sorry to hear about the link mount. Glad you got it fixed and could keep wheelin. Bummer we didn't meet up. No worries though.

We ran Poison Spider, Golden Spike, Gold Bar Rim on Saturday. That was long but fun.

Then we ran Pritchett on Sunday. That was sweet! The rig did well, and I never had to pull line (not for my own rig anyway). I built a homemade torsion bar (Toyota IFS) about a week before the trip out and the difference was absolutely amazing. So much more stable on everything. Never had pucker factor on anything. Watched some guys in front of me on rocker knocker, saw the line, and went right up first try. At rocker knocker, the Yota in the group started having issues with a slipping clutch and his dad's YJ's front Ox locker got fussy. So there was a lot of winching guys out of the last mile of canyon. It was fun though, and I was stoked at how well my old Jeep performed.

Maveric its too bad we weren't there when you were...looks like we had the same plan.

I still need to get down to Farmington and wheel. If you guys are ever close, let me know. I don't think I could do it this weekend though.

Hope you guys have fun and best of luck with equipment out there.

Charlie

No problem. Glad you came along. It was fun. We haven't pulled the 3rd yet, so not sure what the actual problem was. I heard yours didn't look so good either.

We are packed and ready to head to Cedar. Leaving this afternoon. Too bad your not going to be there to see the ftoy on its side... or its top...

[GiS]

Or side, then top, then the other side, back to the wheels, over on the side ....


KICK ASS down there buddy!

[maveric]

Thanks.
I'll post up the flop pics. Even if I don't flop it in the comp, I'm taking the wife out after the comp. She needs the "on it's side" experience. What a better way to break in the "OH SHIT" handle
