I'm still planning on going to Moab. I guess it might end up being just Steve, Lance, and myself if everyone else can't make it. Is Jim planning on going? I don't know who else was planning or thinking about going. If not, more beer for us.
Jim from New Mexico will be there as well as Jim Deer from Texas. Deer is bringing a few other people as well. I have 3 trucks I can take, only 1 is dead right now and they may even be fixed by then. If not the red truck and the 4Runner are ready to go.

Moab will be fine,

Don't make me close down all of the trails for you again. People will get angry, but I'll do it!!

I'd like to do some more night runs for sure. Just have to figure out a way for that to work.



Nope... nothing to exciting. It's a tech support position with GoDaddy. That's assuming I can get through training this week. It's pretty compressed, a lot to take in. Good thing is if I don't make it, my weekends will be free. Bad thing is I will be living in my truck.



The position has some relatively good benefits for vacation and sick days... so I should be able to do some of that in the future.

I'll have a 2wd 4runner with a locker by midnight tonight! Then I just need to start braking it in.
Then I need to wire up the compressor tomorrow.
The front won't be looked at for a couple of weeks so I just hope that I can somehow get it all to work before crown king! I think I could make it up CK in 2wd with a locker though.

Confirm that 28 May (Wed) and 1 June (Sun) are the travel days? Just trying to confirm so I can make my reservations.

Thanks.

I just saw this. I already made my reservations online figuring I could change them if I was wrong on the dates. Sorry.

What does the group look like for Moab? Seems like all Big Trucks. I'm interested but wouldn't want to hold up the group or alter trail choices. Those that have been/are going please advise. Thanks.

Better yet, acceptable vehicle damage levels? I’m looking to head out to Moab given my LED’s are installed by then.

I'd like to have the F-Toy built by then...but it looks like I will be in the 4Runner.

Steve and I have talked about this and he will probably bring a full bodied rig as well, so we will probably stick with the moderate trails (3's and 4's on Moab's scale).

Thanks for the input Jim. You've seen the trails, my junk, and my driving. Would this be reasonable for me? Would I hold up the group?

No it's looking like all normal trucks with bodies. This year will be more mellow than in the past.

You should go Mike, it's a really good time. Great trails and good fun. I'll probably have to leave a few hours infront of you guys to make it there about the same time. You've got two months and all the parts so I say lets start cutting and get that axle under there.

Sorry to hear that Jim. Is he just getting bogged down with other work?

What ever I feel like at the time. I have the new engine for the buggy here already, I just have to put it in. Even if I bring that thing, It can do easy stuff too.

More than likely I will bring the 4Runner.
