yeah.. no need to waste money on a hotel when its going to be 75 - 90 degrees at night.

[chrisbarnett01]

in a campground or in the wilderness? I like the KOA personally. Showers FTW

[Conrad]

When did Hung get an FJ?

[Conrad]

When did Hung get an FJ?

when he decided that his drug habit of centrum silver just wasnt worth it anymore and used that money to get it.

[hatchbackgirl]

When did Hung get an FJ?

my thoughts exactly. when are you going to give me a ride?!

[Brandon]

I'll be there in the little penis machine! Camping is good for me.

[Moe]

Woot Woot, me and the wife in for sure.

[Brandon]

I was thinking about the camp gound thing. I'm sure those types of places have a "quiet time"
I'm not sure about Moab since I've never been there but we should think about camping out away from people and then if you girls need a shower then you could drive over and pay (like at lake mcconaghey)

[Dave_L]

Last time I went to Moab, we went to Canyonlands Nat'l park first. We camped there for like 3 days. The closest ranger station was 50 miles away and it took some wheelin' to get to our spot. However, it was super cool. We were able to swim and jump off 20 ft cliffs into the river. Then we camped 1 night once we got into moab. At that point, we wanted a shower so we got a hotel room for the last 2 nights.

you can get anything up or down anything with enough momentum!


I say do it!

[Brandon]

I'd be happy to drag the civic up anything.

Are the jeeps gonna have to pull you out....again? :D

[Brandon]

Are the jeeps gonna have to pull you out....again? :D

I see your name on the list, you sure your jHeep is gonna be running in the next 6 months?

[Conrad]

:rofl:

[chrisbarnett01]

Put me on the list, I am going to go for sure.

[Conrad]

driving?

[Dave_L]

:rofl:

Don't encourage him.

[chrisbarnett01]

driving?


Yes. Either in the CJ on 35's or the TJ on 37's

I'd Avoid The KOA in Moab

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FYI,

The KOA Campground kicked us out last year 1/2 of the way through EJS week because they caught us checking our oil, & "working on vehicals" is not allowed.

[Conrad]

well we can do a one nighter there for a shower if needed... but yeah Im guessing some minor wrenching will be taking place.

[doogie06]

A Jeep only needing "minor wrenching"....doubtful.

[Brandon]

A Jeep only needing "minor wrenching"....doubtful.

He's almost stock.....

[Conrad]

doogie... i thought we were friends devil!

[Conrad]

He's almost stock.....

shitty how the stock jeep got through that road this weekend and some others didnt... lol

[chrisbarnett01]

Archview campground on the North side has never had a problem with us working on it, but then again neither has KOA.


I've had jeeps dismantled at both, and KOA has nicer bathrooms and is closer to town and the gas station with free air.

[Moe]

Bump this shit up.

[Conrad]

you bump it but you still needs work..... get'er done

[forum]

I may be in, but we'll have to see after it gets a little closer to that time. And I don't know how well an almost stock toy will do

[Moe]

you bump it but you still needs work..... get'er done

Dude conrad I almost scored a Kennebell for the jeep it was pretty effn cheap too...guy sold it tho..sucks. I was a little late...

I guess lift kit and wheels will do it for now, probably do headers, exhaust, intake and a chip.

[Brandon]

monthly bump

[Dave_L]

I'm getting closer to being ready. I have my 33's now, comp cutting tonight and ordering the lift this week.

[Brandon]

nice.

I just want to bob the bed and maybe an exo before the trip. A dual case would be nice but I don't see that happening without a job.

[royalworks]

So I think I would like to go. if anybody has any room left in their truck that would be sweet. I am an auto body tech so if you get any dents along the way thats cool but if it breaks down thats on you.

[chrisbarnett01]

easter jeep safari is next week, and none of the 3 jeeps work right now. The CJ on 35's barely runs, the TJ on 37's still has no driveshafts, and the YJ on 42's has a missing valvebody.


boo

I still want to go with you guys on this trip, but it strongly depends on my time off allowance and my $$ fund.

[Conrad]

Chris you better not back out now!!!


Yeah I would have liked to go to easter jeep but its far to pricey and im not ready either.

[Loud_Scott]

I'll throw my hat in the ring, but I'm just a lil' guy; all stock n whatnot, so i'll hafta either sit out the big stuff, or use the byepasses.

Oh... and +1 for NO campground. WTF you bitches think you're picking up in the middle of the DESERT... I don't care if you stink, you're in your own truck...

[Dave_L]

This is gonna be some good fun.

roger that you are added!!

[Conrad]

Ok I am thinking that we spend 2 days driving.... and 3-4 days there?

discuss

[Brandon]

sure.

[chrisbarnett01]

2 days driving? it takes 5 hours. I could drive there, back home to get my pillow, and then back again to moab all in one day, and still have enough energy to hit a trail.

[Conrad]

you havent been to a trail with Brandon... his truck has a top speed of about 23 mph.. lol

[Conrad]

so do we stay for the 4th of july?

[JL LGT]

I hate you.




















It's a jealousy thing... you wouldn't understand.

[Conrad]

I hate you.

It's a jealousy thing... you wouldn't understand.

you have no one to HATE but YOURSELF!!!! buy a rig already!

[Brandon]

LOL I just assumed you meant 1st day, driving and setting up camp. 2nd and 3rd day wheeling and 4th day breaking down camp and going home.

[Conrad]

LOL I just assumed you meant 1st day, driving and setting up camp. 2nd and 3rd day wheeling and 4th day breaking down camp and going home.

im thinking 3 days of wheeling at least... there are 16 official MOAB trails...

[Loud_Scott]

^^^ what he said...

[STIBungy]

How many trails are doable by stock vehicles?

[Conrad]

How many trails are doable by stock vehicles?

depends on the vehicle... but most places have bypasses

You guys better do Lions Back.

16?

also Easter jeep safari isn't expensive, just don't register with the Red Rock club(maybe 20% of attendees actually do), and do your own thing like the other 5,000 people there.

they closed it...

[Mark_H]

they closed it...

Damn!! That sucks! Last time I was there that was the best part, just watching rigs go up and down that damn thing.

[Brandon]

I doubt I'd go up i anyway

[chrisbarnett01]

When did they close it? last I checked it was private property and was for sale by a remax agent. dump bump is the same property.

[Dave_L]

I did Lion's back the first time I went to Moab. It was pretty cool but other trails were a little more fun, IMO.

Mark, I dont have any of the pics. We just had disposable cameras and I dont know where the pics are now.

Hmm, dump bump and hells revenge were part of the same part of land, I wonder if they are still open or not.

If not that sucks, dump bump is my favorite place to hang out in moab during EJS

[Dave_L]

Bumpity! Ordering my lift kit today.

[chrisbarnett01]

i hereby am notifying you guys I'm probably not going.

I dunno if I can afford to go

[forum]

I don't think a cherokee with a 2" lift will work, so i'm definately out

[Dave_L]

Brian, I'm only going with a 2.5" kit. I think Scott is bringing his stock 4 runner. You won't be able to do everything but it'll still be fun.

Chris, no excuses!

[Loud_Scott]

yea.. stock 4runner bringing it down unless i somehow find 5k layin around. so we can hang out and do the 'lil guy stuff...

[Conrad]

werd.... brian and you can go do little stuff.. there are plenty of trails we can all have fun at

[nxbrennan]

Me and some buddies were planning for May...but I just linked them here, we'll see if we can push the date and join you guys.
