Too funny... this group is the BEST! I can't wait to see everyone at Moab again. For those of you thinking about maybe going... DON't MISS IT! See you in May...
Ya, last year I plugged in waypoints into my GPS from my Moab trail book. It worked like a charm. Well almost, I did miss a turn, but it was still a fun detour (though I did get a guy's diff bent open)
If anyone wants - I can post waypoints for a trail so they can plug em in before May.
ALSO, I thought fins 'n' things was a fun trail for the stock VX's.. eh CeCe? Some nice pucker factors...

F&T's is a fun trail...Hells Revenge minus the steroids!
First timer has a few questions:
One of my friends owns an amigo (which is also my current 2nd vehicle) and he wants to go. Can he drive his amigo, can there be more than just VXs?
Also, this would be my first time for any kind of real off roading (more than my usual farm field off roading). I have a stock VX. Could I participate and expect my baby to be in just as good condition when its over?
I've read many posts here and it looks like a hell of a lot of fun, i just wanna make sure my baby will be in good shape if I take it out into the abyss lol I'm not really sure what to expect but I think Athlete has a great idea to get a CB, consider that part done. Good lookin!
Is the trail long enough where we would camp out along the way? Any other advice

Are the CB and handheld radios compatible? in other words, I have some handhelds can we talk to those who have CB's?
My VX is basically stock, no lift, no skid plates, etc, but I am running A/Ts, which might have helped a little. I did Elephant Hill last year. VXIronWoman was 100% bone stock, iirc, and she did it too. You can expect to scrape here and there underneath, even if you are carefull. But its a blast and 100% worth it.

That said, I am thinking of a little lift up before I go this year...

Clint,
Looks like a handheld CB can be had for under $40 on eBay:

As always, check feedback and whatnot. I would go that route if you want to pick one up.

Most are welcome, however, as Todd said earlier - if the crew gets too large (>18 vehicles?) beyond what can go out as a "spontaneous" trail ride; we may have to make preference to VX's.
I'm sure Todd will pick a VX run that a stock VX can make it through (i.e. alternate routes around obstacles). However, I would suggest investing in some skid plates over the fluid pans - just in case...
Trail rides that this crew has gone on are typically over by mid to late afternoon. Enough time to S-S-S and go for drinks and food.
I'm also figuring that there will be those going on other rides thoughout the week with stock VX's with the easier trails in mind...
