Moab ZuZoo XI 2008

[nfpgasmask]

I expect EVERYONE to be posting all their pics/video everyday at the nd of the day for us who will be sitting on the couch. I know there will be several laptops there and Portal has free highspeed internet!

Well, I just finished a rigging on top of my roof rack for my camera. I was going to use a little helmet cam, but I made a decent mount up top to support my whole camera. So I will take some surplus gas mask water proofing bags (somehow I have like a dozen of these) and wrap it in one of those to keep the dust off, and then I will add a few pieces of velcro and a few zip ties for extra security and I will coming home with hours of Moab video.

Plus I am still planning to do the little book afterwords as well. It really sucks that you're not able to come Billy, I was looking forward to meeting you, and chances are, I will not be going to Moab next year. Two VX anniversaries is enough for the Mrs.

hey guys, sorry if this has already been covered, if so just refer me to post number lol....

but is this like 2 years ago last time i went? do we need to go on another web site to register for zuzu???
or is it just like show up and we will see what happens type of thing???

[Triathlete]

There is no official event...just a bunch of friends who happen to be in Moab at the same time.
No site, no registration...just fun!

Well..It's coming down to the wire...

Got the brake system flushed & filled with synthetic brake fluid, changed oil & filter, fuel filter, pcv valve, greased everything on the bottom side, converted the roof lights to HID, and wired in a blue "neon rope light" around the overhead console...

Won't be getting the rear locker in, as I'm a little gunshy about trying to remove the(e-z break) rear sensors this close to departure time.

Still might (if I have the time), pack front wheel bearings, clean IAC & EGR.

The closer it gets, the more I feel like I'm forgetting something...as usual.

Thanks Todd. I will be there next year even if I have to pedal my bike the whole way there! Hmmm, lets see, that would only be about 65 hours on the bike. So I would have to leave here by...

Man dude, you really got yer bases covered. I just changed the oil/oil filter/cleaned my K&N/new PCV last night. I am going to try to swap my fuel pressure regulator with a new one tonight. I probably should have done my diffs but I think we will do that as soon as we get back. Now all I have to do is giver her a wash and buy a whole bunch of food for the trip!
