Post your 2008 ZuZoo pics/adventures here!

[ZEUS]

My camera sucks so I will have to clean up the pics before I post them. Bart and company took over 500 pics on Tuesday and another 500+ pics on Wednesday! There are some long videos taken from atop his roof rack that are entertaining. He has a lot of editing and clean up to do. I didn't take near as many pics as usual but will post when I can. It sucks to be back at work... the day just ticks by.

For the record... when Todd says to respect Gooneybird and don't drive over his feet or else pay the consequences... listen to him. Dumke and I both suffered some mechanical issues after disrespecting the rock bird.

Pics are coming!

Just got online at the hotel for the last night here in Moab. Linda and I took somewhere around 2500 photos since we left on Saturday morning. No foolin with that number. Here are just a few...there will be MORE.

Dub on Tuesday:


My VX sitting up near the tubs on Hell's Revenge....sun setting...waiting.


Zeus in the tub...getting ready for some...


BREAKAGE!


CrnCnn with his arse in the air.


Hopeful calander shot for 2009????


H20 is fun (except for when you are trying to get outta the tub)

Nice pix, Bart!
Did you ever get the dash/on board cam together? Not that 2,500 pix is insufficient

Cool pics...keep'em coming!

Zeus, what do you think caused your tie rod to break? The tub didn't look like it would have put to much pressure on it.

Zeus, what do you think caused your tie rod to break? The tub didn't look like it would have put to much pressure on it.

I was actually going to start a thread about that - in short, it seems to be a bad idea to disconnect the sway bar on just one side. It needs to be disconnected on both sides and secured in a high position that clears the tires at full steer. The disonnected side of the sway bar seems to have made contact with the tie rod a few times during the attempted climbs (5 attempts before getting out cuz the tires were freshly wet - and remember I am running completely open diffs). I was kind of bouncing a bit mid-climb; so it seems like it bent the rod, weakened it, and it finally broke when I steered hard left after getting out. Luckily, it bent AFTER I got out of the tub!!! There is VIDEO! Clint (CrnCnn) gave me a ride out and to M4O so I could get the tie rod sleeved back together. Bart and Scott Harness were kind enough to truck me back in to the tubs so I could put my VX back together. Linda (Bart's wife), Carrie (sp? - Mrs. CrnCnn), and Megan (Mrs. Ascinder) volunteered to watch my dog during the second trip. And LDUB of course had an extra tie rod for me to use - I only used one castle nut. Thanks guys and gals! I still owe you a couple beers, and Beau $20... Bring on the Elko trip!!!!

That explains it...and makes more scence!

Thanks to Linda and Beau for taking so many photos. It was an excellent time and it was great to hang out with everyone from last year and and meet new people this year.

More info about DVDs sometime soon.

Still looking at the photos, and I decided to upload this one in full resolution. I won't keep it up there forever, so download it now.

The light on Tuesday was just astoundingly beautiful. This shot really shows the VX run and Moab in such a perfect way.

It is now and probably will be my background for several weeks.

That lizard looks like he has glowey green spots and that snake is cool.
and that field repairus pic is cool. I don't know why but I really like it.
Very cool pics y'all. I can't wait till I can make Moab

I should not have logged on tonight - that simple log-on took about an hour out of my production tonight. Great pics Bart! Love the commentary. I, of course, am at work - started 15 hours ago. This site is my only link to happiness. BTW, there was a shooting by my house tonight! No, it wasn't me...

Wow dude, that sucks. If it makes you feel any better, Linda was working until like 7:30 tonight...ahem, I can't say the same for myself, however.

We definitely need to do the Elko camping trip meet. Glad we got to hang out a lot more this time around.

I like the low angel pix Zeus. It gives an aggressive look. I’m waiting for the pix from the 2nd camera I had with me on Tuesday, I’ll post them as soon as I get them.

For the record... when Todd says to respect Gooneybird and don't drive over his feet or else pay the consequences... listen to him. Dumke and I both suffered some mechanical issues after disrespecting the rock bird.

Pics are coming!

Ya I lost a bolt on Posion Spider on my upper control arm on passenger side. I am wondering if Tom had any bad luck or even Jo who went over feet with both tires.


Fun to see everyopne will be posting up pictures soon.
