[pbkid]

[tomdietrying]

Kenny wrote up a nice list, and I found it. We've been using it for the last two years. The problem is it will not allow me to CUT and PASTE the list.

If you look at the Moab ZuZoo XI 2008 thread, Kenny wrote it on 4/21/2008.
If that's too much trouble, hopefully Kenny will see this and repost the thread.

Peace.
Tom

p.s.
This list is so precise Kenny reminds you to get a Mother's Day Card because you will be on the road and miss the special day.

Here's the KLIQ (Kenny list in question), I stole it from the original post & uploaded it into my gallery...hope you don't mind Kenny...

That's a pretty good list, pretty close to what I had already, and I am definitely skipping the air compressor. Too expensive, I got my 10lb CO2 setup for about 200 shipped,and I can inflate about 40-50 tires with one bottle. I just need to figure out where to mount it. I am thinkin floorboard behind driver's seat. That way the hose can reach out both doors to access all tires without taking the whole bottle out.
I am waiting on sway bar bushings, but other than that, I think I am good to go. Skid plates would be nice, but I am waiting to see how RiffRaff's deal pans out. No junk Troopers in the yards around here...booooooo.
Well, its warming up here, about 60 or so, I think I will rhino line some of my panels today. Should keep me busy for a few hours.

Trail Etiquette
ALWAYS One of the most common and most commonly broken rules on any trail ride is to always keep the vehicle that is behind you in your rear view mirror. In this way, the group will always be together -- if the person behind you slows down, you should slow down, and this will cause a chain reaction to the whole group. This is especially important at trail intersections. If you lose sight of the vehicle in front of you, let the driver know to slow down -- another great reason to have a CB. This in turn will work its way up to the trail leader and no one will get lost. Do not follow too closely either, especially while going downhill. When you make it up over an obstacle, you need to wait for the next vehicle in line to make it, so if a strap is needed you can assist. If those below you can't see over the top of an obstacle, let them know when it's clear at the top.
