2009 Moab ZooZu XII

[pbkid]

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.

yup, it was kenny....that was a killer list...

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.

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.

how are you planning on rhino lining?? just out of curiousity...
taking it to a shop? or doing it yourself??

I was just gonna do the DIY kit. Figured a few bottles of rubbing alcohol to make sure I get all the residual chemicals off the cladding and then roll on the liner. I have access to another VX in the area, I am trying to buy it, but I can get pieces if I screw something up that bad. It took me about 3 hours to get the damned bolts off the rear tow points so I could install the hitch. Had to buy new cutting wheels for my angle cutter...not a good project, so I didn't start the liner. Also took care of most of the rust that was under the rear bottom cladding, painted my CO2 bottle with black enamel, then decided to go play in the mud, 15 minutes of mudding=1hour of cleanup, most of that being my driveway.

[Scott Harness]

Playing in mud sounds and looks super fun,but the clean-up is not worth it to me(lazy and you need to really get it ALL off)

Ah, I was wondering what had happened to that! I have re added myself. Thanks for fixing it!

[MSHardeman]

Scott,

I see that you and Laura are heading to ZuZoo. That is excellent news. Can't wait to see you guys again.

Me too!!!.........

(Mark, sorry I changed your quote to fit my reality... )

[MSHardeman]

Dub,

No problem with changing reality. Actually I think it would be fun to vacation in Ldubland for a little while.

You haven't met Scott, Laura or Moncha yet?

It's going to be a great ZuZoo reunion indeed.

Nope, never had the pleasure of meeting the Boss Man & Mrs. Moncha in person, though I feel like I've known them for years...

Hangin' out in Larryland is considered rough duty by some...
