DANG, this is the worst Moab withdrawls EVER...

This is the first time since returning to Fgo, that I've had any ambition to post, I still haven't unpacked, or even looked at any of the trip pics....haven't even washed all the bugs off Suzy...

I'll get around to posting up the pics here in the next few days, but don't nobody hold yer breath...

A big THANK YOU to all who HAVE taken the time to post pics, it doesn't make the withdrawls any easier, but they're fun to look at anyway.

[Moncha]

I hears ya Dub! I miss everyone! Coming back to reality sux!

Thank you to all for making my comeback a wonderful happening!

[Marlin]

Cece, great pics!!! I am in the process of uploading the first 250 of 750 pics to photobucket. I will post the unique ones up later and provide the link to the gallery. You got some awesome pics. I am gonna agree with Tom, Kane Creek was the best trail, river crossings, decent obstacles, crazy ledges, and of course the abandoned Jeep, still kickin myself for not taking his hood ornament and plate number and doing a "garden gnome" photo shoot with his ornament and then sending it back to him...would have been classic. "Wish you were here" on the CD with the pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While I was in Missouri, I took the VX off the trailer for some krawlin on my Father in laws farm. I went to cross a creek, sank in the mud, tore the front plastic off, bent the fenders and hood, had to get pulled out by a John Deere 4020...LOL. All the stupid stuff I did in Moab, and no major damage, 30 minutes in the mud...it took me almost an hour to fix the stuff. Still gotta straighten the fenders out when I get home More incentive too start my bumper. Next weekend, the bumper project starts.

Dub on (the) crack

A minor point of information, the "crack" on Poison Spider is "officially" known as "The Wedgie"...

Great pics, everyone!

[crotchrocket]

Sitting here in my Office in central London these pictures are the stuff dreams are made of! You lucky buggers!!!! I just want to get out of here now, jump in my VX and find a place to go and play!

The weather you guys have there is awesome but seeing the pictures of the VX going through a snowy mountainouse pass reminds me just how big your country is.

Congratulations guys on what looked like an amazing adventure!! !

[BigSwede]

Hey crotchrocket, if they ever build that idiotic bridge across the Bering Straight they are talking about, you could drive to Moab! :bwgr: Wonder how many miles that little trip would be...

[handeeman]

I am totally in awe. I have looked and looked at the pics and I don't get tired of looking. Maybe next year. Also great to put faces with names. Thanks everyone for taking the time to post the pics for the rest of the family. Makes me wanna start my mods now.lol

Well, I just killed a good hour here looking at all these incredible pics. Gawd, I can't believe I missed out this year. These pics are killin me!!!!

CeCe: You took some stellar shots, especially that awesome Menace portrait and that shot of Steve's RS haulin' arse is just wicked!!!

Kenny: Your Bryce Canyon shots are amazing. I have yet to get there and next time I go to Moab I will definitely detour through that area.

Gill: New rims, eh?

The rest of the photos are just amazing as well and like I said, it just kills me to have missed out this year....ARRRGGGG! Someone needs to do a "carnage" post with shots of all the damage.

Someone needs to do a "carnage" post with shots of all the damage.

Bart

As far as I know the "carnage" was minimal this year. Gizmo broke a shock on his Rodeo, Mike blew a clutch (probably a bad clutch to start with) on his Trooper and then Gil had issues with his exhaust (backed into a rock) which caused a CEL and rough idle and took a rock to his rocker panel that mis-aligned his door.

Mikes troop getting a new clutch

Gill: New rims, eh?

Yep! Like I told everyone that asked... I have ceded the blacked out VX look to YOU! The rims are not quite blingy, but they do stand out and make the VX and tires look tougher.

Okay, were gonna go wash the VX now... carnage pics to come...

Here we go, got several hundred uploaded so far...here are a few good ones:



Notice the strap is slack, so it doesn't count as a picture of someone getting strapped



I believe this is the line Billy mentioned getting strapped on ...
