    I'm planning on camping at portal during the week, them I'm gonna try to get a spot at the red rock over the weekend so i can get a shower

    Jo- If i can get a local VX'er to come by my parents house ill fab em up myself, then all we have to do is weld em on at the stoop... or if worse comes to worst, ill fab em here, then you can find a shop in moab to pay just to weld them to the frame. If there are any takers on bringing a VX by my parents house to help another VX'er out, let me know. Their house is between Monument and Castle Rock.

    I might be able to help out but not sure when i'll have time. Maybe milehighvx can help since he lives in Castle Rock?

    I still need to fab mine up and can probably make an extra set for Jo if needed.

    I've got my Strick9 sliders off the VX for the winter...man they just fill up with ice and stuff to easy.

    I can meet you at the Castle Rock Walmart and you can take them with you.

    We can take some photos/measurements of the mounting points as well.

    Let me know.

    that'd be a hell of a drive for you to come all the way down here just for that. I'll see if i can get any local volunteers then talk to you jon.

    i know, its just nice to have a 'home base' for a day or two when i most likely will have my girlfriend and probably my sister too.

    maybe i could take some measurements off of yours sometime, very carefully, build em, then hold em up to your VX just to make sure they fit before i trek em out to moab. What do you think about that???
    I could swing down on a weekend and get all my measurements in one day, build em the next weekend, then check them on your VX on the sunday after i build them maybe??

    There's always an open seat/open invitation in somebody's VX, so you can fly out and join up that way!

    If you do choose to drive, there's usually a Colorado convoy you could meet up with...at least that last leg wouldn't be so lonely!

    Hey Paul (phines) are you going to make it this year since you moved back to VA? If he is, you could meet up with him for a mini-convoy....

    sounds great, im still trying to figure out when im gonna be able to get there. i'm starting to think it might be a more normal length trip for me, finances just arent looking to be great.

    especially when im trying to get some more body armor put on before moab this year
