Post All Moab Trip Pics/adventures Here

[Zu4two]

It kind of sucked that I had to leave before the sun came out. Sorry to hear that several people left with major damage (especially Mike with his pristine '99). I had a great time, meeting a lot of new & wonderful people and seeing some familiar faces (was going to say "old friends", but didn't want to give Lisa a complex)

I've got a few dozen pics that I've yet to get off the camera. But I'll do it soon.

The VehiCROSS is an amazing vehicle and there's no reason to baby it on the trail. I'm not saying everyone should be as crazy as TriAthlete, but I don't think you should leave it sitting in the parking lot either.

I have a ton of photos, though things are still crazy in my world: at the moment I'm in Colorado Springs, still wandering around the west end of the country like some transient drifter on my fabulous trip to nowhere...I'm about 1200 miles from my home in WA. I'll probably not post photos of the fun stuff (Moab) until I get home. No idea when that will be, but it'll be one of these days, lol.

Member zoup2nuts works at the BMW dealership in Colorado Springs...you should stop by and give him a shout and you're only 35 minutes south from me in Castle Rock.

Oh cool! We should get a beer or something at some point or another before I leave the state. I don't expect to be back anytime soon...this summer is kind of like my last hurrah before the tough part of school starts for me, so I may disappear at times for the next two years or so, lol.

Forgot to mention how the "JAMAS" cargo boxes worked out on the trip....EXCELLENT! So nice to have so much storage space and all my "stuff" so handy and accessible. The compressor, extension cord, gun case, air gauge, 5 qts oil, rags, knife, extra water/soda & food and a bunch of other stuff....all so handy and contained. Highly recommend these boxes!

Even on the roughest up/down bump type obstacle, the boxes barely moved out of place. After several slams up and down, they moved about 6" forward. Going to put some velcro on the bottom for next time, then they won't move at all.

Let me know if you wander in to Salt Lake City, me Justin and Mike can show you what's what.

Here is the broken front differential outside, I imagine it is going to look a lot worse inside!

[MSHardeman]

Wow Mike, you did a good job. That diff is made out of some pretty stout stuff so to put a crack in it like that took some doing.

On the "bright" side, at least it's the front diff ($) and not the transfer case ($$$). Good luck getting your girl back together and let us know if we can help in any way.

That's still a major bummer Mike, but I'm glad to hear it was less money in repair bills than was previously thought...better the front diff than the transfer case! I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible from here on out!

SLC is my next stop! I'll probably leave CO Springs very early Saturday morning, since independence pass is supposed to reopen Friday, and I wanted to see it this time, instead of going through Denver again...so I guess I kind of have a plan, lol. ...I'll be in touch.

Made it home safe an hour ago. I ran the engine hard all way home, I was doing 75 almost all way with the little 4 banger. If you guys didnt know allready I broke my front differential. I havent pulled the third member yet but it is not gonna be pretty. I do have a spare so im ok with that. I hope everyone else has made it home safe or is in route. RACHEL AND I HAD A GREAT TIME AGAIN THIS YEAR AND IT WAS NICE SEEING THE FAMILIAR FACES AND MEETING THE NEW ONES. I will post pics later tonight or in the morning. Ohh and for those wondering how I did in vegas? Well lets just say im 500 bucks richer! good night on the tables.

[VX crazy]

Ummm Kirk......I obviously already HAVE a complex! LOL seriously awesome to see you again after so long!

Great seeing everyone as well for me, if Scott, Laura, and Robert would have been there it would have been the perfect year! Sorry if I offended anyone, y'all that know me I am sure I didnt offend, but I tend to let loose when away from my stressful work/family life!
