MOAB 'ZuZoo VXI - May 2014: 5/12/14 - 5/16/14

[RickOKC]

At least there is SOME good news in this thread...

Ya' know that ther'll be MULTIPLE choices for shotgun...choose wisely..... .. ...

Ha ha! I'm not worried.

No matter what I know I'll have a great time. I could do NO off-roading at all and just hang out at The Stoop and have a blast.

I could be a passenger with some people and spend a few days repeating, "OH CRAP, OH CRAP, I'M GOING TO DIE!!!" and have a great time.

Other rides would leave me sitting in the back seat thinking, "When is flight attendant coming back around with more crackers/caviar/wine" and have a great time.

I've saids it before and I'll says it again - the FUN is the hanging out with the people in the group more than the actual activity!

(Let's all hug now, ok?)

Hey Gang, please help me out with my final-planning decision... I cannot take a full week off for this 'Zoo. I will be bringing the soon-to-be-inherited CJ-7 I've been wheeling for 14 years & I'm still trying to talk my dad into coming along. SOO what days are my peeps (you know who you are) going to be around? I'm leaning toward taking off a half day for a Moab afternoon arrival on Wednesday, the 14th, & then coming home Saturday, the 17th. I could also show up Saturday, the 10th, & leave for home on that Wednesday... thoughts?

May 10th... through morning (ish!) of May 18th for me.

So avoiding you will be impossible

I have kind of the same question as Zues...

I can only be there for about 3 days. Which 3 days will the most folks be there?

[ZEUS]

Ty - typically the VX Run has occurred on Tuesday so you may take that into consideration. Makes me wonder if a VX Run trail has been planned, officiated, & scheduled yet - anybody?

We sort of axed the officially planned VX run last year due to the group being so large and slow. If I remember correctly, we split into a couple smaller groups and it went really well.

I'll be in Moab Sunday through Friday, it would be great to wheel with you and your dad again Justin.

Heck ya! Sucks to hear about the VX Run... there should at least be a scheduled "get all the VX's in one spot for a" pic (says the guy with no VX).

Aww man, I guess that means Greg is out too. I'm just gonna have to cancel my trip then... again. And here the whole time, I thought the 3 of us were sharing that room!

I'm getting kind of excited. Just a few weeks to Moab and the crew. I hope the VXers will not shun a non-VX, non-Isuzu entrant. I changed from six lug nuts per wheel to five for this year.

[ZEUS]

Craig, I will be sporting 5 lugs also!

You "5 nutterz" are like some sort of plague....but tha disease of happiness that you bring to tha campfyre, make it MORE than worth the revulsion we (tha 6 nutterz) feel when your vehicles are within beer can throwing distance of "real truckz"...

What, got rid of the FJ already?

[Craig]

I couldn't see out of it. Didn't know where the trail was. It's hard to show off your prowess when you're really not sure where you are exactly. I joined a 4wd club here in Boise that's mostly jeep oriented. After struggling on a few trails with that group, it became obvious to me that a stock Rubicon was far superior to my modified FJ. Ain't no fool. Done what I had to.

[ND92]

Looks like I wont be making the trip this year
The family and I are heading to Italy for the month. I wish I was able to see everyone and Ill be missing you all.

so if anyone is looking for a room at the RR Resort, let me know and we can transfer my reservation.

Yeah that's the biggest problem with the FJ IMO...but I don't fit in a Wrangler very well, especially not with a stick. I could probably drive an auto.
