VT_MAVERICK COMING DOWN IT -CAN'T RECALL IF HE SCRAPPED OR NOT

I didn't scrape any of my cladding on either of the two trails I did. But I'm running 1.5" coil spacers and a slight TB crank, plus tires that are 1" taller. I did scrape my front tow hooks (I have the down-facing Trooper ones with the rope clips) and my Kilby plates a few times but nothing serious. Can't recall whether I hit the gas tank plate but I don't think so. And I'm almost positive that I didn't hit the sliders or diff guard.

That said there was discussion after last year to the effect that some of the trails are deteriorating and are somewhat rougher than in previous years when many of them were deemed "just fine" for stock VX's. My recommendation to a stock VX'er looking for a little cheap insurance would be to pick up a set of Trooper plates at a local junkyard and spend $35 on a pair of 1.5" Daystar spacers. You (or your friend - thanks again Billy) can attach the plates, install the spacers, and crank the torsion bars in your driveway. Taller tires are good too, but those might be more $$$ than some are willing to spend on top of the journey.

I'm hoping this year it might be possible to follow Stefan down from Alberta.

Yes sir, if im going this year that is. Im going to book my room sometime this week just in case and if I cant make it then ill pass the room on to someone else.

HAHAHAHA yeah like I was told Kane Creek Canyon was doable. Almost slipping off the side of the cliff because the other routes were too washed out for a stock vx to get up. Bending my drivers A-arm and pushing the frame sliders into the body were just the easy things that needed fixing. But the middle part of the trail was nice and easy. This year I think it should be, if you have a doubt that a trail might be bad, take a lifted vx.

[VX KAT]

same with Top of The World! Totally doable in 2010, by 2012 it was just a rock and ledge mine field, would destroy the undercarriage of a non-lifted VX...I had the Kilby's and OMG did they take a beating! Thank gawd for the Kilby's!

[tysamigo]

Will there be anyone at Moab with a VX with turbo/super charger?

[BigSwede]

Yes.

[JoFotoz]

Maybe..

Depends what Dub brings ...

...cant recall another S/c one that comes.

[tysamigo]

Awesome! Ive ALWAYS wanted to ride in one...see how much difference it is....that really got me excited!

[pbkid]

ehh, depends on how dub is doing. His is the usual S/C rig around. I wont spoil any of his current being, but I will let him share if you will have a S/c VX to ride in.
oh, and his has 35's so it almost evens out to stock with the SC

[Jay Dunford]

Might be a white one there too!!

[nocturnalVX]

That's super Jay... So that's 4 different vehicles you've had at Moab?

[nocturnalVX]

Cece and I will not be able to do Moab this year... She has her new teaching gig in Vegas, and doesn't have much time off before June. That being said, we are going to St. Maarten in the Carribean for a wedding. Gotta admit that I am excited about going on that trip, but I know that missing Stoop time is gonna blow big time. I am REALLY sorry we are going to miss seeing our global VXers. Have fun, be safe, have fun, drink moonkies, have fun, PETOS... stop means STOP, have fun, and... post pictures!!!

[BigSwede]

Bummer, we'll miss you guys.
