Moab 2006...you wish you were here!

[Andrey]

Thanks Biju,

I have Proxes and I thought that they will be only good for street, but now I see that they can perform when needed

Went on Cliff Hanger today. Cool trail with some tough obstacles, cool people and some great veiws.
So on with the pics we go...
The entrance to the trail got your attention real fast


The 2nd obstacle had some nice big rocks just waiting to take a chunk out of your cladding or underside with one wrong move

On the trail

Trail leader Fernando showing us which line not to take...1 winch and a strap pulled by several bodies prevented a nasty roll over when the dirt gave way under his tire

The new and impoved line


Another little ledge to descend

Our destination and lunch spot

Then it was time to head down




Putting on a little show for the Jeepers hanging out to watch the Zu's...showing them the hard line up the exit

The "little Trooper that could"! Jim took this little 44 horse power turbo diesel that was bone stock on pretty much every trail I did (not always doing the hard or optional lines) and impressed every one!

I just made it back home (Dallas) from Moab. This was the BEST Moab trip yet!

I had a great time meeting up with old friends and a great time meeting new ones.

I'm in for next year. If you haven't done Moab yet, start planning now and I'll see you there in May of 2007. I promise it will be FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Peace.

OK, y'all are certifiable. Great pics. I want a damage report. Who got scraped, dented, who bruised their cladding, etc. More importantly I want to know where you'll go for new body panels. I am suddenly in need of lots of them.

Those are great! Billy thanks for sharing.
I sure missed going... I'll be there next year.
When I did the first half of Hell's Gate, two years ago, with my Yok AVS's I almost crapped my pants as they did well but not enough for me to do the exit.. Next year I'll have some other bad boys on there..

It's just sucks that I wasn't able to go However, I did bust 3 pervs over the week so I'm still pretty happy!

Well I have been avoiding this thread like the plague, because I knew how much it would make me wish I was there. Finally I had to take a look, the # of posts made it too tempting. All I can say is Wow! I am definately going to make next years (this years clashed with sons high school graduation). Hope everyone gets home safely and excellent job to all.

I just got home. Found a new route that was much more scenic and saved me an hour and a half as well. We had the second most amount of VXs there this year. Through out the week there were 18 VXs at one time or another. Plus several previous owners and some that left there VX's at home. No one sustained any real damage. Laying mine on the side on the wall of Hells Gate put a few scrapes on the cladding but not to bad (nothing Line-X wounn't fix). It was a great time. I was glad to see some faces from last year and met some new ones this year. I'll have some pics from Steel Bender up later!

Here are some pics from Saturdays trip through Steel Bender
The first little bump in the road...as usual taking the tough line




Zues showed up to run with us the last day
