Nuts. I won't be able to take leave that week. I suppose any later in the year and it's too bloody hot, right?

A few of us went at the end of June last year and it was 115º - 120º :flame: .

Yeah but it was freakin great, had everything to ourselves and the heat wasn't that bad cooled off nicely at night :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
What's the trail list look like? I don't know enough about everyone's rigs, but it looks like we're a mix of moderate to hardcore built rigs?

I don't know...but I'm in the process of ordering spare shafts :gag: and whatever else I can think off...LOL
 
Moab Rim?
Cliffhanger?
Prichett?
Hells Revenge?
PS GS GBR?
Night run Fins.

Open to all and any suggestions.

Jeff/Led you guys are the trail planners, I am easy :wave: . Looks like a well built group of rigs.
 
Pritchett is a definate and maybe run Behind The Rocks backwards since the exit is near the exit to Pritchett.I'm ok with PS GS GBR too, Hell's Revenge is always fun and theres also Metal Masher.We've got to do a night run somewhere (Fins N Things??) and probably go play at Area BFE.I know Led wants to run Coyote Canyon.I'm up for suggestions or we can plat it by ear. Doesn't make a difference to me - I'll be happy just being there.
 
Man, money is sort of tight for me. I don't have any work that needs to be done on the Jeep. I am off though from the 3rd to the 7th. I will keep an eye on this. I would come down on the 3rd. I'll let you guys know.
 
I like what Jeff has suggested. I'm in for BFE, PS/GS/GBR, Pritchett (but I'm taking a side strap on Rocker Knocker this time!!!!!!) and Behind the Rocks - never done that one and it's gotta be better than the long ass drive out. Metal Masher might be fun again, haven't done that one in years.

Is this intended to be a guys-only trip or are girlfriends/wives/kids coming too? Shari may or may not come along.... especially since we're rough camping.... but she gets an evil grin knowing she can pick on Led..... :D

X2! I am just excited to get out there!

From my understanding, I am pretty sure it is mainly the guys headed out for this trip.

Thats the impression I have.Shari is more than welcome to join us (we need someone to cook for us :gag: - JK :D) and there will probably be a couple of other womenfolk on the trip as well.

hmmmm... i'm looking to take the bike out there next week for some 2-wheeled fun, and was lamenting the fact that nobody else in the group has a 4x4. i'm itchin' for some 4-lo action (can't wait for OCG in a couple weeks). :thumbup:

if i can convince my wife to let me head out west again so soon thereafter, i'd really like to try to join you guys at least for a couple/three days. just changed the t-case fluid, fixed a slow leak at the ARB compressor fittings, and lubed up the suspension last night. just gotta track down a vacuum leak that is triggering the check engine light and i'll be good to go. oh yeah, and find an annoying electrical problem which overrides my left rear turn signal when the brakes are applied.

note to self: don't forget to pick up the chimay before crossing the utah border. ;)
