Moab meet, May 2011 *Official*

You can count me in +1! Plan on camping as well

 

I should be able to make it one weekend, doesn't matter which one as of now.

 

Okay, updates...

Since the second weekend seemed like a better fit for everyone, I decided to close the poll ahead of schedule to prevent confusion.

So... that means the meet will officially take place between the 13th and 15th of May!

I have updated the list of attendee's, let me know if you would like your name added/removed from the list.

Feel free to bring friends, family, etc. You are welcome invite anyone (all vehicles makes/models are perfectly welcome), however please let us know if you intend on arriving with more than one vehicle in your party, as this may impact the camping plans.

Great, I have added you to the list.

Awesome, I have added you to the list, as we have chosen the second weekend.



This looks like it should be an awesome meet, let's get more people on the roster!

 

If it's a simple trail I will take the supercharged Tacoma but I might bring my new trx450r quad it's fast and has almost as much suspension travel as the SAS Tacoma I don't want to destroy my daily driver either

 

Z is about 75% sure he's going to make it for Moab with his Jeep.

 

Great! Has he got around to doing any of the mods he was talking about?

 

I really like the way that sounds

I just might bring more vehicles now that i know the date finally but very excited

 

A few. He's working on it one piece at a time.

 

I was down in Moab last weekend with some friends...

We weren't there to go offroading, but we still made it out on Sunday for a short trip to the Top of the World.

I was borrowing a friends D-SLR, and now I can't help myself but to post the images I'm happiest with... enjoy! (almost all of the images are shot in manual mode, with minimal post processing)


Nothing wrong with a little class...



Out of focus... but thats what I was going for.. right?



This is what the 'top of the world' looks like?



That's better!









Not the best picture ever, but here's the gang: Taco, Crickett, Jan (myself), Ana, and Rachel (from left to right).



Crickett at the helm, on the way back to Moab.



Back at the house for the evening... Rupert (the white/grey one, Ana's dog), and Crickett.



The wilderness area that surrounds the house we were staying at... several locked gates away from civilization.



One reason I'd like a D-SLR...



Rupert, the puppy!



Supermoon meets supertruck!



A good night for a hike, no?



Can you tell it's 2am? You can see the truck and a white 4runner, as well as the house we were staying at.



My dog and I (the only ones crazy enough to go adventuring at 2am in an area with large drops, and without trails).



Las Sal mountains in the distance, under 2-3am moonlight.



Found this on the way down, after being lost for a while... slightly panic inducing

 

^^ awesome pics!

 

Thanks!


So, who else is coming to Moab this May? We are going to have lots 'n lots of fun!

 

already got it marked on the calendar! hoping to get my sliders and some skids done before then too...don't think my bumper will be done before then tho...

how do you think the camping will work out? you have a large area in mind for multiple camping set ups? i definitely want to find a place by a river and a view..

 

Yeah, I have a spot picked out that should be able to hold all of us... it is not an official campground, so it cannot be reserved, however there are several official campgrounds quite nearby, just in case.

 

I can't wait!!!! This is going to be a good time.

 

It certainly is, I'm quite excited!

Did you get that bumper yet?

 

No, not yet. I'm at the bottom of the All-Pro group buy. I have the winch ready to go.

 

All Pro?! Blasphemy! What about the ARB?

 

I know I know, at first ARB was my first choice. I love the look of the new ARB’s but then I started to calculated pro’s and cons and I went with the All-Pro.

The con’s for me on the ARB was the weight, no shackle points, sticks out farther and a few other but to avoid a heated debate I’ll leave out. I don’t need the extra protection the ARB would give, If I hit a moose I’ll let my insurance deal with it not my bumper J

The truck is still a daily driver, after the weight of the bumper, winch, sliders, (future skids)… All-Pro for me was the way to go. I do however like the Relentless aluminum… maybe I’ll upgrade later.

 

Valid points... and an All-Pro will look far better than stock. However, I am severely biased, and my vote is for a Relentless!

Either way, can't wait to see it!

 

I could maybe make it.

I think we could do better staying away from the most popular trails

"crowded"

ya'll should check out Area BFE

if ya'll want I could ask Burkie about some other trails
