Alabama Goes to Moab - Trip Planning Thread

Waiting for my quote from SOS! Getting me for bumpers, sliders, bed bars.

 

I guess you aren't getting that 17 huh?

 

Nah, I'm gonna hold off. The dealerships are all on crack down here. Anyway, my daughter wants a jeep (I know) for her 18th b-day/grad present so I'm probably gonna take the car I gave her back and get her what she wants. I'll keep my 13' for my son and trade her CX7 for a 17. It's a 2012 and paid off so that's more trade money.

 

@stronghammer and @justinalldredge19 boys I think I'm in. I however will be camping the entire time to make it work financially. That and I already have the RTT and everything ready to go. Only thing I actually need before I can make the trip is more Jerry's and CB radio since we are going to be communist and use a shitty radio system. And if you guys would like any other parts I talked to one of my sponsors and you all can receive 10% off any item they carry if you get the Moab discount code from me

 

If I can rig up a 5 gallon shower set up I will probably camp a few nights, then stay in a hotel a few night. and PMed.

 

I will probably camp the whole time and maybe camp at campgrounds that way I can shower. But I have a camp shower setup already and a changing room and awning for being set up. The changing room is the perfect place to scrub down the boys and wash off the dust and cheese

 

Got a new warn winch down here on the panhandle for sale...

Wish I could make it for this but my truck is a long ways away for making a trip like this

 

Many people say a stock truck can do just about everything, looks like you already have suspension. You shouldn't have any problems, the more the better.

 

I think I'd want at least sliders beforehand but you may be right. Trip looks like it'll be a blast

 

SOS concepts has already offered up a discount for us to help offset the cost. Quite finding excuses and start saving to join us....its that simple

 

Everyone happy with the discount from sos?

 

Pays for shipping. Discount is a discount in my eyes.

 

I might have just brought this trip up to my wife... I think sliders and some skids could happen before the trip...

 

That 3 so far for full time camping! The rest of you ladies need to grow a pair and learn to take a whores bath in your tents.

 

Water hose + faucet on the side of a building = Shower

 

Been there more than once.

For everyone really worried about showering, there will be showers. Might be in the form of a camp shower hung on a tree or off the side of a truck or if we stay in cheap camp sites most of them have showering facilities. Either way you'll get a shower.

 

I would have been all for that when I was a younger man. Nowadays, I want a hot shower and a comfortable bed in a tempature controlled room. I may camp a couple nights to hang with the group of campers, but my back can only tolerate so much.

 

I have 4 herniated discs in my lumbar and I sleep probably as good as I do in my sleep number bed in my RTT that 3" memory foam is awesome. Should be good weather that time of year in the desert

 

Guys, I will say this, the hotel selection in and around Moab is sparse. If you're sleeping in a hotel during the trip, book well in advance.
