Moab meet, May 2011 *Official*

And if none of that is easily available, she even tries a nearby rock

 

ha ha ha that's awesome

 

finally the week has come!

and still much work to do...Tcase skid, sliders and SS brake lines all to go on before the trip..

and now added to the list, a replacement tire..damn duratrac sidewall not keeping up with me..

 

Harley

Harley is NOT a good off the leash dog unless its in my yard... in the truck she's amazing! she'll stay in there till i tell her to get out, but once she's out if she's not leashed up she's gone wandering so my dog will be on a 20 ft teather...

My list consists of finish building my front bumper and hopfully build sliders if not i just might buy them just got my spare tire last week

 

Bad news boys the superchargered Tacoma is sold was a sad day unless I get a new truck I can not attend the meet.....

 

Do you air down your duratracks offroad at all? After puncturing a sidewall in mine, I've been very reluctant to do so since, and now in seeing a crack form in yours... :/

My list just contains putting my truck back together. Ripped apart the dash to put in cruise control this weekend and haven't had a chance to finish it yet. :/ That, and buying food and packing it all up. I even have my fire-resistant wood.

 

yea i've been airing down to ~20psi lately...

i took the tire into discount tire to see what needs to be done..the guy there stated that i should be fine and that the cut didn't even make it down to the cords and there is still rubber between the cords and open air. I told him straight up that i was going to moab and doing alot of wheeling and will be airing my tire down to 20 psi and he said that i'd be fine and not to worry...so we'll see how it does

damn that's alot of and's....

just did my food and supply shopping last night knowing that i'd be doing last minute things on my truck tonight and tomorrow..then going to a comedy show thursday night so had to stock up early

 

Which truck did you decide to bring?

Curious what people are bringing for food? I want to keep it simple so it will probably be a tin foil dinner for me Saturday night.

 

FTW!

 

i'll be grillin saturday night...

eggs & bacon, hash browns breakfasts

and sandwiches and munchies for the trail lunches..


oh and plenty of "liquid snacks" for some extra carbs

 

hilarious sig pic!

 

I can always count on that pic for a good laugh...

 

Why did you sell it?

 

What happened man?

 

I'll be bringing the black one. Sprung a leak in the blue one I haven't had a chance to deal with yet, so not worth risking it.

As for food, I was just making my list...

I was thinking tin foil dinner as well, and sandwiches for lunch. Wasn't going to worry about breakfast, and do more of a snack type thing. I'm also half tempted to bring some sausage/hot dog, just for the fun of it, since I will be staying Sunday night as well. Of course i'll be bringing some marshmallows, as you cant go camping with out those.


btw, if anyone wants me to bring my propane stove, please let me know before thursday, as I'm happy to bring it, but if its not going to be used, I'd rather not waste the space.

 

Sorry to hear that the blue truck won't be joining us. I would have really like to have seen that truck perform to it's full potential. I guess we will just have to go back once it's fully operational.

Sounds like we both have the same menu planned.

From looking at the weather forecast it looks like this weekend is going to be AWESOME!!!!

Can't wait to meet everybody.

 

What channel are we using for FRS and CB?

My plan is to leave early tomorrow morning and I will try to drive straight to camp and get there tomorrow night. But I may stop over somewhere if I start falling asleep and then head to camp Friday morning/afternoon.

 

how long is the drive from san jose?

 

Google maps says about 16.5 hours, 950 miles. I think I can make in about 13-14 hours though. I still got a full day of work today and I have to pack all my stuff tonight. Hopefully I get enough sleep tonight.
