Ok a little update for everyone. I spoke with Ali today and he thought it might be too much for too little time. Basically, there is so much to see, that he suggested that maybe we do the lower part (offroad through the N.P. areas) or Moab, but not both.
So I was thinking maybe we make Moab a base camp, that way everyone could decide which vehicle they wanted to take and tow if neccesary. We could choose a campground and do the trails and National Parks that are close.
Get the rigs to Moab and choose a day to do Canyonlands, another day doing Arches and so on.
If that works for everyone, then we can plan accordingly and just do a campground reservation for those that want to camp and the ones that want to hotel/motel can make their reservation.

Sounds good to me. The two northern routes in my post both go through Moab, so that gives you an idea of driving times. Blanding is about 50 miles or so south of Moab.
I would suggest we meet in Moab rather than try to caravan down.
Then everybody can set their own pace/schedule.
I wonder how much it would cost to ship the 40 down there and back? It sure would be nice to have it to play with on the Sandstone.

I'd love to go on this awesome adventure, but I'm saving up for the FJ Cruiser Summit in July at Ouray, Colo. Got the same problem the rest of us do, work gets in the way of fun.
Although the trails at Ouray are far less challenging from what I hear, I might have some time to pass through Moab on the way back. Really don't expect to wheel, but if there are just some super scenic spots I should check out, please let me know. I'm taking the camera with me.
Perhaps I can budget for a Moab wheeling trip in 2009. It's on my list of places to see.

Actually it ties into the thread pretty well.
Out of Moab you can go to Arches NP which has some of the most photographed scenery in the world.
