Cruise Moab '10

Mor4wd · 01-07-10, 02:37 AM

Im pretty sure Im going this year. So are you 60 guys planing on attending? If so, what trails are you going to sign up for? I know there has been 60 series runs planned in years past and I'd really like to see that this year as well. Maybe its already being talked about somewhere else?

alaska60 · 01-07-10, 05:31 AM

Sounds like we may start right here....... we also may get moved to chit chat too

Trapper50cal · 01-07-10, 07:00 AM

I and 4 other rigs/owners from Durango I know will be in attendance, I'm the only 60. I did Hell's Revenge last year and I'll prob. do Kane's or Spider this year...I try not to schedule too many "official" trail runs so I and friends can tinker around elsewhere...(Long Canyon, Gemini, Pucker, etc.)

Hey I'll be the token busted beat up probably not gonna make it why is that guy even here 60! I always like to call dibs on being the dumb guy!

boots4 · 01-07-10, 09:24 AM

I'll be there this year too. I'm trying to get one more local FJ60 ready to go but we'll have to see if we can get him ready. I've been youtubing the trails on the cruisemoab.com site and found several that look fun and challenging. I'm waiting to see what days the trails show up on the registration form but they will be from the 5, 6, and 7 rated groups.

I'll be there. Oinker, we'll have to get together beforehand, would love to see your conversion. Last year was my first CM (we just moved here from the east coast) and I was shocked at how many 80's there were, and how few 60's. There were a good number of 40's too, but lots and lots of 80s and a lot of fj cruisers too. I think I only saw two 55's and one 45, but there could have been more.

Mor4wd · 01-15-10, 12:40 PM

Alright guys, I want to sign up but Id like to hit the same runs that some 60 are doing. Have any of you singed up?

alpendubber · 01-15-10, 03:38 PM

Pretty sure the wife and I will be going again this year. Probably running the same rated trails as last year.

Hey Trap, how have you been? Any new badass mods, like TWO bottle openers on the ARB? You bringing some of that world famous beer?

I just registered. I'll have the family with me so we're going a little mild:
Thurs: Elephant Hill
Fri: Fins 'n Things (although I don't think I'd rate Fins a 4, it's got some scary moments, especially some of those steep climbs where all you can see is your hood!)
Sat: Chicken Corners

Really hoping to make it back this year but this time with my pile. Just waiting to see what the bossman has to say.

boots4 · 01-27-10, 06:47 PM

I hope he says yes.

cruiser_guy · 01-27-10, 08:34 PM

Coming with the '55 but if that for some reason isn't ready then it will be the BJ60. I just thought it would be cool in the '55.

Well he's going to be there, it's just a matter of if I get to tag along again.

We've got a lot of trips between now and then (KOH, Battle at Primm, TinBenders) so hopefully I'll be able to get to Moab too.

freds40 · 03-11-10, 11:36 AM

Bringing it back up. Who else is going to be the? What trails are you going to be on? I got word I'll be on Gold Bar Rim Friday.

We're getting there sometime Thursday for Vendors night. I'm hoping to hit another trail if time permits, just don't know which.

jkimmel · 03-12-10, 09:35 PM

havent gotten official trail confirmation yet but should be

Pritchett
Hells Revenge
BFE

should be fun

cruiser_guy · 03-13-10, 05:22 PM

A question on the CB radio requirement, does it need to be a 40 channel or is a 23 channel sufficient? I need to see what low cost options I have.

wesintl · 03-13-10, 06:30 PM

a 23 is probably fine. in the past CB channels used have been 1-22

cruiser_guy · 03-14-10, 09:06 PM

Picked up a handheld CB on Ebay. Should be fine. I'll make sure I have the 12v adapter.

Max.Powerzz · 03-22-10, 10:05 AM

The best local deal I found for a cb was actually Flying J truck stop, they have everything you can imagine at decent prices. I'm not a pro but the brands seemed ok. I picked up a cheapie hand-held last year for CM and they had all of the adaptors and everything. I was surprised how hard it was to find a cb at a brick and mortar store.
