Yeah, that was you...for some reason I was thinking yours was silver. Maybe next year I can convoy with you.

My hundy was Silver... you should definitely make this trip!

Love the photos!

Curious how you post this many in one message. I've always been limitedto 5 per post. Any hints?

No idea... I'm limited to 20?

Here's a couple of shots.

In photo #4, is that Christo's rig? Three jerry cans? That beautiful in it's own right!

 

[Willy beamin]

What an amazing trip with all of you!

Not home yet...and my Ouray photos are no longer on my phone (will post them soon from home), but on the way home, I decided to try going up Moab's "Top of the World" trail...since I couldn't make it to the Moab Pre-Ouray run with some o y'all...

Never done anything inMoab...so this might not have been smart to do alone & with no spotter. Was funny though, because when I made it, the ONE GUY I found at the top--in a MONSTER-IZED Jeep--was totally astonished that I'd made it in my comparatively pedestrian-looking truck. People really do underestimate these Cruisers. On the other hand--I wouldn't recommend doing this alone either.

Here's a photo from a few hours ago from my phone:

That photo doesn't really show the massive drop, which looks about a 1/4 mile straight down. Also doesn't show that the truck is on somethng like a diving board... The next photo sorta lets u see a bit more of the overhang...

Still doesn't do it justice... This would be a great spot for a "3-D" photo...

I'll post a BUNCH of Ouray photos as soon as I get home.

Such an amazing trip with all of you!!

Hey Cody, curious what speed Crawl you used. I didn't use crawl, didn't even think about it. That was a fun section for sure.

I liked the comment from the jeep guy at the river crossing where most of us climbed the rock wall.... "you guys are crazy!" Took a hit to my front bumper and knocked off a piece of the rubber on the ARB due to the approach angle as did a few others... but the climb was a piece of cake.

I used the Rock setting and then speed 5. I think the '08-'11 has 3 speeds though? Really is an awesome feature.

for those of us without front / side cameras will appreciate this move - look and ye shall find what I'm talking about - old school

@kreiten is like "don't splash that brown water on me"

Wow- you did that on your own!
There were a few sketchy parts for sure. Looks like you were rewarded with those pics! That trail was completely different than any of the others we did in Moab- the others were were slick rock.

@Canyonero had his drone and the weather broke just in time for him to film. I'm sure it will be awesome.

That photo is amazing! Holy crap! I would make a poster of that for my office if it was my cruiser up there.

 

[SchobTime]

Awesome trip guys! Great meeting you all. Heading home now with the old timer in tow. 2500 miles to roll averaging about 7mpg - lol

 

[codyaustin5]

Hopefully by now everyone has made it back home safe. Just want to say thank you to everyone who came and was awesome to see old friends and make new ones. Special thanks to @sleeoffroad and @woody for helping me put this together!

Absolutely awesome to see that many 200s together at once and love seeing everyone's pictures (Thanks @kevinfoutch for organizing smug!)

Already thinking about next year!

 

[ethernectar]

What a great few days! Got home last night and will be posting pics as I wade through them. I started with probably the most useful pics: tires and their sizes: Ethernectar - Kevin Foutch

The Cruiser will never be the same!

 

[ethernectar]

Just added another hundred or so. Kevin, is there a way to make them thumbnails instead of big scrollers?

 

[kevinfoutch]

Done! Changed all galleries from portrait to thumbnails... Should help, especially for those larger galleries. @ethernectar nice composition on some of those photos, well done!

 

[bronc076]

I don't see any new posts in the "Wheeling Damage" thread. Hopefully you all made it unscathed.

 

[ethernectar]

I don't see any new posts in the "Wheeling Damage" thread. Hopefully you all made it unscathed.

I've got a few to add...

 

[Canyonero]

I don't see any new posts in the "Wheeling Damage" thread. Hopefully you all made it unscathed.

I've got some damage, nothing extreme. Bent and scraped up sliders, both bumpers, bent one of my rear shock guards. Plasti-dip on my wheels needs to be re-done finally (survived over a year!)

This weekend I'm planning to get the Canyonero back into fightin' shape though.
