Cruise Moab 2016 official new thread

[Tikicruiser]

Inside of two weeks gents! Sounds like Steve has his rig sorted so everything is back on track. Time to plan a pre-packing day with the Taco. Bob, Chris, myself and possibly Stump are all stowing some gear, and we should choose a time to pack the truck in advance of Chris' departure. As much stuff that can be packed and placed on the roof rack the better. The pick up bed is not that spacious with the fridge in there. Waterproof duffels, or we can tarp the whole load up top would be ideal. Pack light and let's try and minimize redundancies where we can. I am around next weekend if that makes the most sense.

Also Bob, what is the plan when we arrive in Denver? Are we renting transportation to get us to Moab, or trying to route some of the posse to the airport to pick us up?

Stump, what is your arrival plan?

As far as I know I am picking up Bob Bascom at the Denver airport Monday May 2 and driving to Moab. Not sure if anyone else is counting on me for a ride from Denver to Moab. If you are counting on me please speak up!

Jeff - check with Gary to see if he has room in his rental car

@HeepEtr2 and @BlackPanzer , I'll have room in my 80 for anyone who wants to tag along. I talk to myself...a lot, so I might as well have a real person to talk to

Sure @Crusha, lure away the beef jerky with an offer of 80series luxuries. I see how it is...

As long as you don't answer yourself in long drawn out conversations, we are just fine. I will give you a pass if you have a mounted volley ball with a smiley face named Wilson. And maybe a dash mounted hula-girl.

Fixed it for me... "I'll have room in my 80 for anyone who who brings bourbon"

Got my trail assignments today:

Thursday Flat Iron Mesa
Friday Hell's Revenge
Saturday Poison Spider Mesa

My 40 gets rollbacked down to crusha's shop Thursday for pickup this weekend. The truck is as ready as i can make it!

Been reading about all the trails available at the event and looks like old Bob and I are gonna be on some gooduns. Hope he wears his depends so he doesn't soil my passenger seat..............

 

[76FJ40]

Your seats are vinyl, not to worry.

 

[BlackPanzer]

Don't be trash talking dash mounted Hula girls!

Never would I disparage the beauty of a dash-mounted hula girl (I gave a pass). Especially, given the moves a hula girl makes on a rock crawling bumpy trail.

 

[shmukster]

Well the first step in the trip is underway- the rollback picked up my 40 today, taking it to Crusha's shop in Phoenixville outside of Philly. The transport truck will pick up my truck, Crusha's, and Aaron's at Greg's shop. Here we go!!!!

 

[Crusha]

Remember that if anyone wants to swap to my trail itinerary there should be room for one truck because Bart is registered for those choices and he won't be there. Crusha- you can dance over most likely if you don't want to repeat. Just tighten those lug nuts. We don't want your wheel falling off again like Anthrocite.

 

[shmukster]

Don't know what trails you guys are running I'm guessing any trail ride is gonna be fun no matter who you're wheeling with. How's bout the rest of the crew post up what their trail assignments are?

 

[TRFCSUX]

Poison spider
Fins
Seven mile
When I signed up I thought I made all the picks as Gary but looks like I got zero rides with any of our guys

 

[76FJ40]

What trails did Bart get?
