Will anyone have OBA (either mechanically driven or with a compressor)?

I will have my air tank that runs my locker and airs my tires. I can bring an extra if you need it.
 
...Also I'm off of work starting Wednesday so Shawn if you're still heading up then I'll follow and we have an extra 1.5 days to play

sorry, forgot to reply to this... yes, that is a good possibility! we will talk and arrange to meet Onur Thurs as well.
 
I plan on getting there Thursday morning. So we can run something in and around Moab, supply at City Market and then if we want we can run down Lockhart Canyon to get to the meeting point on Friday. That would be a great run.

I am trying to get my OBA York squared away before the trip if I can. If not, I will be bringing a battery powered ARB compressor to help air up after the trip.

Thanks.

Well... I was counting on Ash for all of my blending and OBA needs:mad:

Not sure sure if I can swipe the CO2 from the taps this time. I'll have to see:frown:
 
Is there room for two more on this trip? My dad and I would like to come in my FJ with trailer. Only problem is I don't have a HAM...

We have handhelds we can let you borrow.

Does your vehicle meet the minimum specs on the first post?

Can you drive (i.e., this isn't your first time off road doing a tough long trail)?

Do you have spares and can you wrench on your own junk?

If so, please come along.

Yes, 35's, bead locks, rear locker, 2010 model so very reliable... Not going to overheat, etc.

Can you drive (i.e., this isn't your first time off road doing a tough long trail)?
Been off-roading 15 years... Done every trail in Ouray, Black Bear, Poughkeepsie, lots in Moab as well. Last year ran the Mojave Road with my trailer.

Do you have spares and can you wrench on your own junk?
Yes i can fix things. that said, I've never broken anything on a trail... Rig has HD skids front to back, sliders, HD bumpers, winch, etc. I drive it easy to keep from snapping axles, etc.

If so, please come along.
I will get permission from my boss (wife) and get things ready!

Is anyone convoying from ABQ? If so, please send me an email, BlaineWiles@gmail.com
Also, I noticed a change in the starting time and location... What is the current itinerary?

Thanks,
Blaine
 
Yep, we will probably leave Rio Rancho (from the corner of 528 and 550) right around 7:00 am on Friday. P.S. got CO2...

Wish I was in, but I have to bow out. Had surgery a week ago on my chronic achilles issue. Looking at a 3 month rehab until back to "normal athletic activities".

I don't think Matt is in either. He just took a week for hunting and didn't see getting more time for the HITR Trail.

Thanks for the update Graham. Get better sir.
 
I don't know why, but I was thinking meet in Blanding earlier. It we're not meeting until 3pm we can leave 528/550 at 9am or so and grab some bbq for lunch in Farmington!

I posted and changed the meeting time earlier in the thread because people were having issues with coming Thursday to meet Friday.

3pm at the Sinclair south of Blanding at the intersection of 191 and 95 on Friday.
 
I can do either. as it turns out I did 'forget' that my kids are in school. believe it or not, they don't want to miss school.:eek::cool: we can go Thurs afternoon or Friday morning either one. they are off school Friday and Monday.
 
Yep I saw that. My brain was somehow thinking you had changed the meeting time from Friday morning to noon.
