I'll get the C-17 warmed up!
 
I don't want to hijack your trip but would ya'll mind if a messican tagged along?
Been wanting to do this trip for the longest. For me it would depend if I got all the friggin work done to my truck before that long of a road trip. H55F, 2F rebuild and a lot of interior odds and ends. If I'm not dead broke after all that I'd love to travel with ya'll.
:beer:

HELL YES!
 
Can you make Jackson to Moab in 2 days with a caravan of trailers?

Personally I don't travel in caravans. Inevitably one jackass will come unprepared and screw up my entire wheeling weekend while we wait at Wal Mart for trailer tires.

Also, if I am that jackass....which I have been many times, I don't want to hold up everyone else. Of course, this makes me an ass on top of a jackass but I can live with that :D

For me, I usually drive all the way to New Mexico on the way out. Usually Tucumcari that way I can have Blake's Lottaburger for dinner and then again for breakfast :D

From there, Albuquerque, Farmington, Cortez, Moab. Easy day 2 hard day 1.

I usually tow at 75-80 and have to stop every 200 miles or so because the Duramax has a tiny tank and I have a tiny bladder.

The way to do this is let those that want to caravan caravan, those that want to hotel hotel and those that want to expedition expedition. A trip like this is fun because all the trails are relatively close to town...some are in town. You can go out...come back, grab those that stayed up too late and go again.....

Sounds like a great plan so far!

We are in! just tell me when and we are there. It would be hard for us to make K2 and Razorback with a Moab trip in there as well.

I Would gladly sacrifice places i have been to for a whole new adventure with my fellow cottonland crew in Moab!

I went to Moab in August 07 and in a heep. So i am dying to go back with one of my rigs. I will bring the 80, barring mechanical problems, otherwise the zuk will be stretched by then and be a needin a test..

Ever since that trip I have been wanting to go back!

In In In !

I'll volunteer to be the "Jack Ass" if nobody else wants it.

way to take one for the team, but Jrob has proven to be a very good JACKASS!:grinpimp:
I hope you can not top him!

Pull some strings brother! I will get a heavy duty set of scissors to cut through the red tape !

10-4 I'm glad the position is already filled, I won't even bother to compete for the job. Not getting the job has actually saved me ten's of dollars on leisure suits.
:beer:
 
I think you still need to wheel in a leisure suit.
Just sayin...
 
I made a great Jackass!! However, if anyone wants the position I will gladly step down.

...Nolen ur a "Jack rat ass bastard for bringing this up!!!!

Question. On the overnight expedition how do I get all my s*** in a 40? Guess I need to fab a roof rack for the roll cage.
 
1450 miles. 22 hours 30 minutes from Brandon, MS! Hell, I'm in! I wish we could find a way to haul the 40's on one trailer. Any ideas?

Yep - invite Roger T. ( I am going to anyway;)) He knows the Moab trails fairly well and he can haul 4 FJ40's on the STLCA trailer - ask me how I know...:p

he can haul four, but it sounds like there would be three on there already...
 
I am in...of course unless my dogs run me over and break both of my femurs again. Mike and I are really wanting to get out there and do some exploring...by the way...had an awesome time this past weekend!

Cheers.
