TLCA OFFICIAL PIC THREAD -- Live from Cruise Moab!!

[semlin]

still on fins. matt (hulk) our trail leader and two shots of the guy from minnesota who was up with his father in law whose names i forget (I also unfortunately forget the name of the couple from minnesota who ran kane creek in front of me friday so i am an equal opportunity minnesota forgetter). matt did a great job

and then of course there is the great transition on my truck courtesy of luke porter from 4x4 labs and his crack team of technicians who cut the back of my truck off on thursday night and bolted on luke's beautiful bumper and ken hanna's sliders all in time for friday when i badly needed them on kane creek as i consistently managed to screw up every obstacle so that i slammed one or the other. here's the truck on thursday, luke, dale and brian on thursday night supervised by my son keefer, and the bumper doing it's job on friday

and here's a couple more of kane creek ably led by tim (nakman) and tail gunned by was. a great bunch of folks from all over including a large new mexico contingent all of whom claimed never to have heard of cruiserdan the 80 in the middle is "Lockd80" from N.M. last one is me.

also from fins here are two shots of a privately owned fj on the same obstacle as buddy above. she took on everything on the trail which was pretty gutsy on her own brand new vehicle.

WOO HOO! That's me!

What an awesome trip!

Couple from my short trip. Played RIO for Will Carroll in his FJ Cruiser, went on Poison Spider on Saturday. The stock FJ Cruiser had no problems on the trail. We scraped the front skid plate a couple times and the hitch once. The ATRAC works very well, there was only once it didn't help us crawl right over something. And then it was just a matter of locking up the rear diff.

After the waterfall.

Brian Lawrence and his calico 60

On the wedgie.

Line up at the end.

Wow, what a week, can't believe it went by so fast. I didn't take as many pics this year, but do have video that I'll work on downloading later. In the mean time, here is one of Mary (purpletaco) coming down the diving board on Fins. Then Romer and ROD at the overlook on wipeout hill yesterday, plus the lineup from yesterday's wagon run.

 

[nakman]

Today I witnessed the official offering to the Shaman on one of the canyon ledges in Moab. It was a site to see and I feel humbled to have been present. here are Ige and Nakman making an offering and asking forgiveness from the shaman

After our blessing, we were allowed to park together at lunch.

And our group was then able to leave the trail, issue-free. See ya next near, Moab.

 

[Riley]

Great pics guys, cool looking 60/80 wagon train.
Looks pretty tempting for next year. ;p

Okay...here is 180+ pics from Cruise Moab. Linky

I didn't have time to scratch out license plates...so if you see your rig here and want me to do this let me know.

Also, if anyone wants hi-res copies of these just PM me. Or if you want me to remove pics tell me as well.

Most of the shots are from the Saturday Hell's Revenge trail run. We had one new FJ cruiser with the trail team. As a few people have mentioned...it handled very well ( I drove one). It walked up Hell's Gate like it was nothing - not locked, factory condition (with an ARB bumper and skid plate), using only the A-Trac. The A-Trac took a little bit to get used too (it feels like you're scraping bottom when it engages), otherwise it worked like a charm.

A few teasers...

Going up Hell's Gate in the FJ Cruiser:

Ben's 100 catching some air:

A little carnage (broke frame):

Cheers,
Matt

O'Douls? OK coming right up....guess I wont have to hide the real beer!
Never seen Ige drink a beer....thats gotta be something new! It usually never even touches her tongue! :whoops:

it touches my tongue too often...why do you think half my junk isn't running?

here are the pics that were on my camera....it appears i spent too much time with the tool box out.

 

[nuclearlemon]

"We want more, we want more, we want more!"

How sweet is it to have that out on the trail, congrats mate!
