moab was killer again, perfect weather, great trails, good folks.

the FJ cruiser trail team was there and they had 5 of them there. I got to wheel the thing through tipover challenge. pretty neat car, absolutely no feedback in the controls. you can't hear the thing run, theres no feel through the pedals, steering wheel or suspension. you push the pedal down and the front makes a bunch of clicking noises and it just goes up stuff, very strange.

drove the HJ61 out there with an open 3.73 gearset in the rear and drove about 70-75 mph. put 4.88's with air locker in the front before we left and took another 4.88 air locked third out with us and installed it in the rear axle at tom woods shop the day we got there and wheeled with 4.88's for the week (52 mph at 3000 rpms). it took about 30 minutes to switch it out. before we left we swapped the 3.73's back in for the drive home, worked sweet. full floating rear axles are nice.

got denied on hells gate again, no biggie. awesome 2 wheel drive wheel stand that almost flipped me over. it popped out of 4 on the way down into the hole and I didn't catch it until i was almost flipped over coming out. traction out there is unbelievable.

took the overloaded wagon up moab rim in the dark with 4 people after the brewery with andy leading in his buggy, bad bad idea, really bad idea. thats a scary sidehillin' over the edge to certain death mofo. thought I heard my rear tire de-beading but it was a figment of my over paranoid imagination at the time...

delivered an 80 bumper and installed it in camp. the new bumper on my 61 saved its ass multiple times.

went on cliffhanger and had lunch on the cliffs. 2000 feet to the bottom is pretty crazy, like a roadrunner cartoon. we had a sweet paper airplane contest. KC won with his neo circular flippy little hoop plane. it disapeared into the sky after about 10 minutes of going straight up.
more pics coming...

Hey Kevin!!!

Next year, you can run Gold Bar Rim in the Gnewt!

She LOVES Gold Bar Rim!

I'm just really happy that Jeremiah Proffitt didn't have to kick my a$$ for giving my tiny little IFS rig the same name (essentially) as his green monster!

Hey Z80, those are awesome!

Anayone else having the Widowmaker video skip on them? It starts, and then it just hangs for me.

"oh, so that's MOab!! "- the wifey.

see you all next year! I better have the new Slee Bumpers by then!

I hate it when I run a trail with someone I would like to know from the we/Cruiser community and I do not end up knowing who they are until after the fact

We were on Hell's Revenge with you on Friday

Yes, first 5 minutes ever at Moab and i'm having a little trouble getting up that ledge. Then I get a cascade cruiser club member get on the c.b. telling me "give it some gas", boy did I Launched my cruiser in the air and landed on my rear tire still in gear.

 

[Waggoner5]

Dang Luke, thats crazy. Moab Rim during the day is not fun, night run is nuts. I took my HJ61 up there 3 years ago and thats the last time for that run.

 

[Radd Cruisers]

Nice rig Christo, the body looks so factory you never would guess it was custom built.

Rob

The VlakVark made it's first trip with no breakage. Probably because the driver was very mellow this year.

All the pictures from Fin's and Things, Behind the rocks, and the Homegrown team in Area BFE.

Thanks to Rising Sun and especially the CM Comittee. I think the event has grown and lot and the management of the event was excellent. Being a trail leader and issued a Satelite Phone was probably a first on any organized TLCA events and much appreciated. It makes the worries of the unforseen in the back country a lot less.

Had a great run with a great group including many of the Norcal guys. Looking forward to hanging on the beach at S&T.

Kooooool shot.
