Puerco Moab Shakedown

[BionicCruiser]

..so shawn you have the mount but not the antenna? if your mount is NMO i can loan you one, i'll have it with me either way. and i have cb too. might be easier since steve is cb-able too. course i could loan steve a HT if he wants to be rogue.

i wont' have any seats hopefully steve in the runner does.) you could just let the kids drive your towrig in the puerco shawn...

yes, I have a NMO mount. the base is there, but I'll take it off and we can put yours on. thanks. I knew you wouldn't have seats. and nobody is touching my new tow rig.

we are all ready on this end! see everyone there. John, Steve, Jared, me, and maybe Mike. I gotta impress my B-I-L. he's never rock crawled, so it shouldn't be too hard.

holy fook, your sleepercab tow rig doesn't sleep like 9 people?

I'm driving direct in the 40. it's close enough to me to just drive.

 

[BionicCruiser]

everyone's back. good day! Steve L got some good video again.

4 vehicles. the ones that said they were attending. my brother in law, nephew and kids had a great time.

so after a quick once over, it looks like i tested my sliders and my cat guard for the first times on that rock

it was also steep enough to dump fluid out of my PS res.

cool, nice pics. now we just need Steve's video. we tried a video shot from under my 40 going up articulation alley. I'm curious what it looks like.

yeah the video will be cool! he had the right perspective for the beginning 1 "wheelie"... if it gets sound i want he raw file, stuff like the rock scrapes and the bumper whack on the rock "STOP!... yeah i got that one"

thanks again to Jarred for the spot and Shawn for taking the pics. definitely was the hairiest stuff i've driven. not saying it was hardcore, but it set my pucker factor a little higher.

that was definitely a 4+ line you took there! maybe even a 5.

the sound on those cameras isn't very good. partly because it is inside that protective plastic case.

Sorry I missed it - looks like it was a fun day!

Thanks for sharing the pics - John was pushing that 80 pretty hard.

Had fun everyone, beautiful day! I finally smashed my last virgin skid plate (4"x 4" on tip of transfer), only took 8 years to use it Now I'm building a belly pan for CM2011

I've got the ruff cut of the video put together...needs some trimming about 20min total at the moment (started with 17.68gb of footage) Might be a bit before it's done.
