[Granite Grinder]

In the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Who's going... I know Enigma is putting his hand up as a definite maybe.

[Enigma]

I'm there every year, in spirit.

 

[Enigma]

I shall be there in more than just spirit this year. My loving, beautiful wife gave me an early Fathers day present. Registration has been sent!

11 years of raising my hand finally paid off!

 

[bj70_guy]

No way

You going to take the 81? The body's already whipped, a quick run over the rubicon shouldn't make it any worse...

 

[Enigma]

Yup, the 81. I'm signed up for the wagon run as of now, dunno about any other stuff yet. Extra incentive now for those sliders, and hopefully a rear tire carrier...we shall see. Looks like the $%#& washing machine just sprang a leak tho...sheesh!

"guys only trip" so If someone wants to ride shotgun, split fuel and driving duty, I have lots of room! Prefer someone for cooking and cleaning, no wife along

My first Rubithon, so any info much appreciated.

 

[Enigma]

1,505 km – about 14 hours 47 mins. Can you still get the "iron butt award" for driving an 80 series?

86 more sleeps!

 

[Granite Grinder]

Whaaaaat!, Is the sky falling? Holy crap, that's cool!

[Enigma]

Well it's been 3 days...so who else is going?

 

[Vanny]

Hey Jeff. I have a roof rack you can rent for the trip if you want .

 

[kim]

Nice!

 

[Enigma]

Hmm, no locks on it. Abbotsford right?

Yes, Abbotsford .

armoring the 81

I've been perusing the web looking for rear bumper designs and tire swing outs, so far the 4x4labs one is the winner.

I did find this one today, made me think of Matt for some reason.

I believe Matt needed a front bumper with that special mount.

Registration confirmation came in the mail today! Wagon run on the Wednesday.

I still have that passenger seat free, and paid for 2 dinners on the Saturday...........

I was camped beside one of the Rubithon orginizers during Cruise Moab... sounds like you will have a blast. Wish I had more time off and could head down and check it out. Apparently it has been a lot tamer since the Canadians have not been down there sturing things up...

 

[Enigma]

3 weeks to go! I still have that shotgun seat open.........

 

[Enigma]

Well I'll be putting my hand up again for it next year, had to cancel. Ordered a t-shirt at least

 

[bj70_guy]

Jeez, you really are as bad as me.
Sorry it fell apart on you, that sucks.

 

[Enigma]

Hey now, no one is as bad as you
