Looking forward to seeing that rig. It's gotta look great, I'm sure.

I would say OFF the escalator until your last day. That obstacle is going to give you the most buckle of anything in Moab.

It's not just your steering components that are at risk. The steering will wear away slowly. But the tied rods and joints on the axle can snap. Ask Ken! With 13.50s he buckled two HD Fabtech ties rods in no time.

Is the agenda set up for the week yet? Or who do I contact to find out whats going on?

I am buying an H3 this week and figure I might as well break it in properly

MoabXJ01,

You are welcome to come along.

Reservations in Moab might be kinda tricky.....but shouldn't be impossible. If you don't mind staying in a tent, a guy that lives down there will probably let you put one up in his yard (there will be others there too).

I live right down the road from you, PM me and I can get you any info you need.

I'm rolling down either Thursday or Friday depending what I can get done.

Do you still have the XJ?

Yeah I think we will just be camping out. I want to leave next thursday but my friend probably can't get off work till friday(28th) so I'm guessing we wont leave until then.

I sold the xj a few years ago but the name has stuck since all my email and other logins were based on it

I am excited to get the hummer and see what it can do in moab. I'll send ya a PM.

Thanks,
Ryan

Yeah that's what CO said too.

I watched a Dana 60 full width (and stretched) YJ, with 6 inches of lift struggle like a mother f*cker on that.

I don't know how my tie rods will do.....but I do think Hummers have an advantage on that over short wheel bases.

So, now I'm thinking of coming the 26th, instead. As it draws nearer, I get more anxious to get the hell outta here.

WTH? I thought you were always planning to go on the 26th. I'm hoping to leave around 5-6pm.

We had 15.5's and were always replacing junk in the front.

CVs, tie rods and center links when bent or broken, bring teh sucketh.

I just got back.

Didn't break anything (did bend some steel, but nothing that matters - damn trailing arms, I hate everything that hangs down on this truck). We ran Moab Rim, Kane Creek, Strike Ravine and Steel Bender.

Complete kick in the ass.......The H2 rocked.

These BF Goodrich KM2's are the best truck tire I've ever owned. The flex is unreal and the traction is outstanding! Absolutely great tire!

Wish I could say the same.

- Hub assembly
- Steering Rack
- CV axle (busted on I-70 on the way home)

Truck is still in SLC at the dealership. I have to drive back next weekend to get it.

Still had a great time when I wasn't dealing with breakage. Good to see everyone again although I wish I could have run some more trails.

Can you get it shipped? It would probably be the same as gas & airfare.

There wasn't a flight out until 10pm and no non-stops to ANY of the Bay Area airports. I wouldn't have arrived until this morning.

I ended up renting a car for the week. Cheaper than flying, unlimited miles, plus I have something to drive to work. And most of it will be reimbursed through warranty.
