If I register, do I have to show up?? I'm not sure if I will be deployed during that time frame and I have no way of knowing until just a few weeks before. I'd rather not take someone's spot, though I'd like to go if I will be able to.

In most cases, I'd say yes, but I have a feeling in your situation the organizers would be understanding considering you might be serving your country at the time!

I just printed my waiver and mailed it in. I know that I said I wasn't going to go this year, but... well... I LIED. Time to go build a buggy!:smt041

Nate,
If you do confirm your registration and do have to bail, we typically ask that you let us know by May 15th so that we can open up your spot to someone else. In your situation though I would see just letting us know as soon as you do would work fine.

Just a note to everyone, get your waivers in the mail ASAP!!!!! As of today's mail, there are 23 people with confirmed reservations!!

Also a note to those who have confirmed their reservations, if for some reason you end up not being able to make it to GSW, PLEASE LET A PLANNER KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! I have a very strong feeling there will be a considerable waiting list this year, so if you can't make it, let us know so someone who can be there can go!

How do the trail ratings of intermediate, difficult, near-extreme, extreme translate to the 1 to 5 scale or the Jeep 1 to 10 scale? The Jeep Jamboree listed Fins and Things as 6-7, Steel Bender as 6-7, Metal Masher as 7-8 and Poison Spider as 8-9.

Translation please.

01-15-2006, 12:14 PM
Jeep Jamboree's are TERRIBLE at rating trails. Poison spider is 8-9? You can get a stocker through there with nothing but bumpers scraping, but it's still a reat trail.

I mean if poison spider is 8, what does that make prichetts or rusty nail, 29 or something? :finga:

We kinda have our own system without number ratings. You can compare our ratings from last year against Jeep Jamboree or Easter Jeep Safari trail ratings and get an idea. Keep in mind that sometimes trail ratings can change from year to year if conditions change. Best bet if it's your first trip and you're not familiar with the trails is to discuss your mods and experience with a planner and get some suggestions. You do not need to decide before you get to GSW. We ask at registration to get an idea of the participant's interests to help us plan the right trails and get the right number of trail leaders.

Well I know this is a good way out, but I want to have an idea.

So you you all camp out or hotel or???

What's the temp gonna be like? I was talking to some guys today about Moab and they were saying lows in the upper 90s?? :eek:

If anyone is coming from WA/OR/ID area, let me know, would be nice to "convoy".. It will probably be just me too, so I'll have room for ya in the truck & Jeep if you just want to come.

When you you all usually arrive and leave? (asking so I can put in for leave soon).. I bet I'll be the only rig there with Alaska plates haha.


I'm planning on going to Moab the week after EJS so I'll have a better idea of the area, etc.

I remember it being relatively cold there last year, like around 80s?? Not sure because I was out there for a week before and a week after and the weather changed so much during that time... went from Hurricane like rain and cold weather at night to scorching heat.

Most people all had hotels last year. I had a condo and if anyone wants to go in on one, it would end up being cheaper than a hotel and nicer, private hot tub, pool, driveway for repairs.... etc. I also camped a few nights out there too. Most camping is pay, but there are some really nice areas in the Behind the Rocks area near the sand dunes that are free, about 10 miles south of town.

nate
01-16-2006, 12:17 AM
What does a hotel cost normally? I'd like to keep the whole trip under $300.... I'm figuring about 1/2 of that will be fuel.

I'll camp in the woods and shower at truck stops if that's what it takes. Doesn't bother me any.

I ran pritchett last year w/ my way too tall and way too narrow jeep and it was fine. I couldn't make it up rocker knocker w/ no front locker and the last obstacle (i think it's rockpile), i had cody strap me up cause my front end just unloaded way too much...gave it one shot and said the hell w/ it...i need a front limiting strap really bad.

It should be a cakewalk for what used to be your ZJ.


Sandy-
Is anyone planning another "pre-run" this year on Pritchett like you did last year on Thursday? Just curious cause I'd like to do that trail again, but also would like to spend a couple days on easier trails w/ my buddies who are bringing their "stockish" WJ's.

There is a prerun that the trail leaders will do sometime in the spring and then there is the GSW Planner's Run on the Thursday before GSW. The Planner's Run on the Thursday before GSW is not an open run so those plans will be made among the GSW Planners. There are usually many people there a day(s) early running trails so nobody should have trouble finding GSW early arrivals to hook up with.

Whatever I run, I still like my sheetmetal.... I mean if I push a door in cause I was stupid, oh well... but if I have to rip a foot off each side of my Jeep cause the trail isn't wide enough... not doing it :D Just finished paying it off this month, so I want it to last a little while!

BigDaveZJ
01-16-2006, 01:35 PM

Most of the trails we'll be running at GSW have ample room for a ZJ to get through. I can't think of any situation on any of the trails I've done out there where a ZJ was too wide.

Other than bashing my rock rails (which is why they are on there) and denting my front & rear plastic bumper covers at the very first GSW, I have escaped with ZERO body damage. I have busted other stuff in Moab but since sheet metal is your concern in this thread, somehow after 8 GSWs the only sheet metal damage that I have was self inflicted on trails other than in Moab. :smt003

Here is a site with some info on the Moab trails. Might help you gauge how difficult they are.

I want to go since I am fairly close to Moab, but I would hate to take someones place if I can't make it and have to cancel. I just never know what will come up. I guess I will double check my calendar and see.
Sounds like its a lot of fun. Is GSW normally a guys weekend out or do others bring their kids or wife? Just wondering if it was an off-road party weekend or not. The wife will party a bit but not with the kids.

There are parties if you want to find them, but remember that this is a 4-wheeling event, so any partying is done AFTER the trails.

Basically people from all walks of life come for GSW. Families, groups of teenagers, older folks, partiers, non-partiers.

Cody,
My guess is that AAA Plus covers additional towing mileage. I doubt that it would cover things like what you guys went through to get Mike Moore off Rusty Nail, but it could be nice to help get a rig home if everybody else's trailers are full.

AAA plus gives you something like 150 miles of towing, where regular gives you THREE.

Cody,
My guess is that AAA Plus covers additional towing mileage. I doubt that it would cover things like what you guys went through to get Mike Moore off Rusty Nail, but it could be nice to help get a rig home if everybody else's trailers are full.

What started this question was this from the GSW2005 info page[http://gsw.mallcrawlin.com/] (http://gsw.mallcrawlin.com/])
It is also a good idea to have a road service assistance plan, i.e. AAA Plus or equivalent. In prior years we had one vehicle roll-over, a broken drive shaft, broken axle, blown radiator, several flat tires and plenty of scratches, dings and dents. :smt023

What concerns me is that at http://www.aaa-calif.com/mem/auto/ers.asp (http://www.aaa-calif.com/mem/auto/ers.asp) I found:
Towing Benefit (http://www.aaa-calif.com/mem/auto/ers.asp#towing) — Across U.S. and Canada
BenefitAAA Premier® Up to 200 miles on 1 tow, up to 100 miles on your remaining tows
AAA Plus® 100 miles
Classic Membership 7 miles


... and
Services Outside Southern California — Peace Of Mind Around the U.S. and Canada

In areas other than Southern California, Automobile Club of Southern California members are entitled to Roadside Assistance service from the local AAA Club. Members will be required to pay the AAA station for any service that the local AAA Club does not normally provide its members. An application for reimbursement of service charges may be submitted to the Auto Club for consideration.[italics added] :smt087

... and
The following services are not covered under the membership:

Service to vehicles located in an area not regularly traveled by private passenger automobiles (such as open fields, beaches, creek beds, private logging or forest service roads, snow-filled lanes or driveways) :mad:Is this coverage a good idea for GSW and GSSW?

Does this mean that I can get towed 200 miles in California and not in Utah or Arizona?

Does this mean that I would have to be back on paved road at GSW to be towed to the shops at the south end of Moab?

By the way, I live in Los Angeles so it would be a really long walk.

I just started off road driving and have been to one Jeep Jamboree at Moab, so your comments and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.:D

I wouldn't be TOO worried about it. You'd be amazed at what this group can accomplish. Last year, I bent an 8.8 shaft, bent both front UCA's, and ripped a rear UCA mount off the unibody. We got my ZJ mobile again on the trail. Another person ripped their steering box off the frame in the middle of a trail. For one reason or another, another box just couldn't be thrown on, so Cody drove his tow rig AND trailer in to where the Jeep broke IN THE RAIN to get the Jeep out. Between the parts we all carry, the knowledge of everyone involved, and a leave no one behind attitude, we should at least be able to get you back to town.

Before potential first time GSWers freak out at the above description, this damage was realized on a very difficult trail. If you have a near-stocker, you won't be going on such trails (we trail leaders won't let you) so you won't be risking this kinda of damage.

However, if you do happen to get stuck, we should be able to get you back to Moab. In 8 years of GSW, I can't remember leaving any vehicle on the trail.

BigDaveZJ
01-20-2006, 08:40 PM
I guess I shoulda mentioned that? LOL

I typically lead a group through Poison Spider Mesa which is a nice easy to moderate trail that can be done in a stock vehicle if you have armor or dont mind a few nicks and dings and we've yet to have anything break in the 3 years or so that I've been leading that trail, and 4 or so running it with GSW.

Which brings up another point, if you're new to slick rock or don't have an uber built rig, I'd recommend Poison Spider Mesa. It's a simple trail, but you will be amazed at the things your rig can do on slick rock. Not sure when we'll be running it yet this year, but I'd check it out, classic Moab slick rock and some amazing scenery, and then there's always Pig Rock!

No man left behind, although sometimes the availability of parts in Moab can make quick repairs difficult. AAA would likely only pull you to Moab and then you'de be stuck anyways. So, at the event, one way or the other you're going to make it back to town. Outside of the event, you're on your own so AAA could be something nice to have.

FYI,
GSW Registration has now moved into a Waiting List. This means that all waivers that haven't been confirmed will be put into a list based on the date that I receive them. If people do cancel their reservations, I will confirm people from the waiting list in the order that I received their waiver. If you do end up on the waiting list, I will contact you via the email you provided during registration within 72 hours of me receiving your waiver in the mail.

Yeeesh, that WAS close, John - I gotta get my priorities straight!!

Scott, I owe you yet again:
1. Loaning me a tie rod in the parking lot en route Steelbender
2. Declining my Clayton's gift certificate and suggesting I sell it (to buy a new tie rod :))
3. Invites to wheelin' trips
4. Getting me to the CO4x4 M&G
5. Reminding me to register for GSW '06 AND offering to do the pick-up from my work and delivering it in person to Dave

You saved my summer, man! I would have been seriously bummin' if I didn't get to wheel with you guys again. Thanks too Dave and Tom for all the organizing.

See you in Moab!!:D


No problem. :) You have seen the God Father right? :D

You can still register and send your waiver in to get on the waiting list. The waiting list is still in the single digits so I'd say your chances are good.

Honestly if you would show up, do you think that people would send you home?

If that's the case, show up and we'll go wheeling somewhere in Moab, how's that.

This comes up every year and every year we have to say yes, we would "send you home".

BLM (as well as eco-extremists that live for posts like this) does (do) monitor these boards and does (do) monitor us in Moab. We can't have more than 50 vehicles in our event.

If GSW is full (and Tom does have to set a hard-number cutoff at 50, or the whole event is at risk) - that doesn't mean you can't go to Moab and do your own thing. It's a great place, and there's always someone to wheel with. Kraqa and I and maybe a couple others will be staying in Moab after GSW for some more wheeling, as an unorganized get-together.

well Im #1 on the waiting list...hmmm. If its not around school time and I don't kill my jeep during GSW, I might be down for a few extra days afterwards.

Last year I was there for a week before and a week after. After trails with GSW I would usually go run something else too (if the first trail was a short one). If you want, just come out and I wheel with you after GSW is over.

Yup. Bascially what I meant is if there's people that want to show up and aren't able to get in the GSW, I'll led them somewhere. I'm spending a week in Moab next month, so I think I can find a few trails.

Thanks all, this will be a great event, got my fingers crossed on the waiting list.

I will also be in Moab for a week (May 14 - 20) and will post teaser pics to get things going. :)

Tough break [pun intended?], I understand what it feels like to have a rig not ready in time => been there, done that :pissed:

I plan to be around the end of June ... just not in Utah.:shake:
Phillyjz, You know the drill :rock: [From the "Arkansas Traveller"]:
"Have you lived here all your life?"
"Not yet."
:doh:

I am planning on going the the Labor Day Weekend Camp Out held by the Red Rock 4 Wheelers in Moab. http://www.rr4w.com/events.html
I have reservations in the Redstone Inn. They are not taking up reservations yet.
