    It sounds like they will be coming. They don't have very extreme rigs (33's, locker) but they know the area really well.

    If you're looking for something more difficult they can at the very least show you where the hard trails are. Maybe I'll talk the good dentist into taking my old rig out on a night run up Upper Helldorado or something.

    No, we don't have extreme rigs, but we are EXTREMELY CRAZY haha, and yes we will be coming down.
    Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

    I suppose that I could lead some trails, since I told Cody I would Besides, some of these guys might remember me, since I've been to a few of their events before, just not in my XJ. Always good times.

    How is your XJ setup Brett? It would be great if you could come out also.

    Well, judging from your signature, you'll be able to walk all over everything down there. I'm just on a RE 4.5" with 33's, nothing special, but I can make it work well.

    Nothin to amazing right now. Original frame is from an '85 as well as the rear axle and t case. Motor is a 22RE from a '92, as well as the 5 speed and the t case. Marlin doubler. SAS, spring over, welded, and lots of tube! You can check out some pics on photobucket, just do an album search for jeepin4x4j
    *Hopefully* I'll be linked up on air shox with hydro assist before June, but we'll see what happens...

    Well I'll be there for sure. Anybody want to try Area BFE on the Friday or Saturday? One of my buddies from here just got back and went in there, said it was awesome. He ran Britney Spears and Greenday with some smaller Jeeps.

    I know this is a Grand Cherokee event, but would anyone be opposed if a buddy of mine just followed me on the trail rides if I was bringing up the rear? he really wants to wheel with me, but doesn't want to just ride shotgun for our first trip to moab. he wheels a long armed xj, locked front and rear with 33s
    4.5" front custom 3-link, dual triangulated 4 link, 35s, custom front bumper. upcoming: custom belly skid, rear bumper, rocker cutout/boatsides, half doors

    That would be a problem. Best bet if you want to stick together is to ride with the group of non-Grands that are in the same situation as your buddy and you. Sorry.

    I was afraid of that. I would rather run with the other grands as I planned, like 6 months ago. I'll talk to him about it, try to convince him to ride shotgun and maybe help pay for gas.

    My suggestion:
    Have him run with the non-Grands group during the days. You guys will see eachother all evening for food, drinks, parking lot repairs, etc.

    Yeah, I did read the 1st page, I was just hoping to try a loophole in the rules, being as I'm sure there are gonna be groups on the trails behind GSWers. I still haven't talked to him about all of the options, but he might not be able to be there on friday. So I could run golden spike with GSW, and wheel with him on sat and sun with the rest of the non-grands. have you guys come up with your final trail selections for the weekend or will you be playing it by ear?

    GSW has it trails picked out--with only one change likely for saturday. the other group is playing it by ear.

    also, during this time of year, the trails aren't particularly crowded by multiple groups---too hot.

    Yeah, Steve and I are still throwing ideas around as to what to run. We were thinking about maybe just taking these guys to arches and do some hikes instead.

    Joking aside, we've no idea, other to run something that is worth it for all of you coming in from out of state. Anyone have a trail they've heard about and wanted to run when they came to Moab?

    Well, I am hoping to get into Area BFE at some point. Pritchet is also on the agenda.

    well, you're talking about trails that these trail leaders aren't very well set up for

    I don't know if I'd get out to Area BFE, but it's possible. You're more setup for the harder stuff there, but I know there's easier runs for those of us not on big ass tires. We'll have to see what we can run.

    tire size, wheel base, and the fact that I've run pritchet about 100 times

    also, i'm not taking my rig on pritchet. No front locker and we're limiting pritchett to 2 lockers this year. I'm hoping to ride in my old rig, but if not then I'll improvise.
