GSW 2006 Registration now open

[Z]

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]

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!

and then there's always Pig Rock!

Holy crap, drunk much???

I drug a dead Zebra out of pritchett one year too

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.

Sure does.

[BigDaveZJ]

At least with Kraqa you can figure out the point he's trying to get across, that post was more along the lines of Ron after the date with that chick and her pimp or whoever that rich dude was.

[Krash80]

Hey! Her name was Carrie and she appreciates me!

[Bustin' Loose]

You are just a dick in a glass jar Ron.

Then he broke it again the next day on Hell's Revenge. I don't think his new axle will be breaking this year!

[jsteves]

If you've got space on the trailer, want to come to the East cost to pick my buggy up then head back?

What ever it takes!

[SCAMPER ZJ]

That's cutting it close.

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!!
