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.

...and blew out the hubs

Damn.......what was he doing?

[moabxj01]

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

[RuggedH2]

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?

[moabxj01]

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.

No. Always had been on the 27th. Regardless, I am going much earlier in the day than 5-6pm. I dont want to get there in the dark.
