My New Off-road Camping Trailer

[Chris Hyde]

No offense, but.... FJ is the same price as the Rubi  :-X

But half as capable.  I'm not going for mall crawling.

Street Queens are perfect with manuals.  There is no substitute for an auto on the trails.

[BigJerm]

please after owning both I would take the manual over the auto on the JK any day. 1st and 2nd gear go on their own up hills and keep speeds real low down hills. Not to mention the auto JK has been known to overheat, spill fluid and uhhh catch on fire in some cases...

I'll second that.  I wish I'd rather put up with a clutch on the trails than the bad auto on the street.  My auto is horrible.

Wouldn't you rather drive your Jeep?
And isn't the drive out there part of the whole adventure?

I love roadtrips.

[Chris Hyde]

No way I would put all that wear and tear on my Cherokee.  All it takes is something to break on the way out and you lose time sitting by the road, looking for parts, etc.  I'd  rather wear out someone elses.  ;D  Not to mention, us youngsters (well, younger) have many years until retirement when we can be gone for weeks at a time.   ;D ;D ;D

I'm happy to get to drive it.  Flying 100k miles a year, makes you want to drive somewhere.  Been that way a few times hunting, just not quite that far.  Hey Ben, my buddy has a 3 jeep trailer, but I can't pull it!  Don't want to either.   

I've got a hotel in Moab for Sat-Sat.  Tentatively, I'll be towing mine, and leaving on Friday, March 13th, returning Sunday March 22nd.  It's 27 hours straight thru taking turns, or take it easy  as Larry suggested and break it in halfs.  Wheel Monday- Friday, see the Vendors fair Saturday, and head back.  May take a day off during the week as well, just chillin. 

Who else is in?

[Will]

Are we talking 09 or 10?

2009 for me, about 6 months from now.  I have to save $5 a day until then just for gas.  ;D

Larry and Doug if you are going thru Mesquite Nv,let me know I have family there who could hook you up with a good home cooked meal.Moab and Kanab are both good rides and check out the lost ghost town while you are there.

I may be able to talk my dad into towing mine out there. The only way I could pay for gas would be to talk him into coming along. A few of you met him at Tellico in December. He's learned a lot since then.

I got a suburban ready to tow! Co pilot?
