Will anyone else be out this year?
-
1st stop Phoenix @oscarmike
-
Not going this year. Although it seems like a great event, too many people for my liking. Saw a post on FB about the line being 51 Jeeps long. For obstacle after obstacle ride, that would take FOREVER!!!

Exactly man. My first EJS was my last for this reason. Hanging out is cool and all but I am there to wheel and not wait for a bunch of mall krawlers to start freakin out on a 15% side slope on cliffhanger... //LMAO// remember that Doug!? I literally broke out of line and dusted out of that trail ride. I had enough of sitting and watching for 45mins to get 2-3 jeeps out. Trails that would be done in under an hour (moab rim) where taking ALL DAY! Not worth it if you are there to wheel. But I can check it off my list //OLDSKOOL//
-
Actually it doesn't take forever and there is a lot to watch but it is the experience, and is great if you've never been. 50 is the limit plus staff. I'm riding Pritchetts Thursday with our friends that are leading the ride. .
No, I mean I'm coming to phoenix. Over Oklahoma now.

Uh, your forever and mine must mean two different things... like you being broke and me being broke //LMAO// //LMAO//

Just being in town for Safari and seeing the Jeeps, Jeeps engineer builds, the vendors, raffle, swag, etc is all worth the trip.

I sure hope you don't have anywhere near 50 rigs for Pritchetts. That would be one loooooong day.
Tell Gary Lee that Hayden and I working on the plans now to be out there after his graduation next May.
-
Tony, I may plan a trip at that time as well. A little over a year from now I should have some calm in my schedule to allow it //;D//

I am waiting for Hayden's school to give me his graduation ceremony date and then I'll start the 2016 Moab thread.
-
Sounds good. I need to get back out there. Never wheeled on the new axles and 35's out there... should make it a new experience.

Ben. It only gets wilder for you from here with 5.
Will do Tony. We need Scott and Eric here to move us through! Going to be a long windy cold day. The worst conditions.
-
5... just a number. It's enough time before that ride that I can start hinting it around and be a bit more settled with our new daughter. But I won't go unless I get a tow //:o//

@Doug
Jealous! Moab twice in a matter of months. It's like you are pre running Pritchets for May //cheers2//

Larry and I did that upper section of Helldorado. We weren't sure if we were still on a trail or going the right direction. It just kept getting more narrow.
That project Lockjaw 715 looks awesome!

I want to in on that trip. Wish I was in on the 2015 trip too, just much to much to complete before then.
-
Yes Larry. Get your rig together and lets Roll! I miss BFE BAD!!!

I figured you would. I know it will be way early but I'll be putting up a thread shortly. Planning Moab ahead of time is important...at least to me.

And me

Planning way ahead is important for me too. Hopefully this one will be feasible for me. I'd love to have a cage in for the ride.

I'm so excited

That looks more like Potato Salad hill than Pasta Jays...

Change of plans. ...
I drove the entire day in EZ Over, no assist.
Yep, it has a clutch.

Where was Gary?
He's got a super low crawl ratio though if I remember correctly.
-
Double cases so somewhere around 6:1. But no power so it's rpms or bog. Toyota 22re. My right leg knocks the shifter out of gear and the left leg hits the door and steering wheel so it's tough for me on the incline stops. No toe heel possible. No ebrake.
Gary and Melissa spotted all day and I pulled the rig up. She rode in that JK some and with others some. Her tail shaft broke earlier before I arrived.
