even you can wheel Moab =8-)

[fulsizjeep]

This picture is testimony that you can get a stock Waggy not only on the trails in Moab but back home again too. :D I imagine Michel (Letank) travelled farthest from San Francisco to join in the great fun with Gambler68, BRUTUS, DesertBeast, Blt2krl, Kennyh, Srobertsfsj, Shimniok, Mistifire, Jeepstress and myself. :thumbsup: I wonder where Viscasha was though...:confused:

[Jeep4myBoys]

Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like a great time!

Is that your new 401 p/up on Steel Bender, Flint?

[fulsizjeep]

Thanks!
a-hem... THAT is Krista's new Jtruck. :cool:

:hide: Sorry Krista! Looked great on the trail, either way!

Thats cool, Timothy! It handled great, but it was vastly different from wheeling my Wagoneer. It is longer, wider, and despite the lift, it had lots of stuff to hang up underneath. I'm glad I drove her, but I'm gonna stick to wheeling my Wags from now on.

NICE pics flint!

we need more of this and less Bob(bing) LMAO-

anwho- i dont want Jason getting a big head and all, but Brutus looks gooooood out there.:thumbsup:

[Ralph Rogers]

Wow. Looks like a blast Bro. Too bad it's all the way up there. Can't do Ouray and Moab both.

Don't think mine meets the qualifications at the moment. Seems to be a gap between the output of the engine to the input of the QT somewhere...

So, it's going to donate it's engine to Colleen's 88 (Colleen hasn't been released to 4wd status from the Doc yet, hip replacement, y'know), and it's off to the engine swap!

Hopefully, the Doc will clear Colleen soon and we can wheel the waggie some.

It's not just wicked looking.... it is WICKED PERIOD! Krista got it all on video... I hit my front diff square on a rock and chipped some powdercoat off the diff cover. I hit my front spring hanger and scraped the bottom of the 14bolt in two different places on rocks. This was the obstacle that broke both motor mounts and the tranny mount. I was the only full sheetmetal body FSJ to attempt/conquor it. I don't think I would have made it without Paul spotting for me. Thanks again Paul :beer:

[Jeepstress]

I have the vid, Jason, but its huge. I need to edit it, or maybe I'll just post it up in all its gnarly glory................

[BRUTUS]

I ahve the vid, Jason, but its huge. I need to edit it, or maybe I'll jsut post it up in all its gnarly glory................

You can email it to me and I will host the raw files.

[Jeepstress]

You can email it to me..............

HAHAHHAAAHAHHAAHAHAAAAAHAHAAAAAAA!:lol:

I can host it. I'll see if I can get it up today.

[BRUTUS]

HAHAHHAAAHAHHAAHAHAAAAAHAHAAAAAAA!:lol:

What's so funny? It will take just as long to upload it via FTP as it would to email it. I have unlimited hosting... :D

Note to self: move out west as soon as possible

Awesome pics. Moab is a place I really wish to visit within the next few years, preferebly several times. If I moved out there, it would certainly be a lot easier.

[SteelHorse]

I'm so jealous.

One day I hope I can get out there.

circleing of the wagons was way kewl:thumbsup:

Our break lines did ok but we do have some cracks in the body now from the flexing :thumbsup:

[letank]

I felt like staying for a little more while..... Parking the wagoneer, flying out and coming back later.

Flint and Krista, thanks for the great memories.

Still need to download those videos from the tape... will do now...

[Stuka]

Awesome photos! Seeing the two FSJ buggies next to each other is great.

[wickedwagon767]

I'm going to make it Moab within the next year if it kills me

Michel, It was soo wonderful to have you with us! I really enjoyed our dinners together and watching you pilot that beautiful stock wag where others feared to tread! Please come back east and visit with us again soon!

[JpX]

Really good photo's. Seeing Jason's truck with the high lift jack kind of makes me want to route my exhaust straight up out of the be with a single pipe. I really like the finesse used in the Golden Crack video.

I am kind of curious if there is a story behind this picture though.????

It looks like a great spot to park and all but I'm guessing there's something more going on.

lmao either some one really had to wizz,or someone blew a radiator hose!
either way it was done with a hose:D

I was low on tranny fluid when we got here and did not know it. About 2/3 of the way up, the tranny went out of gear and had to back it down. I was digging out a quart of ATF in this photo. The fluid stain on the rock was there before we arrived. Honest! :cool:
