Moab 2012 - April 17 - 19

15" rims on 8 lug axles - I dunno. Those ford HP D44's have some MASSIVE dual piston calipers that you would have to grind on to fit 15's. I run 17" rims so I don't have to worry about it.

I sure hope you make it - would be nice to have someone to roll with. I dunno how many trips the 'ole J10 has left in her. She's been rode VERY hard and put up VERY wet

We reserved a camping spot there too. Won't be there until Wednesday night though.

Is anyone doing any repairs/mods to their rigs for this trip?

I am

Posted a thread over in the offroad section that I need to update. Building a rear traction bar. We just got done welding in new spring perches because the old ones were SHOT. Bent all to heck. Also replacing the rear disk pads and greasing the rear wheel bearings. The rear is also getting new diff oil. I inspected the 5.38 gears and detroit and they all passed. No chunks of metal and no cracks Gotta love the trusty 14 bolt.

Also planning to get some new front shocks. I'm thinking about some bilsteins with remote reservoir if funds allow.

Other than that, doing some engine tuning and will go over the rest of the assembly to see if anything else needs work....

3.5 weeks to go

[phisohex]

[Blake]

Two weeks away!

Do we have a headcount on who's going?

[pass45]

I will be there and we should try to figure out what trails where running as a group so i know what trails not to run when i'm waiting for the rest of you slackers to show up

[Blake]

I'd like to run pritchett canyon if anyone else will run it with me.

[fulsizjeep]

I am not up for Pritchet yet. You and Jerry should have the right rigs for that action.

I plan to be there but it may be Thursday night instead of Wednesday. Now switching to near panic prep time...

[pass45]

I dunno - never ran Pritchett. It sounds pretty tough though.

I used to run a set of 42" IROK BIAS on the J10. They drove fine once warmed up and 'round'. Took A LOT to balance them though.

I'll be towing my little trailer with my street bike on it behind the J10 on 42's. Will be towing another J10 cab back with me

[pass45]

I need a hydraulic assist then it would be fine but I ran out of money imagine that I own a jeep

[fulsizjeep]

Will be towing another J10 cab back with me

Sorry, but I won't be able to get that cab to Moab.

[Blake]

Sorry, but I won't be able to get that cab to Moab.

Yeah, I figured.

I'm planning on picking it up on the way back. PM me on here or on FB the address to where it's at and let me know what day is best for me to come get it.
