That's funny...even more so since I just watched that movie a week or two ago.

"I think you've had enough"

:smilewink

I was trying to stay away from the fart angle, but knew I could count on you guys to bring it.

So dogs are not a problem unless you don�t trust them next to overhanging cliffs :eek:.

Just the trails in the parks aren't doggie friendly.:sighwgray

Thanks, just remember Eric saying something about it. Hate for her to get down there and have to leave her co-pilot in the room

MAN...has anyone else noticed how fast time is going by the closer we get to "zero hour"???

I've still got a bunch of wrenchy:_wrench:wrench type projects to get done & I'm starting to get a bit ummmm, queasy.:rolleyesg

I'm guessing that I've got about a 50-50 shot at getting the locker installed...the open carrier should show up this week & I have yet to order a set of bearings, shim set, crush collar(?)...guess the crush collar wouldn't be necessary, unless the pinion needs to be shimmed.

Anyone with any further gear related ideas or parts I've overlooked, please post em' up.
I'm gonna be calling Mr. Merlin next week.

Thanks Billy, but I hate to bother Matt with stuff like this, I know he's a busy guy & his business is expanding all the time.

I've got a few emails off to a few wheelin' buds that have tinkered with gears & installed lockers before, have picked Zeus's brain a bit, talked to Strawmeyers on the phone, & have one or two local mechs who ARE experienced, in mind for the set up. I'm tryng to find one that'll let me help, so I can learn how to do it right.:_wrench:
I have the factory instruction manual that details gear set up, but don't have any experience in tearing into the third member & diddling with all the thingies & dingles contained within...also don't have a dial gauge or hydraulic press.
I'm pretty sure I could install the locker itself, but gear setup is crucial to get right the first time...& I don't wanna be the one to screw it up.:smilewink

I've been trying to convince him to go. But he doesn't wanna drive. I drove him last year. He's a trucker and doesn't want to spend his vacation time driving, i guess... understandable. And I think he may be short on vacation time too...

I will just leave her in the room when we go out on trails... she won't mind. Thank for looking out for me and my doggy though. Thanks for looking out for me though.

29 days, 13 hours till the start of the VX run!!!!!!:cool:

I updated my response to include what I'm bringing to the pot luck dinner, and I'm adding this to ramp up the excitement a bit more...

Well is there any other specifics that any one wants so we can chip in to the pot luck?

Seems like there will be lots of grub so far... Any other beverages that any one wants?

Yeah, I was a little slow on the uptake on this potluck deal too, any chance we can get a list of what's still needed or some recommendations on what to bring?

How about some deviled eggs (for a nice, hot sulphury seepage), raw cabbage (for power), some really cheap beer (adds wetness), Bush's baked beans (no explanation necessary), a tuna casserole (to give the impending cloud a pungent, fishy tinge), and like 25 bags of McDonalds French fries. Oh yeah, and a case of Charmin Double Roll.

Since this is Linda's deal and we have a list started I will put her to work. In other words I will post a list (provided vs needed) soon.

Jolly Roger VX'er = Greg Nofsker (just me....no guests....first timer to Moab!)

If not......I'll look for your upcoming list to see what you still need.

Trying to be helpful..

I had this list on my fridge for things to do for Moab last year.
Guess I should update it and put it on again.
Maybe some others can get use out of it - and others can add items.

>>edit<<
Seems I might be scaring some people in this being a "must have" list... sorry. It's not.
I'm one of those "be prepared for anything" guys. I hate to put others out.
- However, last year there was probably 8 or 9 trucks and one of us opened up their differential and only one of us had axle lube.
- Oh, and I remember someone needing to top off their brake fluid, and again only one of us had that. Or maybe only one person was willing to share...??:) - So relying on others has its limits - I'd still suggest bringing one or two consumables (oil, lube, water, TP, etc..)

And man, tire deflators are worth every penny!
Example - http://www.rockcrawler.com/techrepor...tors/index.asp

Ummmm....... no need to get to crazy and buy things you might not need. For those that haven't been here, Moab is a "regular" town.... indoor plumbing, hot and cold running water, two grocery stores, 4 auto parts stores, two micro-breweries.

There should be a Wal-Mart coming soon too. :mad:
04/22/2008, 09:24 AM
VXIRONwoMAN

For the other newbies... You don't HAVE to have all the items on that list. I am sure others will be willing to share... say a tow strap, a tire gauge, tire deflaters... if you need the FRS Radios I have a spare set, but I suggest if your buying a radio set go for the CB radio instead.
