Oh yeah... his new toy (that replaced the FJ) is still a pretty well kept secret. I think only a few of us know what he got. So Jay, are you keeping it a secret 'til Moab?

but what does Screw Raptor mean???????????
Super Crew - it's misspelled in his profile (should be SCrew)
Nah, not so much a secret as I'm just lazy and haven't posted a pic.

Aww man, Jay... I can't talk crap on that ride! I dig the Raptors... much cooler than a Japanese bubble Hummer! You gotta give me a ride up Potato Salad Hill! :)
just put in today with my PTO for moab!!!
should have an answer back from the boss by the end of the week, then im reserving everything!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
Looks like no group sites (or any sites actually) at Portal until after Tuesday the 17th. Steve (Big Swede) and I are looking at sharing a spot a Pack Creek for the week. Neither of us really wants to set up camp twice. I will be there the 14th and he will be there the 15th.
YES YES YES OH MY GOD YES!!! I have actually seen that... from this Jeep from the time this photo shoot happened:

It evolved and was sold: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8769398
With portal being filled up it looks like I will probably be hitting up pack creek also. If anyone wants to split a camp site let me know. I will be arriving after noon on the 14th and leaving the morning of the 20th (sat-fri).
Big Swede and I will be staying at tent site 12 at Pack Creek.
Anybody have some trail suggestions yet? Todd what do you suggest?
5/17 - VX Only run - (oh, guess we aren't calling it this anymore)
The usual suspects? Top of The World, Hell's Revenge, Fins & Things, Elephant Hill, Kane Creek. I don't mind the same trails!
Is it time for Moab yet!?
I'm getting antsy.......I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go......
Can't wait to see the fam and hang out on the stoop. Highlight of my year.
Hmmmm....guess I should get to reserving a room.
whats the trail called where the jeep is shown flipping over
VXjunky, you might need to be a little more specific than that. There's a bunch of videos, of a bunch of trails, with a bunch of Jeeps flipping over.:biggringr
i think the caption was "how you destroy a jeep in 5 seconds" or there abouts...and it may have been in this thread...but definitely this site
I think that may have been the Hell's Gate obstacle on the Hell's Revenge trail. The picture in Billy's (triathlete) signature line is him heading up Hell's Gate.
yup, the video your referring to is on hells revenge, specifically the hells gate obstacle.
Hells revenge would be pretty intimidating for any newbies... although ill be happy to lead it any wed-sun for anyone who is interested.
I am hoping for Metal Masher this year!
Billy, Jack, I am so down for Metal Masher since I broke last time I was on it. It was my first time out with my green Jeep and I tried to scale a wall with an undercut. Found out the rear springs are way too stiff and that a 1310 u-joint is way too small for a D60 and 37"s. After a few attempts the last one stretched the rear axle yoke straps out. I fixed it best I could but broke a newly weakened strap trying the next wall so had to turn around. Redemption! Although I probably won't attempt Widowmaker more than once
ya, jo and i both got a little ways up rock chucker. then Jo tried widowmaker, but we found his broken shock half way up and stopped him.
i'd like to try both in the runner, i dunno if its possible without getting my rear bumper changed though. (my *** drags on everything)
well.........
I BOOKED MY ROOM AT THE STOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:
The stoop is gonna have another visit from the cops again it seems!!!! Lisa will flirt our way out of any trouble tho so no worries.
It's official now! Inspired by Jack's post, I just booked my room at Red Rocks for ZuZoo. :dan_ban: They gave me a discount (nothing huge, but much appreciated) for being a return customer.
Now I'm SUPER antsy and ready to head out to Moab.
Can we go, can we go, can we go........like NOW!?
quick question, don't see people's state on the yes list but any east coasters heading that way?
