Hello friends! I will be leaving WA state on 05/17/16, and arriving in Moab on 05/18/16. Were going to stay thru 05/22/16, and then visit the grand canyon after the Moab event ends. I'll be staying at the Slickrock Campground this year, and my son and I will probably do another Slickrock Bike Trail visit. ;0) Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Thanks!
Hi, Kat. I'm driving a Wrangler this year, just to be different (from most of you folks, not from the majority of 4x4 enthusiasts). It'll be good to see you again.
One question. Wi-Fi? And yes, I'm a brain-addled internet addict.
Wi-Fi at the motel?
Thought you weren't going?
I'm military. I can't predict my own future. Erring on the side of caution and going to reserve something, just in case.
Hotels and camp grounds have wifi however it can be very slow (downloads are usually okay but uploads can take eternity).
I am looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting new people, it is less than 2 months away now so I am going to need to get busy on the VX and get it in top shape so it is ready for the trails.
We had WiFi at the Apache last year, it was not great but worked OK, I cannot speak for the campsites and other hotels in the area.
let's hope the military changes your plans again and you CAN attend....would be great to have a fellow purple enthusiast!Quote:

Can't wait to see all the Zu fam again.
I just got my 4.77s with ARB lockers yesterday so I need to get them installed and the hitch. I also need to fix the leaking power steering hose and find the elusive pinhole coolant leak.
I will be there even if I do not get all the stuff done.
Congrats, you'll love the lockers!!! Let me know if you need any help with the ARBs, I just set-up and installed a new ARB in the rear axle after my last one grenaded itself internally.Quote:

I'm gearing up for Moab and have almost all of my projects finished already... first time ever! Last year I was wrenching on the VX until midnight the night before departure.
With lockers you can do Golden Spike! :D
I do need help installing the lockers otherwise I will have to take it to a shop and hope they do it right. I will text you and we can set something up.Quote:

The coolant leak is elusive because it does not drip from anywhere so I put same dye in to see if I can find it, I can smell it and at high altitude it will cavitate so it is getting air in the system and leaking somewhere but we cannot see the leak.
I got the hitch on yesterday, that was a lot more work than putting one on the Trooper was.
We shall see, I might try it.Quote:

Apparently I won't get back until after the 25th of May, so looks like I won't be around at all. Bummer.
I did put some die in the cooling system, then using a black light I could see a small puddle under the intake, so now at least I know where the leak is I should be able fix it before Moab.Quote:
