http://www.lazylizardhostel.com/groups.php Get a group together and rent an entire house.
I can't believe I'll be hitting the road in just over a week. Where did the time go - I feel so unprepared! Jay & I are trying to figure out if our schedules work out so we can caravan. It will kinda suck if that doesn't work out when our starting points are only 15-20 miles apart!
OK, so my room situation has been resolved. Someone in the group is not going and privately offered me their room. I currently can't say who it is since they want to be able to announce this themselves...but nontheless my room is resolved.
The room I have has been booked for longer than I will be at Moab.
I will be at Moab MONDAY , TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY...leaving thursday morning/afternoon (I think).
The remaining time... I'm not sure what will happen, but I will talk with the person who offered me the room and work it out...
Just wanted to update you guys...
I"M GETTING EXCITED!!!!!!
:laugho: Tyler made it sound way more mysterious than it really is....Quote:

IF....IF I can swing it, I may be able to scoot out to Moab on Monday 5/11and stay for a night (maybe 2). It would be GREAT for my sanity to hang with the fam!!!
(Hey Ty, can we share those queen beds? :) )
Dave has to take care of our crew of furry children (and one scally one ! I got a baby beardie last month!! :laugho:) so we don't go broke on pet $itting.
So....my Red Rock reservation goes Sunday 5/11 through Friday night 5/16, checking out Sunday 5/17.
Tyler will be checking out Thursday 5/15.
That leaves SUNDAY NIGHT 5/11 AND THURSDAY 5/15 and FRIDAY 5/16 night available if someone needs/wants to take those reservations on room #124.
I canceled my reservation on wednesday on my way to the airport so they should have another room available. Wish I was able to make it and see everyone but a month in Italy was too good to pass up. See everyone next year!!!!
I have been sick the last couple days and burned the time off I needed to use for Moab. That plus not having anyone to go with (yes I know I'll have all my VX friends once I get there) means I'm going to have to skip this year...which makes me sad. I'm going to be so far behind on work come Monday...sigh.
I hope you all have a really awesome amazing time, and post lots of photos when you can!
Scrape a trailing arm on something impressive for me.
Dang it Tom and Sue. :( Going to miss y'all this year, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. We'll be sure to take lots of pictures (both on and off the trail) so you guys will feel like you're there.
I'm still working on it, think I can make it Monday for a night, maybe 2!Quote:

I want to keep the stock rims, I drive like my VX is a sports car and I NEVER EVER take it off road. I would like to have something that looks "cool" to match everything else but at this point, Im not sure what will happen.
I'm still coming to Moab, but I really need help!!!
Can someone point me in the direction of a cool looking tire, something that will look right but that can hug corners???
PLEASE HELP!!
I'm still coming to Moab, no matter what...
I started a new thread for this, just so the Moab thread is not filled with replies...
http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...threadid=25586
Any and all of you coming to Moab...
....please check the Moab Stickers thread
Let me know if last ones I posted are OK.
Not much time for alterations now...HOPE YA LIKE THEM !
And can someone with the T-shirt shop please!!
Jo
I got my event reminder last night... 5 Days until MOAB!!! :_beer: :dance:
As usual, I've found a nice list of things I still need to finish before Moab. Nothing too crazy but I'll be working on the VX everyday until Sunday. The goal is, NO WRENCHING on the Stoop this year. Yeah right. :rolleyes:
I'm arriving 05/15/14, and checking out 05/21/14. We'll be staying at Riverside Oasis RV resort.
I'm going to be driving up Sunday 5/11
Anybody going to be driving anywhere near my route that day? CARAVAN ANYBODY???
Jay when you passing thru the 4 corners area?
I'll be heading out from OKC Friday evening to get a few hours in and then on into Moab Saturday.Quote:

It's not in too bad shape, has one small area where it appears critters chewed on it a bit. Think it has a few fasteners still in it.
LET ME KNOW - I'LL BRING IT!
yesQuote:

I was hoping someone could help me really fix my window problem. I've done the "washer/spacer" thing on the regulator bracket, but it's still not right and I just can't figure it out.
I was also hoping to drive a couple other people's VXs that so that I can "feel" how they drive compared to mine. I just have some questions about the suspension and a few other things... but hopefully there will be some help available.
I am bringing with me a box of parts (screws, grommets, fasteners, etc.) so if anyone wants to know what to get or what to use (part numbers, etc.) for any of the restoration stuff that I've done, I"ll have it all with me. I will be able to help with anything related to exterior/body and interior with NO problem, but I don't know squat mechanically about the VX.
:)
Haha, you can drive mine but it is a completely different beast: 5 spd, HD torsion bars, rear locker, Lifted, and 33's it is not the same vehicle it was two years ago.Quote:

See ya there... :thumbup:

Oh yeah... and how did I forget this... a locksmith made a spare key for me (he's from another state and is not accessible now)...
The key is STUCK in the ignition. If anyone can bring the tools/etc. OR has the know how... it would be nice to get the key out. I would hate to leave the key in the VX and park it in Utah somewhere while I"m out with you guys onthe trails...
I will be drowning my sorrows in alcohol and whatever else.........Quote:

Still a lot of wrenching to do on my VX before I leave on Sunday. Radiator needs to be installed, blower motor isn't working and my dash is all torn apart and roof rack and spare tire still needs to be installed. Got a busy day on Staurday!
is the key broken in the ignition, or just stuck?Quote:

Good luck to everyone driving.....Be Safe!
BAH to both of y'all. I have a grueling, seemingly unending, three and a half hour drive on Sunday. :eek: I know, I know....don't hate.
Jamas, I don't know what your schedule is on Sunday, but there are a few VXers convoying over from Denver to Moab. I think that they are planning to leave around 10am (if not earlier) and will be picking me up in Glenwood Springs. Maybe PM Jon (VXorado) as I think he is organizing things.
Looks like Sunday is "Sit on stoop and watch the VX's roll in " day.
Oh very well..if I must :_beer:
I'm outta here :_steering
See ya all there :dance:
Jo
Sounds like the best kind of Saturday to me.
Can't wait to see old friends and new faces. :thumbup:
That would fit real nicely with my schedule. Tell me when and where. I will be there to Convoy in.Quote:

16 hours 35 min to departure!!!! See ya there!
Major winter storm is predicted for CO tonight and tomorrow.
10 - 20 inches of snow in the mountains and up to 8 inches in the Denver metro area.
Driving from Denver to Moab on Sunday could be very slow and dangerous.
You guys and gals drive safe and make good choices...:)

Safe travels everyone.
I am snowed-in in Wyoming today. Road closure miles and miles away. Pretty aggravating since the roads are not that bad where I am right now but after tonight they are going to be horrible! I anticipate further road closures throughout the evening and early morning. Lovely. Be safe folks!
