Installing mods today as we speak.
I'll be there... Staying at LaQuinta Inn as this time I have to travel with the pups.
I'll be at the VX only run - so sorry I missed it last year...

Sorry to be a stupid noob, but where is it? Is this the famed Moab event that I keep hearing about? Sounds like lits of fun. I might go if I can get away from school and work for a week.
Geek...that would be the one...Moab Utah!
Biju...Now that you've got a few trails under the belt I'll expect no blisters! LOL
Regrets, will not attend this year...too many miles away and several important other life projects.
I just checked the official website...
'Zu Zoo, Inc.
There's nothing about an event this year. :_confused
I'm planning on making a road trip to the VX run this year.
Any suggestions for a good place to stay at (doesn't have to be real cheap).
Thanks.
ZuZoo IS happening this year. They are still ironing out the details and the website will be updated and ready to go. The organizers said it would happen no matter what...whether it was an "official" event or just a gathering. They have had to search for alternative insurance since the old insurer skyrocketed the price last year. The permit issue was resolved also.
Kenny...are you looking to camp or hotel it. Also most of the camp sites have cabins fro under $50 a night.
Any other 'Zonians going that want to caravan up? :_steering
I'm at about 80-85% sure I'll be going this year, also long time friend Jim is planning on being there with his Trooper.
Kenny, as time gets closer, get in touch w/ me if you want to convoy for a bit.
Though you should be aware, top end on a Ldub/Jim convoy is prolly only about 65 mph. (86 Troop diesel...poor bastard :razzgray: )
Ldub
I will be going again this year. Champ and I will be camping at the Portal.
Has anyone heard of where the VX Only Run is going to be?
Peace.
Tom
P.S.
Biju, what mods are you doing?
Tom,
Jooo have a PM.
Billy,
Regardless if the blisters from gripping the wheel were from fear or adrenaline (or both), it was an EXCELLENT experience for my first time ever off road. I can only hope I get them again this year ~ it would mean I had a great time!!!
-biju.
I'll try to be there. I'm moving to Pagosa Springs from south Florida in March/April and will hope to be situated by ZuZoo time.
I'm in. I'll have my pups too, so I guess I'll be calling LaQuinta and hangin' with biju. I've been to one of these before, but only as an observer. I can't wait to go as an owner.
Ldub,
I'm in. "Wagons ho!"
We'll be there with the Benz as tailgunner for the VX only run and then another trail the following day.
Randy,
Wow! Pagosa Springs is a great place to be. If I'm passing through the state this summer, I'm going to ring you up.
Peace.
Tom
Getting closer...who else will be going.
Looks like I am coming too. I am hoping the norcturnal will make it with me. If not there is a few people coming from mwior.com.
Couple of us is staying in Silver Sage Inn. I got a two bed room, but my other party may bail on me. If someone is looking for cheap accomodation for a week and doesn't mind sharing a room, pm me. The reservation is for May 14th through 21st, $325+tax for both beds. Comes down to something around $180 for whole week with comfy bed and shower. Any takers?
Looks like I will have to start to figure out what the VX only run is. :confused:
Todd
Swordy wasn't allowed to have his Jeep buddies tag along in the rear of our VX only run 2003 because "YOU" Tone threw a hissy fit and told them under no circumstances whatsoever ...but, you now expect to have your Mercedes tag along and you see no wrong??? That caused Swordy and Debby to not even go and ruined the spirits between alot of people at Zuzoo.
Nice, :rolleyes:
Do us the same favor that Swordy did and leave the un-VX's behind.
--Edited -- Swordy's wife tagged along last year in an Amigo --edited--. And his buddies weren't VXers remember? I am. --(was and still am by osmosis)--
Do I need to bring Lisa's so you'll be ok even though you --edited-- won't be there? I asked permission and what does this have to do with you anyway?
--Edited---
I edited it and I won't tollerate that kind of stuff.. You know that.
BTW... Deby was in her Amigo last year.. Play nice and don't use the site to crack on each other not even in PMs!!! :(
Scott
alright away from the stupid fighting...i will be there, camping somewhere...any coloradians wanna go send me a PM and we will set up a caravan...
I unfortunately won't be going this year. Choice between my Grandma's 90th birthday or Moab.. Guess which one won?? I'll be there in spirit though!
OK since this is my call as trail leader, It will no longer be called the VX only run. From here on out it is now the VX run! I should have done this long ago. Linda in her Jeep was on the first VX run. Debby, last year in her Amigo. Everyone stop bickering. We do this for fun, right? So if my daughter shows up in her XJ I will just make her get in the back of the bus with Tone :p
Todd
I don't know Scott. Missing a VX strapping a Benz could be priceless. OK we’ll take pictures. ;)Quote:

And if ya'll do NOT have to strap me, apologies will be in order as this is the same kind of talk peole have said about the VX. I have 10" of clearance, 350hp/375 lb-ft, 1st gear ratio 2.64:1, transfer ratio 3.09:1, axle ratios of 29.33:1, 26 degree approach/departure angle, (20 degree breakover), 80 degree climbing slope, hill decent control, can cross 20" water, and LOTS of experience. Wheelbase is about 18" longer though....
respect is earned not ordered :rolleyes:
No apologies...VX ONLY should be VX ONLY not some Mercedes in the hind light. Don't act like you are 2 and throw a tantrem. Any other day I wouldn't care what run I was on with you in whatever you were in.
sounds to me like you guys need to get over this whole vx only thing...why does it affect you if there is a mercedes BEHIND you? your not seeing it....its not changing how much fun you have....where you go...anything...why does it matter?
the same point that Tone made in 2003 ZuZoo. VX only means VX ONLY...not anything tagging behind, on, beside, or around.
So, he is a contradictory *** untill it fits his own motive...or...um..Benz. That is what the point is.
This is the who's going to MOAB post.
Again, you won't even be there - guess just more of your ramblings. A precendent was set (big word) over the past 2 yrs. Get over it - but it is hilarious that you can still whine about something that you weren't even there for - so keep on beating your chest based on info from someone else. And you're calling ME an SOB?
Come on Tone. A friend once told me that if you haven’t been on both ends of the strap you ain’t been wheeling. Besides I could care less about vehicle stats and all that. Last time out I winched a Bruiser that had tipped over in Prichett Canyon. (That’s a tube buggy built by Poison Spyder Customs if you didn’t know) I have had to take a strap plenty of times in both the VX and the Jeep. I can tell you that you would not have taken your VX or Benz where these situations took place (I just replaced the body on the Jeep due to multiple rollovers). You know I can pick a trail where almost everyone will require help. ;) We will see.Quote:

OK, point made. NOW DROP IT!
I go along with Todd...

Be there, Have fun, Go home smiling! No bitching allowed though.
VX only means VX only and nothing else will be alowed neither in front or behind. SO, he made the point. not me. and if I can I will be there again.
Don't think we'll be able to attend this year. The VX only run was fun last year thank you for letting me tag along in an ISUZU Amigo. (note...the only jeep friend I had there last year was Linda who would EASILY put a MB to shame)
I came home from a great weekend of 4wheeling to find this post with my name splattered all over it.. sooooooo
Spazz... thanks for the words, but we settled the argument last year on the VX only run when I truthfully stated in public with people standing around, I still have NOTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT HIM to his face. At least I was truthful. His lies, and changing of my words(because he was a moderator at the time) in my post on this website will forever sour his name. His no appology to me but stating there was one to "Swordy's wife" was unbelievable! MY NAME IS DEBY ! Then again he knew my name when he wrote that. Personally I would (and did), go out of my way to not see, or roll with him. My only suggestion is that maybe he should ride with the Land Rovers. Where they don't know him YET.
And darn it "y'all" I thought if you sold it you wern't one.
Man, ya know I'm a pretty mellow person til you bring up that name.
Have fun in Moab
the "Deby" in the posts who still is a proud co-owner of a KICK BUTT VX!
