    PHO2GR4,

    Something's been bugging me about you.

    Which are you: a photographer, or a Vietnamese guy who likes to eat Pho?

    OK, after watching some of that stuff on YouTube, I can safely say, with no shame, call me whatever you want, there are some thing I will simply NOT do.....maybe if I had a 2nd VX...

    lol - I agree. but don't let some of that keep ya from zu. plenty of good spotters and some gumption - *poof* - an instant high and a lifetime of good memories.

    Thumbs up

    Beej is right...when the time comes, just sign up for the "tamer" trails, (3.5 or less)& go have fun.
    On a lot of obstacles (not all), there are alternate routes that go around the gnarly section...last spring I took the E-Z trail on more than one occaision, & nobody called me any bad names (least wise, not to my face).
    My attitude was that I was there to "test the waters", see what it's all about & have fun.
    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED...everyone there, is there to do the same & very supportive of "first timers" & will go out of their way to help out a VX bro. or sis.
    It's like going to a family reunion that you actually enjoy, except with family you've never met before & can't wait to see again next year.
    Sorry for the off topic rant...

    Well, hopefully we can get the VX only run date nailed down, because most likely this will be the only day I can stay. I probably can only take like 2 or 3 days off work. I'm not really sure yet. I'm contract to hire right now, and if I get hired my start date would be something like March 1st, which isn't going to afford me much vacation time by May, but we'll see. The sooner I know the confirmed date for the VX only run, the betta.

    There is some stuff I just won't do also....but I'm still trying to find it
    Testing the waters...



    From the official mouths at ZuZoo this year...
    ZuZoo may or may not be an "official" event however come the 3rd weekend of MAY 2007 there will be people in Isuzus wheeling in Moab. The official thing stems from the insurance issues.
    Unfortunately I won't be there in '07. Have to save some vacation time for when I qualify for Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii!
    '08 I will be back though! Hopefully with more armour for some of the "funner" trails!

    From the 4x4Wire...ZuZoo will be May 16-19 (VX run on the 15?). The new host campground will more than likely be Arch View Resort

    ehem... JEEP! Come on, you knew it was coming!

    In other news... by May, I just may have dual air lockers AND 33's as well as sliders! Yes, in the VX! It seems as though I need to pull my front axle... AGAIN...! If so, I am just going to add the ARB this time and save $$$ for the rear ARB and the compressor. I should be able to swing that by May. Tomorrow night, I take my VX to Rocky Road Outfitters so they can prototype some sliders and give them to me!! I'll let everyone know about them Saturday when I get my ZEUS back. 4.77's, sliders, skids, 33's, dual selectable lockers... might as well find a lower geared transfer case... how mad would you guys get if I threw RUBICON stickers on my VX fenders??? j/k

    Wow, very nice indeed. Did you have the white top painted or are these coming with the option to have the white top painted to match? I love the all black look (of course). This FJ is the first one I have seen that I can say I actually like!
