Reno > Moab Convoy?

You should be able to find another stock rim on eBay or at least an Isuzu rim of the same size.

Also, a 16 x 7 jj rim from a Honda Passport has the same dimensions (offset etc.) as our stock wheel, though different outward appearance. I scored one at a local salvage yard & there WERE three more there. Lemme know if you want me to check.
Sorry for the OT, just throwin it out there.

Clint, this certainly might be a good way to go, then you just need a decent used tire of the same size and you are set!

Yeah, a full size spare would be handy, but honestly, you could get away without it if you need to. There will be enough of us there that if something happens, we should be able to get you out. Either way, it wouldn't hurt. You should be able to find another stock rim on eBay or at least an Isuzu rim of the same size.

I just bought two military jerrycan holders and I have an idea for how I want to mount them to my roof rack. I have a few other minor, pre-Moab mods to complete and I *might* (depending on money) try to do a 1.5" lift before then.

Not sure yet, but I just got my time off approved!!

w00t!

Yeah I put in my req form and it should be approved no prob.

Good info, I may be able to find one around here. I really want to invest in a new set of rims but I doubt I can before the trip.

Since the first time I went to Moab, I've never applied for a job without the understanding that I wouldn't be there for a good portion of the month of May. Wether I have vaca. coming or not.

Ya gotta have your priorities straight.

Oh, I will get the time. I got plenty of PTO, about 80 hours.

The only prob now is money. The 1200 we have to pay in taxes doesnt help that line

Yeah, I hear ya. The only real expenses are gas and lodging. Figure gas for 1400 miles (that's round trip) plus a little more for Moab. Find a decent cheap hotel for a few nights and camp the rest and that should make it about as cheap as you can get. I'm gonna go this route myself because hotel expenses can really add up.

I want camp Great Basin one the way there and on the way back, and possibly camp 2 nights in Moab, leaving only 3-4 hotel nights. Linda is not as fond of camping as I am, but I guess the Portal campsite has hot showers and stuff, so hopefully she can deal. Honestly, I am almost as excited to camp as I am just be in Moab. Great Basin is a gorgeous park. Hopefully we can squeeze some trail hikes in. I can't wait.



How much camping gear do you guys have? Do you have a tent? Sleeping bags? Etc? I probably have some stuff I can lend you if you need anything, just let me know.

Anyway, all stuff we can talk about during our next meet up.
