You got in such good shape. Walking to the pay phone to call a tow truck?Originally Posted by Triathlete
Yep, like TR said many have come and done just fine in stock VXs. Scott (Moncha) is a great example. Just pick your trails wisely and follow someone equally equiped so you can see what lines work. Don't follow me and you will be fine (yep, I'm the guy that usually goes the way they say not to!). Hope you make it...you definately won't regret it.

Nah...I have 3 well used tow straps!
But my VX has always driven off the trail and home under its own power. Haven't broke anything other than dents in skid plates right wwhere they belong!

"Knobby" tires aren't really needed in Moab, you are driving on sandstone bedrock for the most part. My tires at Moab 2010 were into the wear bars but it was never a handicap. Larger tires for ground clearance are nice but not required.

Okay, First off, you live in Denver, so you can actually pull off a long weekend trip. Driving from Chicago, that could never happen with me. Second,The first year I went, I had a bone stock Ironman that I didn't want to ever hit a trail. That year my first trail ever (I had never, ever, ever been off-roading of any sort) was Elephant Hill, 2nd was Hell's Revenge, third was Fins and Things and I know I did more...but those are the three I remember. Almost every obstacle has a bypass and no one is out there to wreck there VX. It is most of our daily driver's and our ride home...
Petos went to Moab in low profile street tires and 20" bling rims! I think you'll be fine.
Even if you just hang out at the stoop and check out the scenery it is worth going. If I were you I wouldn't miss it. When I moved from the West Coast to Chicago I made it a point to stop through Moab. It's that cool!

Regardless of wether or not you go on any trails (which as others have stated, you can in a stock VX), you should go. Not only is Moab extremely beautiful and picturesque, which is a good time in itself, you will have an absolute blast being there with all the other VXers and Zus. And, if you plan, you can go on the cheap and camp at The Portal with other Zu freaks so really you would just be paying for gas, food, and nominal camping fees!
DO IT.

Moab 2012..................Hmmm you guys have just planted a seed in my mindA damn long way to go without my own suz or VX for that matter, but I have a feeling it would still be worth it.

Yeah, I've been twice, and I would go every year, save for the fact that I only get 2 weeks off a year (but I will be at 3 weeks in 2012) and it always fall the week of my anniversary, making it hard to convince my wife to go every year. Well worth it. And in 2012, it will be the last Moab ZuZu anyhow, so I kinda NEED to go.

Hell, I wouldn't be too surprised to see PK (from Tasmania) there in 2012, if you came from SA, that would make it even MORE international than usual, as we can always count on Kenny & Donna (from Canada eh) to qualify us for the title of "international meet".
Sez you...Well worth it. And in 2012, it will be the last Moab ZuZu anyhow, so I kinda NEED to go.
I think that if the Mayans really had their poop in a group, they would still be around selling trinkets to tourists...
And if it's the zombie apocalypse you're worried about, I plan on bringing the FULL arsenal with me in 2012...just in case...

Impi, I am 100% positive you can find an open seat with your name on it every day...and you can always go to the dark side and rent a jeep or atv from one of the many rental places there.

Let's not forget our UK brudders too! I have a hunch one day we'll see CrotchRocket make an appearance in Moab!

All this discussion makes me wonder if we shouldn't designate 2012 as our first "International VX Meet." Remember last year when we were talking about a first-ever national meet? Maybe if we plan this a year and a half out people could start saving money/vacation to make it happen.
Just a thought.
