WOOOOOOW you all !!!! That view is freaking AWESOME... ARE YOU KIDDIN ME????

OH MAN...I love nature and that view is juuuuust breathtaking. WOW...

So I DEFINITELY am going off road with someone lol, and the longer off road, the better for me... I've never been, I love outdoors, and I love VX's and have NEVER seen more than 2 in the same place at the same time. I've also never been around more than 2 or 3 VX enthusiasts at the same time. So this trip is going to blooooooow my mind I'm sure

Yea, an easy trail would be a great idea just to get everyone together and have some awesome pics together... I'd like to stay for a few days, make it a little vacation for me. I also LOVE camping and have ALL the gear... and have always thought about taking the VX off road, out in the cut into no mans land (or at least far enough away from technology that you don't see the "city lights") and camping for a day or 2. Does anyone do that? I know about getting a room, and I probably will for the first night, but the next couple of days I would like to go camping, out in the cut.

Getting excited about going...

Yeah, the views are just breathtaking, can see now how it draws so many of us back year after year, from far and near!

I'd never seen more than 2 VXs together, so when we get these things lined up, I just go picture crazy! On the distant pic, I dropped back and waited until the line up was far enough away that I could get them and the rock formations in the same pic, it's sooooo much fun to see a line up of VXs.....which sadly I will not be part of this year, but I'll still enjoy seeing it and snappin' pics!

The only thing that could make it even better....would be to have the VX02 there

hey wait a sec... Could the VX02 make it through the obstacles just the same as a stock vx? I know the rear is empty, but other than that, is it basically a stock vx... or even better with some "extras" that would make it better off road than stock?

IMO...

....the VX02 would fall apart.

The hidden 'structure' holding the back together ....
....would barely survive California potholes!!!

Really??? Oh man .... that is such a let down. I love the look of it (although the interior is still "dated" to me)... it's a shame...I had no idea

What about the VX04 or the XU-1... do you know if they were "real" or not? I've always wanted to know...

On a side note, I've always dreamed and dreamed about having the same exact doors on my vx that the XU-1 has... I've even went as far as looking into the cost... and of course I decided not to. Way to much involved.

[tysamigo]

I was just thinking... has anyone thought about ALSO doing a Moab Calendar OR some other type of Memorbilia using pics from Moab? I would love to have something like that to hang on my wall and at my desk

I didnt examine the VX04 too closely...

....was more interested in checking out the VX02!

But, the quick look I did give the VX04 would suggest its more structurally stable...
....maybe someone looked closer than I did..and can comment.

The VX02 is basically held together under the back cover , by a very flimsy
'web' of square tube. (There are pics somewhere on here!)

As for the XU-1...never seen it..but like it

There are a couple of owners that have modified their doors in a similar way to the XU-1..
....... either Russian or Japanese..or both!.. IIRC.
