    Not to be a Moab Buzz killer!

    Would it be fun just to road trip and check out all the other Vxers? What I mean is that my VX is really not equipped for the terrain, but would still like to hang out and party w the bretheren! Ive got Yoke 285/60s and I usually never off road (other than slippin and slidin in the St. Louis snow).
    Thanks,
    StL. Sot (go Cardinals '05)

    Sot,

    My husband and I will be in two different 4x4's this Moab trip. Although his VX is rock ready, my Amigo is a mere starter 4x. My daughter and I plan on taking the lighter trails, and skipping a day of offroading to do shopping in the town.

    Is it worth going even if you don't offroad? OH YEAH! There is no feeling in the world like entering a hotel parking lot and seeing most of the vehicles are VX's. Sorta feels like you belong. Not everyone goes on trails everyday. Then again, some trails are longer than others so people leave and get back at different times. If, you're just interested in mods.... this is the place to be. Several of these folks have custom mods and are more than willing to share stories.

    The other option is come on out and sit shotgun with a fellow VX'r or other Isuziod. You can find a ride on any trail, usually without a problem. If you know how to take pictures, that's even better. Find a ride on Pritchet, Moab Rim, or Golden Spike and bring home pucker memories!

    BUT YA GOTTA GO!

    If I come to Moab do i need a CB radio? I would prefer to buy something like a Garmin Rino 130 walkie-talkie with GPS.

    CB are more than welcomed! If you have a guide like Todd Adams, YOU WANT a CB. Todd doesn't just show you the trail, he tells you in detail over the CB. I have enjoyed every single trail we've ever been on with Todd. (I can mention here that his wife, daughter and dog are awesome trail companions!) CB's can warn of a hazard ahead. If you go without one, you will be placed in the midst of wheelers with one.

    LOL... if you're on a trail without one with me.... I'll just talk to you through my PA system on my CB

    Do a lot of people run CB's down there? We normally just use FRS? FMS? radios, real cheap and can be found anywhere. Not enough people have CB's to do trail runs with them. If you haven't experienced a trail ride with radios and an experienced wheeler you haven't gone trail riding. It just makes it that much more fun, able to raz people when they are stuck on something or you can point out things others may not see etc. etc. all from the comfort of your driver seat. Everyone is always informed of what's going on, it's not just follow the leader.

    Scott, I'll be talking to you with my Garmin 120 GPS. T

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but can't you put the same frenquency on your walkie- talkie as the CB?

    Peace.
