Moab question

[Todd Adams]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the one exception to the full size spare the VX's spare? I remember this conversation before in previous years.

I think they let you get by with a tire plug kit, but if you are running stock tires a full size spare is a very good idea. I think there were a few ruined tires last year. (road hazard is good to get)

[/QUOTE]If you're new to offroading Hints to Moab Zu.

1) If Grandpa Bob or Swordy are in the line to go out on a run...... You're probably in the wrong line.
2) If the leader has been featured in Peterson's Ultimate offroad adventure..... You're probably in the wrong line.
3) If the truck in front of you has a sticker that reads "Body Damage is Cool"..... You're probably in the wrong line.
4) If every truck in line except for yours has tires taller than your truck...... You're probably in the wrong line.
5) If trucks in line have exo roll bars (could be same as #2)...... You're probably in the wrong line.
6) If they say,"this is the line for Pritchet, or Helldorado"..... You're probably in the wrong line.
7) If most of the vehicles in line are missing their doors.... You're probably in the wrong line.
8) If most of the trucks have SEVERE body damage before running the trail...... You're probably in the wrong line.

Anyone else have more to add?[/QUOTE]

9) If the rig has comp stickers such as UROC, ProRock, WERock etc. You may be in the wrong line.

[/QUOTE]Todd... didn't I read an article you wrote about how to prepare for Moab? That might be useful over here.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Todd. It was the first one that I remember, but they are all good.

Here is a link I found doing a general search for Moab trail ratings.

The Metal Masher link has a really nice white Amigo in a picture. Hmm who might that be?

Not all the trails will be opened for the event, but this link sorta gives you an overview of the Moab trails.

And yeah, I agree don't follow trucks with comp stickers. (Especially shy away from Red Jeeps with a woman rock crawler in it. I watched her "one wheel" it on Moab Rim. She could have killed her spotter..... who was that anyway?)

My son now is owner of that Amigo. It may be down for 'ZuZoo at least he is planning on it.

As for the incident you describe I really don’t remember it. I am sure I was clearly out of the way. The Jeep has been over 7 times since you last saw it so it is a bit worse for wear. I only received a few minor injuries this year but Linda received some broken ribs at the last event. Believe it or not we are going to compete again this year. Just goes to so you that wisdom does not necessarily come with age.

Tom,
Gemini Bridges are just off the county graded road. Some trail leaders take you there as part of a trail. Could be Gold Bar Rim 3+ or Metal Masher 4. It depends on the leader and how much time there is at the end of the day. It is easy to find with signs leading the way off of the pavement but I would go with someone that has been over them before to get the right line. It is a very dangerous place and I haven't been there since a kid I knew drove off. (NO KIDDING!) He was having trouble with his brakes.
