ZuZoo dates now official...mark your calandars and be there!

[Triathlete]

ZuZoo's website has now been updated with the 2006 event info! Trail list and registration is not up yet but the dates are comfirmed and the basic info is there. So lets have a huge turn out of VX's this year! Woohoo!

So let me ask the question here. (I did on the ZuZoo site but am sure they are busy) Is it all about beating our rigs up off road? Not the least bit interested in doing that myself. Doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy hanging out, lifting a few jars, snapping a few photo's, sharing some idea's, what have you. is that cool. also, is there plenty of rooms? My idea of roughing it is waiting 15 minutes for room service or a motel 6.

The ZuZoo event will offer many different trails from which to choose- all with ratings of difficulty. You can choose what trails you wish to run on - difficult or easy. THe VX run that Todd leads usually is a more difficult run but very satisfying to test the abilities of our truck.

In the evenings Vxers as well as other Isuzu model owners get together at the local restaurants have dinner and hang out. The scenery is breathtaking (check out Scott's VX albums on Moncha.com), the chance to meet other Vx owners is great and the Trooper, Rodeo and Amigo folk are all good people to get to know.

Rowhard,
There are plenty of rooms in Moab so don't worry about roughing it. Also, there are plenty of trails out there with different ratings so you won't bang up the VX. In my opinion, and chime in if I'm wrong, but I would say any trail with a 3.5 rating will be challenging and fun with the potential of no damage to the stock VX. It all depends on the line you choose. No one goes out there to to do any damage to their beloved VX.

I can't think of anyone doing any damage to their VX if they followed that rule last year.

Peace.
Tom

P.S.
I'll be there again this year.

yep, the 3.5's and under are definately non-damage doable. The scenery is beautifull. Another option to camping is cabins at most of the campgrounds (have to reserve early). Most of the VXers there are not wanting to dodamage to their vehicles. Just don't follow me and you should be fine! Many bone stock VX's clad in street tires have survived some great trails. And if you might want to see some of the more difficult stuff you can always park the VX and find an open seat with some of the more hardcore guys. I know I for one will be looking to ride shotgun with anyone doing Helldorado!

Thought this might help a bit.



This page is put out by the Red Rock 4 wheelers (local 4wheel drive club of Moab)

This one has a list of trails and the ratings

(the white Isuzu Amigo throughout this website was owned and driven by a VX'r)

This one is put out by the Red Rock 4wheelers and it looks as though some of the ratings have changed. Pritchet is now classified as a 5 ;eekr; This one is for the Easter Jeep Safari, but as I understand it we use their permit.

Great links Anita. Will we be seeing you there this year?

I decided several years ago to retire my truck from Moab, mainly to keep the mileage down and to prevent any trail trophies. I have always been the more scenic driving kind of girl and not the gymnastic "lets see what this truck can do" off-road enthusiast. It was my personal challenge to go to Moab and I am very glad I did it. I wouldnt trade the experience for anything despite the minor irritations that occured. Everyone should go to Moab at least once. The event is put together by hard working folks that go out of their way to make it the success it is every year.

Amen Anita! I wish I could've gone the last two years, and REALLY hate missing this event for a third time. However, having participated in Zu Zoo V & VI (completely stock on 18" bling-bling rims & all-season street tires), I at least have those memories... have to live the Moab experience through others for now. I will get back out there, and I highly suggest every VXer viusit Moab at least one time to see what the VehiCROSS can do!

[Scott Harness]

I have decided to not go this year,wait a second, Uncle Sam decided I couldn't go this year. "Took my MOAB MONEY" There still might be a slim chance ,if business is really good. next year for sure.

We're shooting for this weekend. In the process of finalizing the development site, and we will see how it goes over the next few days. We will post up once things are golden.

Hmmm, now to decide which trails I want to play on this year!
