THE OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL 2009 MOAB ZUZOO PICS and STORIES THREAD!

[nocturnalVX]

Can't say much more than what has already been said. Being in Moab is the best. Seeing all the VXers and other Isuzu fanatics ROCKS! The scenery is amazing. It blows my mind every year I go. Even with the "carnage" I wouldn't want to miss a single year. Scott Harness made a comment about the VXes getting thrashed, and I would have to agree with him. I would rather do easier trails, than beat up my baby. Don't be surprised if we show up with a tricked out AxirooperodeomigoCROSS in the coming years. Thanks to all the spotters, wrenchers, trail leaders and tailgunners. Cece and I are going to go out and wash my VX. We will take some pictures of the trail trophies. The exhaust was fixed in Denver, but is still not 100%. So maybe we will have to get 2 new exhaust systems . One for him and one for her! I think the Chicago rust played a key role in the failure of the exhaust flange and bracket. Be thankful if you're not in the rust belt.

Miss Moab already... Hey Harness and Dub, when does the commune open?

Is there any other kind of Jeep?

Two of the many sights that I saw and enjoyed seeing

John (rowhard)! You just made my new wallpaper. It’s good to see everyone made it home safe. Chris (Marlin), sorry to hear you received more battle damage. But it just sounds like part of your master plan to make the meanest Proton out there. I have the perfect name for it when it’s finished, “Scar”.

LOL, my F-I-L calls it "Rumble Bumble". Looks like a bumble bee and it rumbles, but scar is way cooler. I will be done with the new bumper in the 4-6 weeks, then it will definitely look like Mad Max style. I will also be bed linering (I know, not a word) the front of the hood and fenders, no more rock chips and touch up paint............all this means that I will have a front cladding piece available soon. A minor scuff on the passenger side, I will post pics when I am ready. Sorry, somewhat thread jack...I am scatter brained.

I’ve been feeling a bit artsy fartsy lately.:homer:

This is one I call Billy Timer.

To those who went with me on Kane Creek about 10 days ago or so, check this out:

Yeah, I imagine at this point, you see a dashed line speeding by in your perefrial even when your eyes are closed. Just keep driving, just keep driving, just keep driving...

How did you know? It was actually in the voice of Ellen Degeneres(SP?). "Just Keep Driving" over and over again. To make things even better, I got back to SC on Sun evening, only to spike a 103 temp, turns out I have strep throat. My brother texted me and told me my niece got sick Sun morning...kids, little germ factories. So the last two days have been miserable and today doesn't look any better, my VX is filthy, the Expy needs an oil change, I have a skid plate to bang out, a bumper to start....it never ends.
On a good note, my wife and I my actually make it out next year. Now she wants to go, and we may have found some cash. Turns out my taxes were wrong and I didn't get credit for all the points that my builder paid when I bought my house. I also paid way too much into my escrow, so we may be able to use that money to fund the trip, pending gas prices of course....

Hey... it might have been mentioned in this huge thread but I will ask it anyway...

Total number of VX's at Moab?
How many VX's did the VX-only run? Are there any line-up pics?
Did Merlin go to Moab?
