Moab May 4-7th: Official Farewell Trip

[AZCA jeeper]

So a little birdy told me a certain beloved community gnome and his family will be hitting the road back home and closing this chapter of their lives. As such there have been talks of doing a Moab trip this April to send them off. Lets use this thread to formulate a game plan including dates, proposed routes, and any vehicle maintenance needing to be done prior to the journey.

Personally I have a laundry list of things to accomplish on the truck in just a few short months. However, I was given to green light to devote my tax return to Dorothy...a thought which I never thought I'd have...permission to spend money...

Anyway lets get some thoughts going!


My List

- Replace Shocks
- Pass Side. Caliper/pads
- 4WD Vacuum (or 1 piece shaft)
- Worn out/loose steering
- Heater Core
- Control Arm Bushings
- Mystery Clunk (suspected steering or bushings)
- Transmission Pump
- Tires (suspected main cause of death wobble)

I rearranged these in importance of getting done before Moab for you.....

Gather your parts and bring that thing up here for a couple days. We'll knock it out.

Well there was no particular order but i appreciate it!

I have some other nonessential projects that require some fab if you'd be interested...

I am really looking forward to this. General consensus is that April or May is the time frame. The Gnomes move in June. The other general thought is this is a four day trip not a week, to make it workable for the most people.

Maybe the weekend after EJS?

• Fluid changes in axles
• Rear main and transmission pan
• Lights
• CB radio
• Misc wiring in dash for short

Chris, if you can come up with another trailer you can drive my truck and I can pull my jeep with my work truck. Just a thought.

EJS would be sweet but you know the trails will be packed. But there will be cool rides, sweet concepts and good shows at the main obstacles.

I think it is wise to have a wrenching day for everybody
