Classics Go to Moab Part II

[mikebontoft]

I would have redlined my engine repeatedly.

This too!

 

[SV_Dude]

That is EXACTLY the line I would have taken.

I was trying to do what I can to spot him but there wasn't much of a place for me to stand. I wish I could have gotten all of it recorded because it got much worse after I stopped recording. He was definitely on his side but not flopped over, made for an exciting day though.

It doesn't look nearly as bad on the way down though... Going down is sometimes easier.

I remember watching that and saying "Wow, that guys awesome."

You are a rookie, aren't you?

 

[Footofgod]

I remember watching that and thinking "wow, that is NOT the line I would have taken". :moon:

That's what I said when I watched it.

16. But I wheel like I know what I'm doing.

 

[mikebontoft]

I wheel like I stitch dresses....

Without a damn clue.

In all fairness bill had no power steering that day and with the soft sand on that trail, there wasn't much choice holding a specific line.

 

[Wolf_Girl]

Can I be on the maybe list??

Try driving my 3.4L from Cali to Moab with 167,000 miles and TWO top end rebuilds in the last 16,000 miles!

Give the 3.0 some credit. Mine made it last year and will do it again this year.

I'm almost double your mileage. Quit your griping and tune that baby up for the trip.

It's not his motor's fault, FoG, the 3.4 is a great engine. It's just that Connor talked smack on SV and I last winter and now karma is biting him in the ass. :moon:

What if you off-road alot, but you actually know how to drive so you have "oh shit" moments, but you get out without damage. Hahahaha

Oh you just wait, karma will serve you on that comment lol

x2 Kind of what I'm thinking. I shot my mouth off about having been the only guy in the group to never break anything. Then I went to Gilmer and snapped a CV; had to spend the rest of the weekend riding in other people's rigs.

I'm going to Moab in October hahaha

Make sure to wear your helmet rofl

I'm more than capable of driving off road, sir.

Bring a helmet and make sure you get it on video when karma kicks you in the dick :rofl:

 

[KidVermicious]

rofl - I wasn't a very quick learner when I was 17 either.

 

[Footofgod]

Put a call in to Moab Rim this morning, waiting for a call back.

 

[downpour11]

[Footofgod]

Reservation at Moab Rim is made!

I love the motor. It's just never fell under the head gasket recall so I keep think it could go anytime lol.
