The earlier it is the more likely to hit monsoon season.

Discloser my rig has the 454 BBC in 2006 but still D44 ChroMo w/CTM up front and 35pline D60 rear... (7/8 Ton I call it LOL) D60/14FF came after this trip..
When the door flew open!
After the rain in 2006 the discussion was had about changing the dates. Ultimately September was chosen after realizing October has the highest precipitation in Moab.
I think we should stay away from the rain. It is safer for us and less breakage.
Yeah but if you do it later then you can get the guys that like to do snow runs in the mtns. Lol.
I've heard snow on slickrock brings the suck.

I’ll try and be there
I have to ask, because inquiring minds want to know. Signed up 5 years ago, and finally posting?
We enjoy having newbies along. What will you be bringing? And we all like pictures. Or start a build thread in the garage.
The Nitro Circus and I are talking about the Pickle on Friday, Golden Spike on Saturday, and Hell's Revenge. Maybe we should rename that last to @Raggedy_Ann's Revenge.
I think we can also squeeze in Mashed Potato on Friday. I’m excited!

I'll add you @joeymarzo and @uintagarage
I’m planning on making it. Already have a cabin reserved. Goal is to have the truck wheelable by the end of this year and start working out all the bugs.
Keep your fingers out of harms ways
If I may, I want to bring up a subject that has apparently been a problem for an unknown number of years. Does anyone has some input about how to deal with the mismatch of trucks AND driving styles?
What I am referring to is the fact that there are highly modified trucks and close to stock trucks. So often there are ones who can and like to go faster, while there are some who prefer to go slower and enjoy a slower pace. I get the impression that both can feel imposed upon by the opposite style of driver. I thought that we were all showing up in a group, at a set date, to be meet new people or recreate with some people whom we have only talked to on the internet. This may not be the idea for everyone, as we are all different people. Good thing, isn't it?
I have watched a truck, two trucks ahead of me, drive off out of sight. I have also had to wait for the truck behind me to catch up, because we have been told every time, to wait for everybody, don't leave someone behind.
I am not trying to place ANY sort of blame to anyone. We just need to find a way to say crap to each other, and respect each other's choices. We have all built trucks that suit ourselves and our styles. There are guys who show up who have lots of experience with offroad driving, but there are guys who don't do it like the next guy, (probably are frickin smart as hell about something else in this world) and are trying to have fun at their own pace offroad. I have found that there is a diversity of those who attend Blazer Bash, and they should all have a blast while there!
I don't think that one guy should feel imposed upon by waiting for someone, nor do I want someone to feel left behind.
Would more, but smaller groups be a good idea? Maybe the total number of trucks on the trail is 16, but split into two groups of equal OR dissimilar sizes.
Either way, I hope that we can discuss any sh!t that arises.
