Time to start planning for Blazer Bash 2009

Member, MNSTRBURBAN here flat tows his big azz sub all the time behind his chevy 2500 with a special triangle tow bar and a special Bumper center from DIY4X he ahd made. Wheels with 42 irocks but tows with 35's. Said it tows like a dream and just puts every thing in neutral. PM him for more info. His name is Matt.
That would suck to break a knuckle on a trail.....Not to mention all the time and space included with the tires......
What ever gets you to the trails I guess........
I hear ya. Matt said all 4 of his 42's fit inside the burb but he is generally towing it from Orange County to Glamis and back which is about 225 miles each way and not the 800 or so to Utah. If people are interested in Matts bumpercenter from DIY you really should have him take pic as it seems to have twice the beef as their stock centers have. He's got 4 shackles up front instead of the two and a giant pintal hitch mount just below the fairlead mount with the incorporated spring and core support mounts. Very impressive.

I would love to make a trip out to Moab sometime, but 1200 miles there and 1200 miles back sure is a long roadtrip, gas would be killer...that is unless I can call shotgun and fly out

There are always empty seats. The hard part is the ride from the airport to Moab. As time gets closer, post up that you need a ride. I drive there from Colorado Springs with at least 2 seats empty.
This is how I get to Moab
That's how I do it Chaddy. Except with my Full size blazer being towed by a 5.4L Furd.
My biggest worry is trail breakage and no way to get home.

Yep fly in to Grand Junction and it wouldn't be hard to give ya a ride out to Moab and from there either run shot gun or rent a heep.
always seats open. I always have 1 and usually 3 empty

Never have really liked those heeps, plus I am a total beginner at any type of technical crawling. If it all works out I will just fly into Grand Junction the day before or the day of, ride shotgun (or jumpseat for all I care) for the trip, and fly out the day after it's all done.

Especially now that you are a fellow D60 snob
Pfff, he has twice as many D60's in his rig

Ya know....this Blazer Bash sounds like a lot of fun. If I can get the work finished on the truck, I'm going to try and make it. Always wanted to see Moab back country.

Yea. all the pictures of Moab and near vertical trucks flying on one wheel are kinda extreme cases that made me nervous the first time. There's tons of really fun stuff to do that most any stock rig can maneuver over without breaking anything.
If you're truck is reasonably well built and reliable on the street, it's probably going to be just fine over the most common trails even with 1/2 gear.
I've driven there and back 3 times at over 1000 miles each way with nothing broken other than a Jeep's bumper (that part stayed in Moab).

how does moab compare to the rubicon
Moab is the wheeling Mecca of the world.
Well, everyone's on their own in figuring out how to get to Moab. I just supply a few pix of why you might want to go there in the first place

well how much of a challenge is it because i was talking to this guy that drives a 07 powerwagon (this is a quad cab long bed anchor) its stock no lift no nothing its got some chitty sliders eaton e lockers a sway bar disconnect and a winch and he said he took it threw the hardest parts of moab and im just sitting there nodding my head so this somewhat gave me a bad impression. do any of you guys think this guy could have been telling the truth.
