    Ultimate Jeep Summit 2012 / MOAB UT / May 14 -17, 2012 (pre-event thread)

    Okay, this is just to feel the air for interest...

    There was some discussion in anther thread about MOAB and I thought we could consider WC Camp Commander 2012 in Moab if there was enough interest and we could agree on a time of year.

    MOAB, UTAH

    April and May are great times of the year to go as long as we avoid the Easter Jeep Safari. Early June might still be pleasant but we had a couple of "hot" days last week (the XKs electric radiator fan actually came on for awhile). September and October would be great times to go also though the days will be much shorter. A lot would depend on who has kids still in school.

    I guess from what knappster posted about the temps....it looks pretty reasonable....or i guess easily survivable.
    I was just going by what a few other were saying when we were standing around talking about it last year at WCCC.

    I guess a more realistic question for those that have been there: Would rigs withwout a 4inch lift survive?...I have only seen trialbyfire, Kmax, Phunkey, and may be a couple others post photos of moab.... but i think they all had 4inch lifts or more, and 33-34 inch tire or so.
    I am just guessing there would be damage expected to nearly every rig that went. it may be a small price to pay for an awesome gathering! lol

    There are lots of runs you could do with a 2" lift. When I had my 2" RR lift and 245/70s, we did Metal Masher and Seven Bar Rim w/o too much dragging. Hoaxci had no problems on Fins and Things.

    I guess this video means that there are different levels of trails there.
    I couldnt believe this!

    Yes, that is a great video! He's on a fairly easy section of stock-friendly Fins and Things which appears pretty steep in the video due to the long lens.

    There's a gazillion Crown Vic cop cars, so they must have something going for them.

    It does seem out of place to see a family sedan out there, but from stories my mom & dad have talked about from their days in Trona CA, it was common to see a 1950's Bel Aire or even old Model T's miles and miles from anything. They'd ride a Harley in the Panamint Mountains. One time, they saw a brand new Buick with an old couple coming down a sand road, then going up a steep rocky hill. They stopped on the way by. They were full up with supplies and heading back to their mining camp in a shiny new (Then) 1960's Buick sedan.

    You just never know...
