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

[NoMatter]

Thanks for all the kind comments and concern. I plan on calling Tuesday afternoon to release my cabin reservation unless someone wants it speak up soon. As always without pics it didn't happen so here is a couple post op xrays

yeah I would get those blown up and framed for my wall if I were you. That is an epic break sir^^^^

Holy crap Huey. I assume you pull your Commander inside that monster trailer. YOu must have a couple of engines in that RV. I'd be a nervous wreck driving that thing to Utah. I know I'd rip the top off pulling under the overhang at a gas station.

Nope, only one engine. It actually pulls fine. On a level road I can easily do 75. On a hill is a different story, but I do not mind. It is better to slow me down going up and down hills anyway. I was planning on going I-70 thru Kansas and Colorado but I now think I will go I-44 then I-40 to Gallup and then north to Moab. I want to avoid the high passes in Colorado. I hope that going north from Gallup is like going to Buena Vista, Co from Albuquerque. That route was up north thru north/south valleys instead of over mountains. If anybody knows how level the route from Gallup to Moab, I would like some feedback.

Funny story: We pulled into a campground this evening before dark. About 40 people gathered to see what would come out of the back of the "Slick Trailer". I tried to charge admission for the show, but they stayed around anyway. Two of the guys were members of the Jeep Commander Forum. I told them we were slowly making our way to Moab for the Camp Commander. One of the younger guys wanted to travel in the stacker to Moab, said " just let him have a case of MRE's and some water and he would hitch hike back after the camp.

BTW...We do not do gas stations because I can just see the same thing. I always try to get deisel fuel from truck stops using the same pumps as the 18 wheelers. I also have fuel fillers locations on both sides for faster fueling, but I always just use one of them.
