Mike and I are leaving Saturday so we will probably already have something broken before you guy even leave Colorado! I'm up for bringing what ever is needed for the gathering. Just post up when we have a rough head count.

Speaking of getting things to Gunni. I have two items that need a ride, a gasket set and a bronco bed floor. Not to call you out Rox, but if you are driving your truck it sure would be easy for me to drop them off at your place.

Thanks guys.

Don't worry too much about my stuff. I know things are busy now, if things don't make it to Moab, it won't be an issue. Its all stuff for "future" projects*.

Mike and I will be leaving in the morning, I'll take it if we can hook up on my way through Denver.

What PCM is it? I have a spare A9P that I'm bringing along.. Not sure why I'm bringing it, my Bronco is an A9L.

Let me know if you want me to take the PCM. Might be easier than trying to get it down to Jeff way down in the Southlands.

I forget the numbers/letters its the one for a manual trans.

I have 2 "reman'd" ECUs that give me identical error codes, although there seems to be no reason I'm getting the codes. The truck runs ok, but isn't doing any adaptive learning & has a bit of a hanging idle. I sent one to Garry to look at, hopefully he can peg whats wrong. Last I heard, he thought a component might have been soldered into the board incorrectly. If he can fix it and I can have it in Moab that would be great. Otherwise the ECU I've been running for 2+ years is fine.

My suspension needs replacing so I probably won't be doing any trails. If I can make it I would be looking for an empty seat.

Guys,

Was planning to be in Moab this afternoon, but got caught in Silverton with the storm. Both mountain passes have chain requirements and it is still snowing. Best guess is we'll pull out of here Tuesday afternoon and get in Moab later that day.

Any plans on what trails everyone is running and on which day? Always enjoy running Hell's Revenge which looks like Thursday only with the Bronco Safari.

I just got a call from the guys I wheeled with at the Arizona Stampede. Would it be okay to have them run with us? They are rigged better than me, so they should be okay. It would be 3 Broncos and 4 people total.

Sarah said she would make a desert. Does anyone have a head count?

I went through there very early this morning. It was bad, worse after already driving 1100 miles.

We got here yesterday ahead of the storm. Rained most of the evening and last night. Gave us a chance to test the snorkel / air management system. The high water mark at this point is four inches. Just below the raised white letters on my tires

Saw you cruise by last night at the south end of town while we were leaving the blu pig restaurant. Which trail did you run today? My uncle and I ran Moab rim and cliff hanger today. Great time on both! I'm just starting to see some other broncos showing up in town tonight.

We are kind of playing tomorrow by ear. Chances are we'll likely have an easy run up poison spider mesa then hike around arches until sunset. Should be a nice relaxing day. Probably going for metal masher in the late morning Tuesday.

Won't be making it this year. I will keep the snorkel on the Rover and get it fixed up for another time. That way all the snorkel jokes can still be used. I hope everyone has a great time with no breakage.

So it looks like I'll get some locker practice on icy roads before Moab after all. Sweet. I love being anxious. Maybe I'll get Bob Marley to ride shot gun.

I bet the roads will be dry by the time we are on the road.

YEA! We made to Moab and just unloaded the Bronco. The sun came out for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon and we escaped Silverton! The weather forecast was for more snow for two more days, so we felt lucky to make it out without any white knuckle driving. We are staying at RV Portal, Campground area, lot #2. Look forward to a great time in Moab!
