So who's all showing up? thinking about showing up? hoping to show up?

[Kejtar]

It will be great to meet all of you again :D

[IntrepidXJ]

i would love to show up again! but....it all depends on the $$$ situation.....

but i'm hopeful :rof:

[lesslimited]

Barring major unforseen complications, I will be there. After we made the mistake of being there the month before the big event last year because of a stupid timeshare exchange, I told the wife that we would not be missing the the next one.

[Handlebars]

Yes. :)

[TRNDRVR]

:paperwork It appears to be in the cards again.
Should I start my beer post now, or give it a few months? :cheers:

[Ted Z]

I'd love to.............But i doubt it.

[4ward]

Wish I could, but JV in Nov. is calling me.

Sean

[Mike in NJ]

I'd sure like to - would be strange not headed for Utah in October like the last four years - but I guess this will depend on my job search. Assuming I do find another job by then :dunno: - I doubt they will be as generous with vacation time as my former employer. If I am still an unemployed deadbeat :D , I'll be there!!!

Mike in NJ :patriot:

[poomba]

Unless I or the Jeep are dead on the 'Con, I'll be there...

[Danno]

I will be as well as my oldest daughter and husband.Also probably the youngest daughter and possible the boy friend. Danno

[Kejtar]

Also probably the youngest daughter and possible the boy friend. Danno
Is that the one from the surfing picture??

[ChiXJeff]

Not for me...... I'll be starting a new job over the summer, and taking a week off in October probably won't work out.

[ACE]

Not for me...... I'll be starting a new job over the summer, and taking a week off in October probably won't work out.

Isn't that what you said last year? :spin1:
Hope you can make it.

Ya, sure, you betcha, hey......

Rotten, no good idiots out east. Corporate acquisition happened middle of April, the site closure was announced 2 weeks later. Original end date was supposed to be late October/early November. It's done nothing but move back since then. Most of what's left here in the data center are infrastructure servers, and as soon as the remaining applications are migrated or decommissioned, we're outta here.

Every time I think that the bottom of the barrel has been reached, something even more stupid happens. :flamemad: :flamemad: :flamemad:

[woody]

I hope & plan to get out there again this year, with a Jeep this time.

Will have to see how it goes... I have it marked off as vacation on the work calendar/vac. schedule.

[GSequoia]

I'll be there. I'm going to try to be there the whole week this time.

Remi, I think you have first posters disease!

[Willis]

I plan on attending, with my own Jeep. No riding shotgun this year.

[Safari Ary]

Assuming all goes well in my life and according to plan(since when did that ever happen? :laugh2: ) I will be there!!! :D I'm very excited about the prospect of going to Moab for my first time even if it is with you guys, um, I mean.... :D j/k

Danno, Julie got a bf? Damn... ;) :D

Ary

[BillR]

Possible, but the Colorado run has a higher priority if I have to pick one to to this year. (Ouray's MUCH prettier!)
I WILL be at the Colorado run though!

[Danno]

actually it's a wakeboard. They are SMALLER than surfboards!! heh, heh!


Is that the one from the surfing picture??

[Kejtar]

LOL..... well, it's not the board that's important in that picture :D

[wolfheartak]

Hopefully I'll be able to make it WITH my jeep this year! All goes well, I'll be driving this time, not riding along :) Hopefully see y'all in oct! :)

[sidriptide]

i will be there if i don't get to hit the 'Con in august.... can only do one extended vacation west a year..... have no fear TrnDrvr.. the BeerMan will come thru for you again.... anyone else from the NAC going?? let's see if we can get more members than you can count on one hand....
mike

[Xjman1]

Doubt I'll make it this year. Kids will be in school and want to take them out to explore this time around. With their classes it is too hard for them to miss school for that long.

[seanR]

I am thinking about going, I would like to do the Colo. run, but Aug is a bad time of year for me to leave. I've got the new tow rig so I would have to rent a cabin.

[JeepXJ92]

I am planning it and keeping the weekend clear but Montana Flyfishing is calling my name and finances are gonna be the biggie here!
I hope to see you all again and see what other neat stuff Handlebars can get my Jeep to do!
Maybe Montana can wait.... hummm.....

[seanR]

Got a cabin res. today, see all of you guys again this year!

[XJEEPER]

I'll see if I can force myself to Moab in October..........

[a4x4freak]

Rain or snow, Money or not were there... :party:

[macgyvr]

Been talking about this for several years. Spent last year in Moab & Colorado in august with local buddies and had a blast except it was too hot in Moab (temps 100+) and wasn't real impressed with colorado wheelin, so I have vaca time set for moab this year with NAXJA and have full intentions of making the trip there...and trying to get my dad to make the trip out with me as well....

mac 'come awn october!' gyvr

[BUCKYXJ]

I am planning on it. Gotta get the tow rig running right.
DIG IT!

[marc15663]

I'll be there. Already took it off from work. Now i just have to build a cage.

[QUOTE=Kejtar]So who's all showing up? QUOTE]

We're there! Michaelle has the week off. I've already reserved a site a Slickrock. Can't wait to do some other trails this year.

[Roxtar]

Hope to be there. Depends on how much my divorce cripples my wallet.

[seanR]

De-wifing are expensive aren't they? Tyr to put a little away for the trip it will be a good time!

[logdog]

I'm there. No really I'm in Moab right now! I'll be here in October as well.

[Geepfreak]

Yep,, Never an excuse to not go down...

[old_man]

Had such a good time last year, I'm planning on going this year. Met a lot of nice people and made a few friends.

[mbryson]

I'll see if I can force myself to Moab in October..........


Force............ :laugh2:

...........If the XJ is still holding together, it would make for a great 'last' voyage.

[johnnyc]

Just bid my vacation time at work...and got that week off. So it is a distinct possibility. Checking out some motel rooms...might as well be comfortable.

motel rooms??? Man... call and see if they got cabins available :D All the fun is at the campground.

[itzak]

I've already got my cabin at Slickrock campground. They still had a few left that week as of yesterday. I just got home about an hour ago I wonder how it would go over at work if I just went back. The Intermoutain Chapter run was a Blast!!!!!!!!

Itzak

[OT]

Just found out, my father's day present will be to let me go to the Fling.

Anybody with a cabin or other arrangement wanna go halvsies with me? Or let me squeeze in somewhere, even if it's on the floor? I'm not totally useless, as I will have my full set of tools, welder, cutting torch, etc.

Otherwise, I can just stay in my tent.

[ladywolf]

depends on if i'm back stateside or not, whether i'm clearing or not, stuck in germany or not.......otherwise I'M THERE!!! umm....BTW....anybody got a vehicle i can ride in? and a place to crash? i promise i'm housebroken.....hell after a year in iraq i think i can tough out moab for a week;) just let me remember to bring my GOOD sleeping bag:D

Marc,
Are you moving to Siberia or are you just bidding farewell to the XJ scene? Last time we wheeled, it seemed like your XJ was running fine except, of course, that whole four-wheels-off-the-ground trick in the rock Garden. I'll be there for the Fling, maybe even leading a trail as that responsibility will be given to the IC.

[mbryson]

XJ is dieing a slow death. Building a YJ to replace it.

[Roxtar]

Doing "four-wheels-off-the-ground tricks in the rock garden" will do that.

I only damaged a tranny pan, and wiped out a beefy tie rod from that. No harm done....:D

[Backdraft]

Count me in on the trip.


Mike

[rj454]

I'll be there if I got any $$$ left after "MHJC All-4-Fun" week in Georgtown (7-31/8-6) and "NAXJA XJFest'04" (8-7/8-14) and the heep is still in one piece. I only been to Moab once and I had a blast, even tho' it was just me and my daughter. I think doing a group thing will be much more fun.

[CharlesS]

Not sure IF I will have enough vacation saved up by then.
Have to wait and see how things work out.

[Jeepin_rebel]

If everything works out.......redeployment to the states and all the debriefings. This trip sounds really awsome.

[Kejtar]

:( :( :( If I don't get my XJ fixed (doubtfull) or a new xj going (ummmm big maybe) I won't be able to make it....... I'm really pissed cause I was looking forward to this!

[climbon]

I'll be there with alot more fun things attached to the rig. Hope all the out of state rigs can make it out, would like to see a strong showing like the 20 year event.

[johnnyc]

I'll be arriving in Moab on Sunday, the 3rd. But I'll be with my mountain biking buddies. So I'll be doing more biking than jeeping. I'm hoping to do at least a couple of trails with you guys, maybe on Tuesday and/or Wednesday. 'Cause I''ll be leaving on Thursday to get to Vegas for the Interbike trade show.

It's hard having two expensive hobbies.

[DeweyXJ]

:clap: Wouldn't miss it party1: Also have a couple of freinds with TJ's who are just getting into the wheeling thing - I'ld lke to bring them along if no one has any heartburn about it (I told them how cool you guys are about this kinda thing) party1: Last year was my first year! I was impressed beond words :worship: Signed up with the IC as soon as it was formed, & have been talking to everyone I run into (XJ or not) about how cool it is to be in a group of like minded individuals :kissyou: We're going to try to make the whole week! We'll see how it goes :D

[Danno]

Great! TJs are fun to have along as we can show them how much better XJs are! :laugh2:

[OT]

I'm still on for the whole week.
Got a cabin.

Backdraft, Jeepin_Rebel, and I will be heading out Monday morning and caravanning into Moab Monday afternoon/evening. We will be leaving for home Sunday morning.

If anyone along the I-40 route wants to join in on the caravan, let me know where you're at and I'll tell you what time we'll be driving through your location. Everyone's welcome.

If you can't take a Jeep but can go and at least ride along all week, you can jump in with one of us to get to Moab.

I'll have the mig, torch, etc., so if you are limited on room, you can leave 'em at home.

[Kejtar]

Great! TJs are fun to have along as we can show them how much better XJs are! :laugh2:
Unless Hagen is behind the wheel... than it's a toss up (I'm still amazed how he made it up that waterfall on Poison Spider).

[Popeye]

I have the last couple of days off (not enough leave) and will be in town wenesday night, still need to find a place to stay probabley my tent(not enough pay,too many hobbies), be leaveing sunday morn. If any one needs a ride while there just let me know as of now i have open seats,(I dont do real extreme stuff 4's/4+'s since my junk is mostly stock :( ) :firedevil

[Bloose]

Not going to be there this year :(. This will be the first year I won't be there in, well, forever. I've been there for every NAXJA Fall Fling. Last year I had started a new Job and took 5 days off without pay so I could make it. They will no longer allow time off without pay so I must use vacation time. I'm using my only week off to go to CO this year. Next year I'll have 2 weeks of vacation so I will likely do Moab and maybe Tellico again. But for this year, ya'll have a great time and post lots of pics.

B-loose

[SnakeBitXJ]

Well I'm 95% sure I will be there and this time I'm ready for anything. It's locked with an 8.8 and 4:1 and all kinds or other good stuff. Now, if I could only drive. :laugh:

[jrsxj98]

Planning on it if the $$ is there after the NAXJA Colorado Fest

[rokclimbertx]

looking forward to it again this year... had a great time last year... can't decide on accomodations tho... trying to work in some "company" for the trip this time... i'd be intertested to know if the head count so far is near what it was last year...

Okie Terry, what route are you taking & when? i'm coming up from TX and will hit 40 in amarillo and may join in the caravan...

gonna try and get in some kayaking maybe this time and some geocaching, maybe even some climbing/rappelling... too much to do there, i love it!

We will be in Amarillo at 11:00am on Monday morning. We will stop for gas in east Amarillo. If you can meet up with us I can find out witch gas station and what exit it is. Right now, all I know is that it's a BIG new place on the south side of I-40.

[bigjoe]

I'll be there on the 2nd of Oct thru the 10th barring anymore emergencies. Looking forward to it.

[Matt S.]

I am in! I am working hard to get my jeep together. Is the tent camping bad there?

Matt

[rightseatsis]

I'm in. I was going through on my vacation anyway at this time. When I seen one of the runs was going to be Shaffer Trail, I figured I could do that easily. I just got my XJ 4weeks ago and the only modification is the NAXJA sticker on the window. So I have what, 4 weeks to add some hooks and armor. Nothing like a deadline to get you motivated. See you there.

Mary

[Kejtar]

Nothing like a deadline to get you motivated. See you there.

You've got that right :) Btw, there is plenty trails out there that you should be able to handle!! Also to all that are coming, don't forget to make your reservations at Slickrock if you're camping.

[JohnJohn]

I'll be there.

[jrsxj98]

Im there.

[Kejtar]

Well since Mary's going & I'll be putting the armor on her XJ (and quit telling her she needs so much, I'm trying to paint my house!) I'll fly into SLC and rent a wreck to get to Moab.
Tom
Don't tell me that there's something about Mary that I missed? Who's Mary? :D

[YELLAHEEP]

I'm going for part of it anyway. Get there Sun. evening, run a trail Mon. then assume trail leader duties for Steel Bender on Tues. Probably leave Wed. AM.

Looking forward to it!!!

[XJEEPER]

Tent camping isn't bad at all, in fact, if you camp at Slickrock Campground there are lots covered tent sites are well as limited cabins. Showers and bathrooms are included........

[brent]

I only damaged a tranny pan, and wiped out a beefy tie rod from that. No harm done....:Dyou really should be carefull with those tie rods, how many is this? and how is that YJ coming, I saw a 97 vortec 454 for sale on rme, and the gears started turning again :D Hasta

[brent]

sort of planning on it, the wife did ask me what I wanted for my B-day :D but I'm trying to figure out how to get her allong with...... so I may be riding shotgun in my own ride... not so bad when you've been there done that I guess.

[Boatwrench]

Don't tell me that there's something about Mary that I missed? Who's Mary? :D
My sister.

[Danno]

Remi...I believe that Mary is his sister. Maybe she is single?! Anyway, it looks like she is gonna bring her brother. thye more the better!

[bretto]

It's in my thoughts to go. I will make a good effort to get down there. Had a great time last spring with everyone. Thanks to Tom W., I don't have leaf spring troubles anymore. I was just down there on Saturday on Rusty Nail and can't wait to get back down there.

[BornAgainXJer]

I can't make it for the fall fling but I am going to be there Oct. 8th thru the 11th. Will anybody still be around for the weekend? I don't really have any buddies that have 4x4 rigs. I am going down with some friends for 4x4/hiking. Wondering if anybody would want to go out for a day. I hate going out on my own. Girlfriends don't exactly help very much when it comes to fixing things and other stuff that goes along with wheeling.

[GSequoia]

What time you gonna be there on the 8th?

I'll be there through Saturday teh 9th, not sure if I'll want to run anything, but stop by Slickrock CG and have a beer at least.

Slickrock campground is a big place where exactly?
Do you know if it's A, B, C, D, E, F or G

As for where...:dunno:...I'm pulling a 14' travel trailer, so will be somewhere with a space for that.

Red '89 with about 3" of lift, the trailer is a 14' travel trailer (the cabin is about 9' long) hard shell (not a pop-up) with BURRO on the side.

[BornAgainXJer]

Ok, my bad. I thought when you said slickrock campground you meant up in the sand flats by the slickrock bike trail, hell's revenge and dump bump. I know where u r talking about now.

And I didn't say I was going to be going from CA to UT very fast..hehe

AFAIK though he's planning to split it up into two pieces, but he can do it in one. I pulled last year on 4.11's with a manual tranny a trailer that weighed over twice as much as his. The only thing that came out of it was that the mpg suuuuuuuucked and on the long climbs towards the end I'd be doing only about 35mph (not counting the ticket in Barstow....). SO this year I figured it's cabin time (costs even out to be the same).
Oh... and yeah I Should still be there Sat AM and might hit some trails depending on whether I have cabin through Sat or Sun (Can't remember).

No, Lawn cher can't make it so I really don't know how I'm getting out there. I still don't have a tow vehicle avail so I may end up having to drive the XJ out.

I'll be bringing mine too. Really want to do the Slickrock.

[Roxtar]

I'll be bringing mine too. Really want to do the Slickrock.I've done Slickrock a couple times. It's kind of a cool playground but I prefer real trails. Slickrock is like a concrete terrain park. Granted, everyone should do it at least once but there are incredible trails out there like Porcupine Rim and Amasa Back that are truly awe-inspiring.

[wallysheata]

I'll be leading Moab Rim on Sat, unfortunately the XJ won't be ready in time, so i'm going to be driving the YJ. Look for a big blue ugly POS YJ on 37's hanging out a slickrock with you guys :D
