Alright, there should be plenty of Gen2 trucks there, so it'll be interesting to see what's being done to them.. As for us oldskoolers, most trucks are and have been pretty well outfitted previously; lifts, lockers, now even the SAS' are showing up in force. I've decided to stay IFS and to finish off my XTERRA buildup, i'm doing the following things by this years GONE. Post up what you're getting done by the end of May to have the best, safest time you can in Moab.

Install-
R200A Front LSD
CALMINI 3.92:1 gears
XD9000i WARN winch
Plasma rope / Hawse fairlead / Sweet-ass hook
CALMINI SAS Spring Packs
AC Spring perch sliders
2" AC Body lift / Liner lips
4 ea 5"x7" 100w lights (custom lightbar)

Replace-
IAB
TREs
Fuel filter
TC Crossmember
OPTIMA (red to yellow)

Well. BEing that I have 4 kids (no regrets) the mods are slow coming. But here they are:

Install/Installed:
3'' SLR SL with aal and 2'' shakles (already done yet to be heavely wheeled)
32'' tires either Yoko MT+ or Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip (yet to be put on)
Full set of skids from Shrockworks (intalled)
SLR Steering setup (on its way)

already on:
LightForce 170 lights
Calmini Sliders
CB
Nissan neoprene seat covers
PIAA back up light
Wilderness roof rack

There maybe other things ie Raingler barrier net, Optima Batt. so on and so forth.

Dan why did you decide to stay IFS?

Really quick.. just 'cause I have the '66 Scout and I'm restoring that to enjoy for a couple of years. I'll let it appreciate in value a little more.. Than I'm gonna' sell the '66 to a collector and get a ScoutII and go apeshit on it.

Pack and GAS up and I’m ready

Bringing spare parts for folks that might need them (not me I hope)

Front axle shaft(s) for SAS
Stock Rear Driveshaft
Front extended length brake lines
Stock Transmission mount
Spare u-joints

Would be nice to also have:

Typical IFS steering (tie rods, CL, etc) & axle parts (Shafts, hubs, etc)
Torsion bar anchors and adjusters.
Spare set of motor mounts
Front SAS driveshaft

I just listed what I’ve seen in the past that’s broken but please add or listed what you can contribute or think is needed?

Maybe we should give a carnage bonus extra raffle tickets after ever incident

- Bilstein shocks -INSTALLED
- HD Torsion Bars -INSTALLED
- Idler Arm Brace -INSTALLED

Hope to have before GONE:

- Shrock Front Bumper
- Full skids

Replace bushings all over the place
ummmm Work on the steering system
Get some spare parts
Pack

BUY BEER IN CO, CHEAPER!!!

Yes, Xtoolbox I failed to mention that I will be bringing my OEM T-bars and the OEM steering items you mentioned.

OHHH BOOOY, I cant wait!! :p

Putting my BFG AT's on for the drive 'cross country.....Changing out all my fluids about 2 months out......Figure out this damned GPS-Mac interface.....Hmmmmmmm.....I sure other things will come to mind....But not yet.

Well, this will be my first time at Moab or a place similar to it, so, a bit nervous about things and trying to get as much stuff that will help me get through it as undamaged and safe as possible. The main things that I WILL have by then is

- HD Calmini Steering System
- Optima Yellow Top
- CO2
- other random smaller things

I HOPE to get:

- Rear Locker
- HD Calmini Torsion Bars
- Bilstein Shocks all around

Just depends on some funds coming in! Either way, I'm excited to go with what I have!

Hey Dan, whats the model number on that yellow Optima?

Well, I went to Moab back in Nov. and besides the sliders I was bone stock. Had no problem keeping up with everyone, however here are my plans for goneMOAB (If they ship in time )

Installed:
Shrockworks Front Bumper
Shrockworks Sliders
Hi-Lift (thank you Troy and Kevin)

Ordered:
SLR 5inch Suspension
King 2.5 Coilover Shocks w/ resevoir
King Hydraulic Bumpstops
33x12.50 SSRs
Cragar 16x8 Steelie Wheels
Shrockwork Skids

Ordering soon:
Calmini Rear Tire Carrier

EDIT: Decided to go with Calmini's rear tire carrier and SSRs.

Ponyboy, I noticed in your profile that you are on the "tax staff" for your occupation. That seems to explain how you are able to do all those high dollar mods.

Your secret is safe with me "TAX MAN"

Will have on by Moab:

3"BL
33's
Stainless break lines (broke my stock line last year at Gone)
Ducted Hood
CO2
In bed tire carrier
Custom rear bumper
Calmini front bumper

Hope to have:

Calmini Gears
Shrock skids
Winch
Red Top

After this list is complete the only thing left to do is a SAS. Just need the cash.

Sorry Ryan, it's SC34DA

Here's another mod I just got that might could come in handy..


It goes on the rear bumper

Whip out the JB Weld Kevin!

Hey you can NOT deny that the JB Weld has held... that was a stroke of Brilliance that took 12 beers @ 2am to come up with and execute. while sitting around the campfire!!!

Where'd you put it? I was moving mine around and realized there's really no vertical or near vert surface on the front or back bumper which is safe from me scraping it off..

We did it on Troys but it was on the inside of the swing arm of the tire carrier. Right behind the tire, still plenty of clearance between the door and opener.

Honest opinion would a stock 05 offroad with AT and sliders be enough for this event?

Dan, I've had my opener on ther driver's side wing of my ARB for sometime now. I have done some pretty good stuff with it there and no harm yet

Yes... we have gotten the stock OR editions through some pretty gnarly stuff.

Alpine is correct. The great thing about goneMoab is that it is stock friendly. There are a number of optional trails and obstacles for folks with built trucks to play on, but we have had bone stock 4 banger Frontiers come out. Sliders are always a good thing to have. At the very least take off the step rails.

-Doug

I was stock, aside from sliders, and did fine back in November. You will have NO problems keeping up with everyone.

I left goneMoab with my draw dropped open 2 years ago when I saw stock vehicles doing the things they did, including myself.

The trail leaders have driven these trails and many like them, follow there direction and no probs.
