Is everybody ready to start planning for Moab Spring of 2017? EJS Should be from April 8-16 this year, and I know I'll have to work around Easter. I've got welding class every Saturday so I'm finalizing the dates for March 27th thru March 30th! That gives everyone plenty of travel time and should be early enough to avoid most EJS BS. Those will be next years dates as well.
Pics from last year to attract new prospects:

Cool! Are you going to be around for the run on Sunday?
Anyone interested in an overland type trip out there?
I went to the Rocky mountain overland meetup this month and a guy was talking about a Montrose to Moab thing. Blake or Nikkormat probably know some paths.
I might be up for that on the way out, maybe camp one night on the way.
Also... I would love to think about a white rim expedition next year. Gotta get permits / camp site reservations way in advance.
I am gearing up to do emissions. Plan: new exhaust (cat, especially), check EGR, finish TBI datalogger, wideband sensor install, further tuning, then test again.

You leave Colorado through the town of Gateway, CO.
There are a few different paths to take and a couple of them will have too much snow. I don't think they actually close the trail with gates, but believe me, there is too much snow.
There are a couple of ways to get to Moab from Gateway that are graded dirt roads that will be open/no snow. I believe you could even tow a camper through those roads.
OK! I have my schedule for this year and next finalized, so the 2017 and 2018 invasion dates are going to be March 27th thru March 30th!
Like Ouray those dates are ones where you should be checked into your campground ready to wheel for a day. But also like Ouray, those are more guide lines than rules.
Tentatively, I would like one day to be spent in sand flats hopefully running hell's revenge. A day at the sand dunes north of town. Other than that I'll probably just spend a few days driving around and doing the tourist thing.
Wow... March got here QUICK! I am definitely not going to have the powertrain swap done in time. Not sure if I am going to make it since I have to figure out what to do with the kids/wife.
I don't know that I'm gonna make it this year.... the clutch in the honcho is getting really bad. I was 'wheeling up to my neighbors house the other day on a steep hill in the snow and I could smell it bad. Plus it's being used as a tractor now; pulling full lenght pine logs and towing the dually up the driveway when I get water.
I'm way too busy to slap a clutch in it right now.
