Easter Jeep Safari 2011 - Pictures/Videos/Stories!!!!

[turbosniper1]

As soon as the snow starts to melt, or for some of us we get the biggest snows of the year, it is a sure sign that it is time for EASTER JEEP SAFARI in Moab, UT!!!!:greg:
But some of us just haven't had the time or money to get our rigs up and running in time.:sick: So this thread is for anyone and everyone to come and tell your stories, share some pictures of the awesome scenery, and maybe even brag a bit about making an obstacle that you've never even thought about trying!!!!
This thread is dedicated to everyone, like me, that didn't make it to Safari, and this thread is also meant to serve as a solid kick in the pants to get your builds done so you can WHEEL!!!!!
Hope everyone had fun this year..... Let's see it!!!!!

Still working on pics but here's a quick video from the crawl magazine run on Tuesday through upper helldorado and here's a video of me crawling suicide hill. I believe another RME member got a better video but that's all I have now.

That is totally amazing... what a way to ruin your EJS weekend.

Ya this morning when the sun came up and it was sitting in the dirt I thought, man I sure hope he had that trailered here. They were from colorado.

Ran Metal Masher, no trouble. Ran 7mile, did not like the off camber bit above Wipeout but it looked a lot worse than it was.. Wipeout Hill was fun, got a little iffy trying the right line at the bottom but went up to the left with no drama.... ran Fins at night, and most of Green Day with a visiting Australian as a passenger... that wrecked Toy was just getting back to camp at about 11.30pm.

Blazer of Doom has done better than I would have guessed, have been told several times that is has a magic wheelbase. At any rate, about 85% of my trails have done barely above idle, just tootling along without any drama. Haven't had to mash the throttle or anything, it just goes. Its been fun.

I had a hell of a time just making it to EJS from Grand Jct... I was supposed to be out at Bfe on tue for the Crawl run but RCV axlel F***D me, I had them paid for in full 3 1/2 WEEKS before EJS and first they had a bad batch. then there shipping was all screwed up, then when I finally received them they sent me one too long... I was P.O.'D by this point but finally made it by Friday morning with ONE RCV and one slighlty twisted short side inner chromo... At least we made it out to BFE to meet Bad Buggy, Springer, and Jason and some other roudy Junction cats... Lucky enough to run upper helldarodo, green day, and minor threat. Had a blast right after we climbed suiced hill we caught up to that group recovering that green yota with no axles, craziest recovery I have ever seen. Although it didnt take them as long as i thought to get back to HQ BFE from the top of green day!!! Had a blast!! Here are some pics.

Thanks for the Awesome pics Mike!!! I sure wish I could have been there with you guys, atleast to take pictures for you all! Please tell me that you have a video of you going up the waterfall?!?! Also some sweet twist pics of everyone, and especially your buggy would be totally awesome!!! I am looking into some ORIs for the front of my truck build and would love to see how they work before buying them. Your buggy is so far beyond sweet, it is not even funny! Would really love to see how some of the rigs did on the obstacles of Helldorado!!!!!
Also, I just sent you a return PM! Thank you so much for the offer!!! It has been so long since I have been out, and I could really use it! I don't care what my back says, I need to get out in the crawling environment that I love so much!!!!!

Everyone else..... Keep the awesome pics and videos coming!!! It looks like the weather started to not cooperate with everyone about mid week, and I know that today it was only 52* there in Moab today. Those videos that Wally put up are totally awesome! I always see people throttling up Suicide Hill... I think I can honestly say that you are the first person that I have seen crawl it! Awesome rig, and totally Awesome driving!!!!!

I can't wait to see the myriad of pictures and videos once everyone gets home!!!!!
Keep up the awesome pics and great wheeling!!!!
