Back...Unfortunately...

[Midnightblue54]

I had a hell of a time and loved every minute of it. I'm just pissed I couldn't stay the whole week, stupid friggin graduation. :mad: It was sweet getting to see all the different rigs and a bunch of the guys on here I hadn't met. I'll get the pictures from yesterdays run up tomorrow. Too tired from the drive right now. Hope the rest of the guys are having a blast up there. I gotta spend tomorrow afternoon cleaning out all the damn red sand and dust in my interior. :roflmao::crazy:

[Reserector]

You are lucky to have gone at all. I am pure envy right now.
I hope everyone has a great time and stays safe. :) Looking forward to the pictures, video and stories.

[jonwiili]

Woohoo thanks those are great pics!

[the007forum]

your X looks good going down those bumps!i cant believe how many x's there were! Are you still in Moab?

[jonwiili]

Yeah im still here. Did Hey Joe Canyon,think that one is going to the "do not run again bin".
Nice views...mostly dust and tight trails through brush...lots and lots of pin stripping. Most of us look like someone took a garden rake to the sides of our rigs.
The other guys on the red didnt even get back till 2100 or so, told it was a bear of a trail.

Took the words right out of my mouth! Drooling over pictures, can't wait to see them all

[Sully4x4]

I am so envious. Looks like a great time =(

[csutke]

Was that Toy in your group or just somebody who was out there at the same time?

[Sully4x4]

Might have been in his group since he posted his group had a couple yota's goin along. ;)

[Midnightblue54]

Hey, Thanks for uploading the photo's of my X. I appreciate it. It was great meeting you guys, I had a blast! I ran Hey Joe Canyon a little after we ran Gemini Bridges and scared the shit out of myself. Lots of brush that said "Go ahead, come over here so I can scrape the hell out of you and your paint!" I've got some nice deep scratches and pin striping to show off now no thanks to that damn run. Just bummed I couldn't run it with the rest of you guys. Looking back on monday, I almost kinda regret not pushing it and going for Cliff Hanger. Oh well. Photos are being uploaded right now.

V8 Xterra?!?!?!?! is that the '09 one? frigggin awesome. I mean gas mileage couldn't possibly be any worse than I'm getting now, so what the hell!

Nope, this is Project X2. Nissan's off road toy and test vehicle. The engine is from the Titan and it has a Pathfinder Radiator Shroud. All of it basically dropped in and needed a new wiring harness. It sounded bad ass. We asked the guy if the '09 was gonna have a V8 option and he said not at the moment. The '09 is gonna have subtle exterior differences, interior is new, and alot more options. He said when he drove the '09 something about it made it feel like it was bigger. Guess we'll have to wait until the guys can post up pics of it and the new Frontier. :D

[OdiN]

Yeah I was gonna come in here and say that it was probably a Titan engine.

[the007forum]

that was pretty fun. you and i were the black SE rims club. I like that pic of you behind me with both of us showing our new Ronin stickers. I have never seen a modified 2nd gen Xterra in my life...but that day there were so many! i couldn't believe it.

:roflmao: We are just cooler than the rest of the guys with stock wheels :cool:. Seriously tho, I think we caught alot of attention for that which was really cool.
Yeah, I had only seen one shrocked 2nd gen up to this point and he didn't even wheel it then. Your Frontier is the first 2nd gen I've seen that doesn't look like a friggin Ford Ranger. :crazy: If I was driving a super black X it would have made that picture even better! I just need to catch up to you in lift now so my rig doesn't look so small. :D

[the007forum]

ford ranger?

you will get there soon enough. what about all that graduation money? i figured i should spend some on my truck so that i can still get to school during blizzards
;)

but sometime this summer i will be selling my TCUCA's and Radflos. they are worth the extra money


here is you and the V8

[Midnightblue54]

Thanks for the pic. I just got $100 in a visa gift card yesterday that i'm gonna put towards some new rancho 5000's for the rear. As much as I'd like to put the 5125's in there, I don't exactly wanna spend nearly $200 on them.
Until I get a job and can afford it, I'm not so sure I am gonna have the cash to get the radflos and uca's off of you. We'll see I guess.

[Sully4x4]

Start saving up a bit...you'll be happy if you do.
