I'm just speculating on what it would take to do that trip from Denver. Moab is 6 hours from me. I most likely won't have my MJ done in time for next fall. Maybe 2022.

I don't think ill be able to finish finish mine (IDK if it will ever be "done") but moab only three hours away and would be fun and inspirational. PA seems really far away right now maybe 2022 for me. and will likely include the purchase of a flat bed trailer because god knows what would happen if I drove mine cross country. She don't need that kinda mileage on her rn
BeatCJ Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I may have try to put Moab 2022 on my calendar. It's only a 16 hour drive. Boise - Twin Falls the first night, then just another day.

I think that is the big one that many of us are planning to make it too. I lived in Reading PA for a couple years, but never made it to Carlisle for the Jeep Show - did hit the Bug Out one time. It's about a 11-12hr run for me now. I still have friends up there I need to go see... may be a plan (if we don't all die! lol

I know @Minuit is nearish to you and he plans to go, @Pete M will be coming most likely from Atlanta, @MiNi Beast plans on going from Michigan, and I am going from SW WI. It will be about 12 hours for me as well.

I can’t blame you. If we go, we will probably have a vehicle ready with a trailer.
MiNi Beast Posted November 24, 2020 Author Posted November 24, 2020 I'm down to drive my jeep but only if it was just MJ and I, then be no worries as i could take my time coming back. and who know maybe by then it just might just be the dog and I as i really don't like having more trucks then i can drive at one time.
89 MJ Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 It would be cool if we all camped at the same campground. We could probably scare all of the JKU overlanders with our MJs.

EvilMJ Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 I usually wheel what I drive, but then again I don't try to destroy my rig when I'm offroad. However, if I get the R380 in my Defender, maybe I could trailer the MJ up, then I'd have two rigs to wheel! lol (one for the wife). The MJ is impossible to use as a tow rig - rear springs too soft and rear bumper is too high. Speaking of springs, what's the best rear spring to get a good lift? Mine are only two leaf and they ride great. (no idea as to what they are) However, I have flatened/kinked them hauling too big of loads lately - 46 boxes of flooring was apparently not a good idea!

89 MJ Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 We really should try to put something together, at least for us here in the midwest to celebrate getting our trucks out of winter storage.
