The sooner we have dates the better!
I haven't been to CK5 in a while. I'll go check it out and see if they have dates yet...I assume we want to go when they do?

Yeah Burt.....it's kind of a rule, remember?

2002 -> We went for the first time and made a pledge to be there every 4 years....like some kind of Olympics, but with trucks.

2006 -> Went (had to rent a Jeep but it still counts!)

2010 -> Time to go again! Trying like crazy to get the truck finished so I don't have to ride shotgun, or rent another Jeep!!

Geoff, you can check the dates for previous years but I don't remember it ever being as early as August, at least not in recent memory. It seems like it's always been a September deal....

You may be right. Maybe it was in October one year?

My work schedule is switching to month to month rather than 4 weeks. So I just need to know the month.

Just in watching the dates from the last several years they keep moving the dates, it started in october, then it move to the end of september, next it fell on my birthday and this last year it was before my birthday. Going by their trends i would guess early september.

Hey Nate, are you bringing your wife & baby? My wife is not to sure about it. Wheelin all day is not realy her cup of tea, she likes it only a bit...8hrs in my K5 gives her a wierd look on her face heheheh

yep, they're coming. Bringing the camper as well. She might wheel some days and other days she won't. Mrs. Cracker and baby Cracker are coming as well and are in the same boat. Your wife and monkey should come!!!!

Based on those dates I’m thinking leaving CA on 9/4 (Sat) and getting into Moab </ST1:pon 9/5 (Sun) wheeling 9/6 (Labor day!!!) thru 9/11, leaving 9/12 (Sun) and getting back into CA on 9/13 (Mon).

Looks like the BBQ/Raffle/Awards is Friday night and not Saturday night. So that means we could leave on the 11th and be back home in CA on the 12th.....if we wanted to.

IMHO the best way to do this trip is weekend to weekend. When we did it in 2006 and we left on a Wednesday and got there Thursday and wheeled Fri/Sat/Sun and left on Mon and got home on Tuesday I felt like we drove WAY too much and wheeled WAY too little (4 days driving and 3 days wheeling...whats wrong with this ratio?:eek:). Doing the weekend to weekend thing means you get a nice 5 days of wheeling and you get some time to unwind in between the brutal 10 hour days of driving to get there. This year is going to be even more tiring as I'll have the camper on the back of the rig and a 15 mo old hellion in the back seat. I better start saving up for more JD right now. :crazy:

I seriously don't think this was operator error. If it broke when Ken was driving then it couldn't have been op. error. Cause we all know Ken drives like an old man!!!!! :tongue4:

12-29-2009, 04:25 PM

I wasn't suggessting operator error was the reason for the last transmission failing. I was simply suggesting not beating the new one in it's most vulnerable state with big weight behind it going up Tehachapi's or the like;)

Esteban86K5

12-29-2009, 05:03 PM

From Ken:
"Let everyone know I have requested space 182 for the Dodge and truggy, space 87 for Ken and Cabin 1 for the old fart at Slickrock campgrounds for 6th through the 12th of september. The guys from CK5 are making reservations now so I hope the guys can get their reservations in quickly. They probably only need a couple of spacesfor everyone. Maybe 180 and 181."

I called Slickrock to make my reservations....got a message saying they're closed for the winter and wouldn't be answering phone calls!!??? WTF???
How did Ken make his reservations? I looked at the online form and it doesn't appear to let you request a specific spot or even request one with full hook ups? help!

I filled out the form and am waiting for a reply now..It doesn't alow you to "pick" a site just the type you need...maybe that is step two?
Everyone that has a site confirmed should post up that number so we can try and group togeather as much as possiable :cool: if possiable?

How did it work J-Dad? Did they call or email you an availabity list or?

01-12-2010, 04:56 PM

Filled out the form and waiting on confirmation about site numbers. I put in the comments that I'd like to be adjacent or as close to tent site 182 as possible as other party members had that space reserved.

I'll update when I get my confirmation.

01-12-2010, 05:10 PM

ok. filled out their form and sent it to them. reservations were made for 9/5 thru 9/11. Requested space 86, 66, 67 or closest full hook up drive thru RV site to space 87.

skark_burmer

01-14-2010, 11:34 PM

no i have had Black Betty for a few years now. I normally use her for my annual bike ride in Iowa so i figure a quick trip to Moab should be no big deal.

Havent looked at the 1008 yet, been busy on the tow rig and the crawler.
I am thinking of just dropping the 208 and installing the 205 i have, but it needs a rebuild. So while im rebuilding it i still dont know if i want to go with a lomax or 203 doubler, they seem to be about the same $$ investment.

On the tow rig i got the motor pulled and wiring started on the new motor/trans combo. This weekend i'll tear into the 4L80e to see what is amiss so i might have it back on the road in enough time to drive it to texas on the 28th.

On the crawler i got the rear links welded in and then finished the truss on the front axle. unfortunately i need to cut the rear lower link support for the driveshaft for a little more clearance.

thats about it, you should stop by and work on my trucks for me. I could use the help. :p

01-15-2010, 05:12 PM

Actually its kind of a dog going up hills. 3 speeds and they are all the wrong ratio.
Fortunately all the passengers dont seem to care, they are too busy playing beer pong, foosball or some other game that would be boring without the addition of adult beverages.

Im reserved for the 5th - 11th but dont know what space i got yet.

As the date gets closer i'll know for sure but it looks like i will have room for people and luggage if others need a ride. I will likely only have 3 or 4 people onboard so there is lots of space available. I'll be mountain biking and dirt biking earlier in the week so if anyone is bringing a moto and knows their way around i could use a guide.

We trailer the rigs to most of the trails anyway. So no big deal if you do too. Would take a lot to get your rig streetable. So I wouldn't even worry about it.

Does it even matter in Moab? Being street legal. I know like Pismo you must have registration or green sticker, but Moab?

It's a one trip deal if you have the right paperwork, can cite the section they have to lookup to do it (it has instrucitons for even the dumb) and know the magic words so they aren't trying to create a new vehicle registration.

$51 every 2 years is pretty nice comparitively. My non-op for the Chevy says reg would have been $302 for a 13 y/o 1/2 ton truck. Nice CA, nice.

If we didn't want to leave our rigs out there overnight, which I particularly do not want to do, we could drive out there (either end) unload and take the trailers back to SlickRock and catch a ride back with one of the street legal rigs.

That's me, Kyle, Nate, Ken.

Nate and I keep saying we're going to, but we haven't actually sat down and started going through what days are what. I would absolutely love to have convenient vehicle 'issues' that force us to spend the evening out in the Utah wilderness.

Getting the tow rigs back to camp for the night would be most excellent.

Put this on the list of items to discuss while hunting coons in my back yard or driving to pick up milly.

What's the word Kevin, RB, and Jason? You think you can come along? If you can do without your rides for a few month's I'll tow them out when I come, some how. :poke:

There's a G/N car hauler at the Chrome Shop Mafia for sale for 6200. It may be able to carry 3 K5s. Then put my trailer behind it and we could get everyone out there. Nate how do the club funds look? :rofl:

can anyone recommend or link me to one of the nearby "cheaper" motels. I am trying for a cabin, but want to look at my options.

There is a motel 6 in town but it is more than double what a cabin costs.

Yes...yes...and YES!!!!

Tow rigs back to camp, Trifecta both ways skipping all the dirt roads at the end, and camping out in the sticks(or rocks) sounds f$&@ing AWESOME!!!!:mrhumpy:

I think you guys will have a great time and that will give me a couple of days to disconnect from the trailer and Truggy so I can see the town and surrounding areas. I can also load a bunch of you in the dodge and shuttle to and from camp as needed. Just make sure trip is not Friday and Saturday - Friday is the Bar-B-Que and Saturday is Gold Bar Rim w/ CK5.

So do you guys have an updated departure,arrival,and wheelin schedule??

IF I can pull this off money wise and still have at least three vacation days come Sept. ,I may be able to pull this off.

I guess I would be making last minute reservations or just showing up and seeing what I can get because I wont know whats up til August some time.

For me, my camp reservation starts on Sept 6th Monday, I think some are arriving on Sunday 5th.
My plan was to use Saturday 4th to pack up & load up..get some rest and hit the road WAY early Sunday morning like 4am, arrive some time Monday 6th morning/after noon ish to Moab..wheel Tues Wed Thurs Fri head back to Cali Sat 11th after pack up and get home some time Sunday.
This is a work in progress plan so...not solid.

So that is Sunday to Sunday gone and Monday is a Holliday so only 4 days vacation are needed...

I'll gladly take credit for that. I'm planning to leave on Saturday with Nate and whoever else is caravaning then and arriving Sunday afternoon/evening (9/5).

And what if I cant get in at Slick Rock?

Where else is there to stay around there?

There's another camp ground right next door to Slickrock that's, as I hear it, more accepting of boisterous activities and late night shenanigans. I don't remember what it's called though.

To make a ressie at Slick Rock yu only need pay for the fist night,,the rest is on departure..just so you know. I think is was 30 or 35 bucks.

FRIZZLEFRY

03-19-2010, 10:10 PM

... hit the road WAY early Sunday morning like 4am...

Ya know if ya leave your house at 4am we could easily be in Moab early Sunday evening :toothless:

FRIZZLEFRY

03-19-2010, 10:10 PM

I went solo last time south and up through Vegas.For me to caravan with you guys it would have added two + hours to my trip both ways.

So I just sent Slick Rock an email for the 6th thru 10th.I need to leave Moab the morning of the 11th around 7 or 8am and should be home around 9pm.

I guess I will talk to Mrs.Frizz about this when she gets home :p

I'm off work 9/6-9/13.

At this point I can be there 9/5 but we've have reservations for 9/6 (I had planned on rolling in early morning like I always done).

I'll leave early Sunday morning. I may get home late Sunday night so I took Monday off just for fun.

Is the PacFab crew coming?

WOW….

<O:p</O:pDamn, I leave for an absolutely crazy bachelor party weekend up in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comhttp://www.norcalbigdawgs.net/ /><st1:PlaceName alt=</st1:PlaceName>South <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Lake</st1:PlaceType> and I come back to this.

<O:p</O:pRight on!!!

<O:p</O:pGlad to hear you’ll be making it out Frizz. Now we just need to get Jason out there……<O:p

</O:pKyle had it correct, we’re leaving the bay area on the 4th and getting there the 5th and then leaving for home either the 11th or 12th. Not sure which route we’re taking though. With Cracker and Co. not in Vegas anymore and Team Willyswanter not heading out there on the 5th I’m not sure if we really need to go the southern route anymore. I actually thought the <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Northern Route</st1:address></st1:Street> was a little more scenic. Something about driving through the Salt Flats of Utah watching the sun rise and the awesome mountains south of <st1:City w:st="on">Salt Lake City</st1:City></ST1:pl was pretty damn cool.

<O:p</O:pGuess we need to figure out which route we’re going to take….we’ve got some time though.

<O:p</O:pWho else is leaving the 4th besides Kyle and me?

From CK5 - Trophy given out at Bar-B-Q the night of the 10th

Jason Payne Innovative Truck Trophy

After the sudden passing of Jason Payne in August 2007, some of his friends within the ColoradoK5.com website community wished to begin a yearly award in his honor. Jason was a regular attendee of the Blazer Bash event from its beginning so it was only fitting to honor his memory with a trophy presented each year at Blazer Bash. Jeff Perkins out of Las Vegas, Nevada spearheaded the project by designing and assembling the trophy.
Jason was always modifying and improving his truck, with a new, innovative project in planning at all times. The Jason Payne Innovative Truck Trophy is meant to honor that progressive wheeling spirit in others. Each year, at Blazer Bash in Moab, Utah, the participants vote for the vehicle they feel most embodies an “innovative” truck. The traveling trophy returns each year to Blazer Bash to begin a new year with another innovative truck and owner.

we're leaving early the morning of the 4th. I'm guessing (hoping?) we'd be on the road from the bay area between 6am-8am. If we take the northern route (which right now I'm pretty sure we are) we'd be going "that way". So it's conceivable we could meet up with you. THe con is off hwy 50 and we'd be on hwy 80 so you'd have to make your way over to meet us. Worst case, you could meet up with us at our stop for that night in Wendover NV.
