Hi All,

This is my first full season back in Utah unfortunately (or fortunately) I will be heading to Moab that Saturday afternoon although I won't be doing any major trails. I am VERY interested in getting to know the community and go out on trails. Will there me another training day soon? Or alternatively I could come on Friday and leave Saturday 1:00pm-2:00pm. Would it be okay to come by for part of it?

Hi All,

Do we have a schedule up yet? Looks like I don't need to leave for Moab till around 4:00pm on Saturday. I will either be able to come into Friday night for very early Saturday Morning and would be able participate in more of the activities depending on the schedule.

I won't make Friday night, I'm really glad you have the tread lightly planned for Saturday. I'm sure I could learn something everytime i hear it. I will be there bright and early Sat morning.

We plan on having all of the classes taught outside, under a semi-permanent tent (like the ones they use at Harbor Freight parking lot sales). The weather looks good, but be prepared for anything.

If the weather gets downright nasty, we will most likely move to one of the indoor garages. We're finalizing the details right now, but plan on the outdoor tent. I'll keep you posted as we get more info.


Invite all your friends who are new to 4x4's, it's a great way for them to learn how to recreate safely and responsibly.

I'm thinking about bringing my stock 4runner. It's 4x4 with rear eLocker but I'm new to the whole 4x4 scene. I probably won't be able to make it Friday but I can be there all day Saturday.

Great, I'll pencil you in. Your stock 4runner will do great out there. if you watch the video link on post #1, there's a stock runner in there.


And welcome to RME, it's a great place here.
