2012 Ouray FSJ Invasion - July 18-20, 2012

[bigun]

I am still trying to at least get there this year.

[Mark Wilde]

I hope you can make it, Charlie. I'm out for this year. We will be moving to Washington and there's just no way. I'll have just driven the Jeep from Colorado to Washington and there's no way I can afford the gas to drive back!

Did you warn them about the wildlife in those back sites?

Hush it's more fun when they find out about it on their own LOL. Man I hope the move works out for you.

[will e]

Any time, I Liked it last year, but I will probaly be deployed this time next year so dont worie.

Yeah, and I think 2 years in a row kinda gives him squatters rights.


I am also heading up on the 15th. The exact route is not yet determined. I am pulling my truck on a trailer and will have the wife with me. If I can hook up with folks on the road that's cool but I won't try to subject others to my schedule. We might be going slower than most with the trailer and all.

After 4 years of camping in Washington I know about wildlife...pluss i heard the storys

Hey guys - yeah, it looks like my GF and I are a 'go' for this year. We have spot 49 as confirmed via Dave at the KOA. Sorry resbum couldn't make it though

Looks like we will leave Longmont CO early morning on Wednesday the 18th and driving straight through to Ouray. I dunno what route we will take and haven't even looked at a map. If we run solo, we will prolly take Devils punchbowl / Taylor pass on our way.

If anyone else is heading out that way on Wednesday morning, lemme know. I dunno when Scott will be leaving...

Gonna try and take the old Honcho down there. It just got back from towing my sandrail/quad to the Walden dunes last week and Moab last month. Also been driving it to work these past few days. It's running pretty good. TBI is going on soon, but if for some reason that doesn't work out, the Holley TA will work perfect. Only thing I gotta do it is change all the fluids. That NV4500 is rattling really, really bad but still shifts OK. Maybe I'll throw some actual GM nv4500 fluid it rather than Amsoil (rated specifically for nv4500). I've read that maybe the Amsoil isn't actually rated for the nv4500 even though they say it is...

The only thing I run in the NV4500 is the factory stuff......heard nothing but stories like yours if one doesn't.....gonna take you up on that offer for the Holley if you remember to bring the parts.....just let know what you need.me to bring....besides the Cherokee...;-)

[Blake]

Yeah cool.

Know that I"m NOT selling my Holley TA, but I will definitely help others tune theirs.

Lemme know what you've done to it so far. What jets, squiters, power valve, springs, etc.

[COLOFIREMAN]

I knew that Blake....lol....will do.

If you can make it Poncha at least I can run with you to Ouray to make sure you get there. Wouldn't be the same without ya!

[COLOFIREMAN]

I hope you can make it, Charlie. I'm out for this year. We will be moving to Washington and there's just no way. I'll have just driven the Jeep from Colorado to Washington and there's no way I can afford the gas to drive back!

My best friend lives outside Everett....He also loves the FSJ's. I'm PM you his number if want.

Mark, we'll miss you, but you know you'll be there in at least one way--on a shirt, famous guy!

Have you thought about alternatives? Such as storing your Wag somewhere in Colorado and then either flying back to CO or driving an econobox rental one-way, then take the Wag to Ouray, then drive it back to your new home in Washington? It would make for an epic trip. Where in WA are you moving to? PM me if you prefer. I am actually jealous since I've always wanted to see the PNW but haven't had the chance. It may not be a good idea for me since I THINK I'd be even worse about not wanting to go home like I am each year in Ouray!

Dude If I was still up in WA i would say ya...but at last I now live in the Peoples Socialistic State of California

[fulsizjeep]

Blake, you told me I was at the front of the line on that TA. C'mon now...
