We could use your help with the BAT Team at Cruise Moab! OK I really hope that we do *NOT* need your help and nobody will need our help! There are 3 areas we can use your help:

1. Please let me know if you have a trailer available at the event where we can locate and use it easily. I will have my trailer also, but occasionally we need to get a rig back to camp from the trailhead. If you are able to do the recovery as well, even better!

2. Please let me know if you would be available to run parts to anyone who needs them. This might be 2 miles away from the arena, or might be at the top of TOTW! I would like to get a list of phone numbers I can shoot out a group text to in the event we need a parts runner, or a rescue trailer, etc.

3. Spare Parts! At the CM Committee trailer packing party last weekend at Slee, we realized we had a big box of spare parts in the very overloaded CM trailer. I am currently in possession of the box and I would like to add more parts to it!! If you have anything to donate that might be of help to anyone who has broken down, please let me know! I will have the box at Cruise Moab and will have it somewhere easily accessible, and the trailboss of the day will know where it is. (Me on thursday, Lisa on Friday, Bub on Saturday) and of course Jolene will know everything. :) I can probably pick up parts before I leave Tuesday morning, but you could drop them off in either north denver or south denver, just let me know.

You all rock!! Thanks in advance and again I hope that we do not need any help!

FYI PLEASE sign up on the volunteer list, for the BAT and anything else that still has openings!!

Tim, et al - like most of us I carry tools and parts with with me, I try to carry unique thing that are likely to break, come lose and/or may not be easily sourced. Things like upper A arm nuts (special fine pitch threads), rear shackles washers & bolts, lower ball joints, I carry an extra CV shaft.
If there is break down of a later gen 4-Runner and especially Tacoma I might have something that can help.

This is your chance to fill those lifelong dreams you've had since childhood and become.....BATman!😜

Edit: but in all seriousness, this is an important group needing dedicated individuals. In the past when I lead the CM recovery team, I made multiple solo runs to bring parts to downed trucks during the event. Respect to those that are willing to volunteer for this.

We have someone broken down in Moab, Ryan Marley. He has a broken rear diff on a 92 80. Know anyone that has one laying around with stock gears in Denver or slc?
