From Denver we are limited to 12 rigs and I don't expect it to fill, but the sooner you commit, the sooner the universe aligns in support!
You got gears and a V8 in that 91 to drive those 37's?

Nope, just a lot of patience! !
you might like gears on a couple of the trails. steep passes suck with a dog engine and redcone and mosquito will do a better job keeping your seatcushions out of your butt with gears to slow you down...redcone for the potential roll off the trail factor and mosquito for it's bounce factor.
Dog engine? I just passed half of the traffic on I-70 eastbound Floyd Hill and reached the top at 55mph. On 35" Swampers and a hot day, no less. The 3FE is NOT a dog engine. But then, you already knew that, didn't you Ige?
Before that, it was big fun today wheeling Bill Moore Lake and then down Red Elephant Hill with Alex Bingham, son of former Rising Sunner James Bingham and his friend Will who now wrenches at Slee Off Road.

I'd have to say I'm mixed about calling the 3fe a dog engine. Dog is too powerful of a word to call it. I'll be running out of Grand Junction for the trip and hope that I don't slow too many people down. I've got my 3fe pushing 39.5's using 5.29 gears and she does okay.

Only one way to find out .... hit the trail.
I have to imagine it won't be an issue on the trails. We may have a few short steep climbs, and we will be at some high elevations, but no extremely technical trail surfaces.
We will have some sections of highway at which we'd hopefully have regular highway cruising speeds of 65-75. No speed contests but if someone needs to cruise at 55mph then a 600 mile trip to SLC may be pushing it in a week. The biggest highway day will be a 250 mile Thursday after a portion of the Kokopelli trail. We will go from near Westwater, UT to near the Little Sahara Recreation Area. Mostly flat, only a few climbs. No hurry and if someone really wanted to go fast or slow we can find ways to let people travel the pavement at their own paces. On the trail we must be a team. Feel free to PM or e-mail me to discuss.

Four days out. Is the truck ready? What work must get done before I go? What can wait?
Probably common thoughts to the 8 of us meeting 8:00 AM Monday for the 5 day tour to Cruiserfest.
Its all going to work out fine. Time to start thinking of wide open spaces, mountain tops and desert canyons, camp coffee and campfires.

That is a sweet fleet of 'Cruisers! I doubt the Brown Bomber would've been able to keep up. Looking good! Super jealous...
