XPLORx4 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I participated in goneMOAB in 2003, and became the first R50 to cross the Golden Crack. In 2005, I returned to Moab with friends to visit Arches and Canyonlands, and camped in Devil's Kitchen on the Elephant Hill trail. It seems like every other year, I somehow make it out to Moab, so I might as well make an appearance at goneMOAB '07. I'll have a lot of new mods that are gonna need a workout. Anyone else want to represent the R50 contingency in the Nissan community? . . . PS. I probably won't do it unless there's gonna be some kind of R50 presence.

XPLORx4 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 What piece do you need? It's sorta beat up, but something might be salvageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 i would like to get both chrome side pieces, but i really only need just the passenger side, if both are good ill just get em both. Also, i dont plan on getting a custom rear bumper likes yours anytime soon, but i saw the rollers you put on your hitch and your hitch seems very simular to mine, i just have the uhaul one. Where did you get those rollers and how did all that work out for you? Just tryin to get my truck ready for Gone 07'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonianbrat Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Well I would like to say I will be at Gonemoab07 but with the wife and kid it is kinda hit or miss whether I can get away for extended periods of time. I do have some more vacation time I need to take though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) i would like to get both chrome side pieces, but i really only need just the passenger side Well, unfortunately the passenger side chrome piece is slightly damaged. It's got a little bit of a dent/dimple in it from when I backed up into a big rock. :sniff: I can take a pic of it and you can decide if you still want it. Re: the hitch modifications and rollers, I had Roger (4crawler) do the work. I have the U-haul hitch as well. I got the rollers here.

nissandoms47 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 ya if you could take a pic of both sides thats fine, i would rather have a dented one then a rusted through one! theres a huge gaping hole in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy98 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I more than likely will be heading down this year for Gone. I would love to set up camp with you and Alex, and run the trails together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I would love to make it. Now, if someone can just convince RIT to change the academic schedule so that Gone doesn't fall during Finals Week, convince the New York Lottery to draw my numbers on the Pick 6, and convince my family that driving 2700 miles each way to go wheeling for a week is, in fact, a good idea, then, sure, I'll be there.

SaKaNa Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 If there werent so many things $#&%ed up on my Pathy, I'd do it. We should have a "fix sakana's pathy" fund.... You know, figure out WTF that knocking noise up front is, get me a working speedometer/odometer, get me a lift, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, figure out WTF that knocking noise up front is, get me a working speedometer/odometer, get me a lift, etc. Guys, it's not like this event is next week. It's 5 months away! That should be enough time for many of you to plan your time off, save money, and get your trucks ready. You don't need to have 6" of lift and huge tires to participate, you know. There are plenty of great trails in Moab that a stock, or near-stock R50 can handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 You don't need to have 6" of lift and huge tires to participate, you know. Not that anyone would ever do that to an R50, you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissandoms47 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 hey dean, did you ever get a chance to snap a pic of that bumper piece? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaKaNa Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Well no need to worry about that knocking noise, its mysteriously gone after some crazy trails. Now I definitely have wobble in the steering. I'll SEE about going, I can definitely take off from work, but its more of a funding thing :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaKaNa Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 You know what would be nice, if this werent 2100 miles from my house. How many tanks of gas / days do you think that is? To me, it seems like 3 days / 10 refills of gas each way to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) ah for some reason gmail thought you were spam, i got your email tho. both sides look good, when you said dent i thought you meant like a huge one, those pieces are in a lot better shape then mine.. how much are you lookin at getting them for?

To me, it seems like 3 days / 10 refills of gas each way to me. 2100 miles / 65 mph avg = ~32 hours, which includes breaks for food and gas 2100 miles / 18mpg = 116 gal * 2.25/gal = $262 116 gal / ~19gal/tank = 6 fillups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 You get 18mpg Dean? That's about the best I've heard of anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
