View Full Version : Easter Jeep Safari
broncojared 02-29-2004, 04:04 AM Who is headed to Moab for this glorious Easter weekend this year? Just wondering what rigs I might happen to encounter. I will be sporting a Toyota Camry and riding in my friend wrangler :brownbag (400, 11 lift, 38's, 17 bolt rear, 44 front so its pretty bad) but I am looking for broncos while I am there that might have a similar setup as I am working on.
Rick3373 02-29-2004, 04:31 PM I'm from Moab, grew up there & still have family & friends who live there. I refuse to be within 200 miles during Jeep Safari. Too many asshats overall & generally just a frustrating experience for me.
Monte 02-29-2004, 10:04 PM i'll be there Wednesday night until Sunday. I have a 1981 black 8in with full cage, I'll be with my buddy who has a yellow 79 with 38in swampers.
TTBlows 03-01-2004, 01:31 PM I'll be there Monday 4/5 only, assuming I get a spot on Pritchett Canyon. Sent in my registration the other day.
We try to go for like one day each year, but I'm with Rick - it's too much of a zoo.
broncopro 04-10-2007, 09:17 AM If anyone has FSB Moab pics/video or any Moab pics/video at all please share them over at www.MOABSAFARI.com . We need to show how capable Bronco's are in the Moab arena.
The Dude 04-10-2007, 11:52 PM A friend I work with has his tube buggy sponsored by our company (Colorado Machinery) and he was there from thursday-sunday. He's got some awesome pics

B-Rads B-Ronk 04-13-2007, 12:06 AM I was there but I wound up being at potato salad all weekend. It was cool until we had to go to the hospital.

:shocked do tell :shocked
B-Rads B-Ronk 04-13-2007, 02:37 AM Well my buddies buddy jumped off the waterfall near potato salad and had to land in a 4'X4' area. Well he was real drunk and jumped from about 25' and made it most of the way except his face. When he hit the water he was unconsious(sp) and got sucked to the bottom into a underwater tunnel. They finally found him after about 2 mins, they brought him to the top and he was turnin blue and had no pulse. We finally got his pulse back and got him to the hospital, which after they stablized him life flighted him to Grand Junction, CO where he is still in a coma but off of the life support. He cannot talk but he can write down what he wants and talk that way. My heart sank when I heard the EMS guys say "he's dead", even though I had never really met this guy before I couldnt stop cryin with and for his family. It was a pretty sad day.

Do you think he would put some pics up over there.

Brad, I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope everything turns out okay. Recoveries from tragic things like this these days are nothing short of miracles with todays advances in medicine. I hope the docs can help him make a full recovery.
That was mentioned here (http://moabsafari.blinxproductions.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=221) and details were fuzzy. Do you mind if I quote your story over there?
B-Rads B-Ronk 04-17-2007, 12:52 AM Yea you can. From what I hear he is doing great, and is expected to come home soon. BTW I may be movin up to the SLC area (Im workin at 600 N.) the drive is goin to kill me from Orem to 600 N. and back every day. So I may be up there soon. Oh and we need to all get together again in the AF canyon and do a campout.
broncopro 04-30-2007, 07:21 AM Good to hear that he's doing better. Definitely a yes on the AF camp out.
B-Rads B-Ronk 05-06-2007, 09:38 PM Well it looks as though the Bronco will be together next weekend. So I wanna plan a trip to AF canyon soon, I will need to plan in advance since I work the swing shift 2PM-10PM. So lets get something together and hopefully get better attendence. I am thinkin of makin it a campin trip; Firday to Saturday or Saturday to Sunday. So lets plan something. Oh and sorry for the extreme case of hyjackin your thread Jared but this is the perfect place to get people that are close together. Again I am sorry. :beer
