Happy Monday! What are the minimum vehicle requirements for this adventure? I live in The SLC and my 2wd Westy is almost road worthy \:D/

Is there a site to review past pictures and info?

Bring any Bus and you are welcome. I’ve been running a 2wd Westy for years. Maybe my syncro will be ready this year but I like the taste of crow.

Registered!!! I'll be getting a check to Johnny soon. He's just a few miles from me in Salt Lake City. I have been to all of them except the one that was moved to the Labor Day weekend during Covid. Lots of good friends to see.

I will be receiving my new longblock and new Mansispeed EFI in a couple of weeks and it should be installed and running in a short time. No more Mass Air Flow sensor. That, along with my new Peloquin and rebuilt tranny should put the icing on the cake.

Registered! :D (edit: and paid... for 2 vans/drivers)

Now... coolant flush, oil change, fix auto trans leaks, and... Dear WBX, please hold out for one more road-tripping year. [-o<

I located an Instagram and a Facebook page for this event but has not been updated since 2024. I noticed many of the pictures on Instagram are Syncro's but will take your word on 2wd will do the trails. Are you the organizer?

How do you sign up? I can't find a link.

I am helping the organizer. Johnny Maw. He is very busy and hard to get a hold of so I sometimes am the public face.

And there are a ton of 2wd trails!

Check your emails. Johnny has emailed all past participants.

If you don’t have an email please email Johnny directly.

Lots of 2WDs make the event, including my own. There are, of course, 4WD-only trails (such as Hell's Revenge), but plenty of 2WD action in/around Moab.

I have observed that over the years, even the syncros are not doing the trails that will break things. 'Could be that as a group we are getting older, but it could also be that broken parts are expensive and it's a hassle to have to be rescued off the trails around Moab.

Just don’t follow Tom Ice and you’ll be fine says Joe Trussell…

I will personally sponsor you and the Mrs if necessary.

Hi - I attended Syncro Solstice about a decade ago. Would like to join this year. I check email to see if I had an invite, but couldn't find one. How can I sign up?

And open registration is now open!

Please do not hesitate if you want to attend. The event is limited to 50 vehicles by the BLM and early registration has about half filled the event in 5 days.

As in the past I have personally reserved Site D for the Wednesday night before and the Sunday night after the event for those that want to extend the fun. Details are in the form.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone there. :D

Now I HAVE to get started on the engine swap… :oops:
