Announcing 2012 Dates: 15th Annual Grand Slam West—June 7-10, 2012

Please remember to support our sponsors!

Grand Slam West is a self-organized informal gathering of internet friends that are Grand Cherokee owners who want to use their Jeeps as they were intended to drive responsibly public trails on public lands. Grand Slam West is self-organized for fun. Participation has changed from being free like previous year to having a small fee due to permit and insurance requirements for the BLM; still it is wheeling in Moab at its best and at your own risk.

Look here for pictures and info from last years (2010) event (2011). Scroll down and read the threads.

Fee information: probably still $30.00 - The fee is due to the insurance requirement that is needed to get the BLM permit. The fee we are charging covers one driver/vehicle. Damage to your vehicle and body injury are possible and is strictly each driver’s responsibility. Each driver is responsible for their own vehicle and personal insurance and there are no services provided by any individual, group, or organization; the insurance required by the BLM covers BLM losses if any occur. It is a good idea to have a road service assistance plan, i.e. AAA Plus or equivalent. In prior years we had vehicle roll-overs and flops, a broken drive shaft or two, broken axles, blown radiator, several flat tires and plenty of scratches, dings, and dents. Repairs are the sole and exclusive responsibility of the vehicle owners (but many participants and organizers have a LOT of experience fixing stuff and we have gotten everyone back to Moab using trail fixes or towing).

Updated Info for 2012:

Once again we had excellent event this year (2011) with a good turn out and excellent sponsor/vendor support and prizes.  Look for a few changes for next year’s event such as not needing to mail in your waiver as well as the extra trail day on Thursday.  Most likely we will run more of the popular trails twice during the event days to reduce trail pressure on them.

Be sure to support this year’s vendor sponsors for your builds and repairs this year and keep checking for next year’s sponsor once we start building next years event. Make those room reservations!
