FJ cruiser trail team @ The Cliffs, IL. 10-20

4rnr · 09-18-07, 04:42 PM

The FJ cruiser trail team (Central) will be running the Cliffs again. Last spring we had 26 rigs in 2 weeks notice (16 of them were FJC's) So lets beat that trip. All rigs welcome.

October 20th @ http://thecliffsinsaneterrain.com/

That is all.

Should be peak colors that weekend

BTW how can I edit the title that shows on the board?...

Gumby · 09-19-07, 06:41 AM

You ask the great and powerful Gum.

racedirt1 · 10-04-07, 02:15 PM

I am about 75% sure I can make it. Always seems to be good time down there.

amp2oo1 · 10-04-07, 07:50 PM

Is their a wide variety of trucks at this, or mostly built truck?

I was at the Chicago Jamboree with my black 05 tacoma, and made it through pretty well. Now I have my sliders on, and lift going on this weekend and want to test it out. We only got through #1 last time, but I hear #3 is not too bad to run with a lesser modified truck.

Im supposed to take the motorcycle safety class in DeKalb that weekend, but I am not 100% sure I will be going to that.

We made it through #3 that Sunday with the flamed flat bed and came out with no damage. We will be coming up for this event as well.
I hope the fall colors will be near or at their peak,shoud be beutiful.

Gumby · 10-06-07, 06:31 AM

My wife wants to bring her un-modded FJC again. We did 1 and 3 last time. If it stays dry big chunks of 10 might be do-able as well.

4rnr · 10-08-07, 06:42 PM

I would like to split into 2 groups. One doing easy trails and one doing intermediate. Amp, your taco sounds like it will do just fine with the intermediate crew. The intermediate group will probably run #10 and maybe #7 (down hill). The easy run is good for anyone!

"Good for anyone"........does that include Jen in the 62??
Wheel it!! It breaks, fix it!!

I should just shut up since I can't make this one.

Cruiser Clint · 10-14-07, 05:41 PM

who else is going to make it? I'm looking forward to a (hopefully) dry Cliffs weekend.

Dry not likely but good dirty fun? YESSSSSSSSS

GoISU · 10-19-07, 02:00 AM

Looking forward to it. Always a good time at the Cliffs. If it is wet we will just need a little help from our modified friends. See you all out there!

4rnr · 10-19-07, 08:25 AM

I just talked to the cliffs and they said the trails arent that muddy even though they have gotten a significant amount of rain this week

Gumby · 10-19-07, 08:37 AM

Workin' like a dog to get the pig ready. Just gotta make and install new front springs, fix the shifter and the lockers, and finish these damn beadlocks.

The wife needs to work so no FJC. The boy also is working so no Bronco.

OLDNSLO · 10-19-07, 05:16 PM

I'll be there with the fam....I know I missed the badlands but I'll be there for sure this time!

PhilC64 · 10-20-07, 08:47 PM

Big thanks to 4Rnr. Gumby, Rooster and Tom from the Cliff's for putting this together! Boat loads of fun with minimal slop to contend with! There's some pics in the Blue Room http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forum...tml#post654384

I'd post 'em here but ain't too sure if they would all fit!

My condolences on the Bronco's trans Gumby. Pass the "curse" onto someone deserving!

My son did it. I had him tow the pig home and then come back for me and his Bronco. He somehow managed to take 5.5 hours to do the 90 mile round trip and not follow my very explicit directions NOT to try to back up the trailer.

joez · 10-21-07, 08:52 PM

Wish i could have made it, looks like you guys had a good time.

Todd, im suprised you havent killed somebody over your Tundra yet. I would have if it happened to my dodge, and its 11 years old!
