Mike, I registered 1+3 so I'm sure you'll have a spot to ride.

I can drive Woodro's 40 in the hopes of rolling it

and you can drive my 80.

AJ,
I have a little surprise for you

I registered for 9am each day for difficult, but since I am driving down on the 5th (likely hung over) I will probably miss the 9am ride on the 5th. Maybe I will hop on later...

BTW saturday the 5th is "ride til 9pm" in the park!! Though I think attica is light till almost 10pm. It will still be nice for us campers.

smtyblt · 06-24-08, 04:00 PM

Woody if I fly out can I drive the forty and lead an hard core group?

Travis@DOI · 06-26-08, 03:46 PM

open until 9pm? Damn i gotta get the junk ready. Is there still no alcohol allowed in the campground? Anyone staying at the campground down the road?

Usually all of us stay at summers "down the road" about 5 miles. I will be at summers.

Travis@DOI · 06-27-08, 03:27 PM

Well summers it is. Hopefully i run into some of you on the trail before the campground.

4rnr · 06-27-08, 10:11 PM

After talking to cruiser Clint and Gumby today it looks like I will be heading down on friday afternoon and setting up camp. Hopefully I wont regret skipping the 4th at home...though I figure Indianians should have more 4th of july fun then us Chicagoans, were they have outlawed all but the match!

joez · 06-29-08, 10:07 PM

I registered for saturday morning. Ill be caravaning down friday afternoon with John and camping at summers, should be a good weekend for wheeling.

Cruiser Clint · 06-30-08, 06:18 PM

Since we are wheeling on a mysterious off-site private land, I just want to clarify. Where's the rally site on Saturday? It seems that most of us are camping at Summers the night before, so are we supposed to meet at the park or are the teams coming to the campgrounds? What time should we be ready? Is it Saturday yet?

Put a rebuild on that motor yet?

toyota should send a team to autopsy that thing and find out what the Hell makes it stand up to that kind of abuse.

Pfft, that thing doesnt need any rebuilds. I think you've just forgot what its like to wheel a toyota motor

Travis@DOI · 07-01-08, 09:59 PM

If anyones got any ih8mud stickers they could bring along sell let me know i need a few. Campsite beers or cash for trade eh eh any takers

woody · 07-02-08, 09:30 AM

find me...believe I'll have one or two handy....hehe

4rnr · 07-02-08, 10:08 AM

Looks like Gumby, Joez, maybe Tom, and I will be heading down to summers on friday afternoon to hook up with the hoosier boys.

Travis@DOI · 07-02-08, 02:52 PM

Never met you before woody, not sure what you look like, but i;ll be in a loud black 85 truggy and hopefully not working on it. I hope to make it but i got alot to work left to get it there. Planning on being there Saturday morning. Anyone camping at summers saturday as well?

we all are

woody · 07-02-08, 05:11 PM

got my 40 assembled and loaded just a few minutes ago...even washed it

Chris Nelson will be using it all day Saturday and Sunday for his winching and recovery demonstrations....figger there aren't many other FJ40's in the country that have been winched upright as much as mine....lol

75 is stayin home....bummed, but I've only got 2 places on the trailer...considered having it driven down, but no time to get registration started for it....GONNA drive it some next week tho, can't wait!

the 80 is gettin trailered down as well...brakes are mushy (which is why no one is driving it), exhaust is rotted and makin noise, etc....HATE the fact that it's been sittin outside for the past 5 months, and rarely driven.... It's going to also be on 'display' as the feature vehicle for the eShots photos....

Headin out tomorrow morning...Holiday Inn in Lafayette for the weekend....

is the un-official prime-rib night gonna be on Friday or Saturday?

(this was an option for coming down too...almost installed a winch on the 75 to have it for the recovery demo!)

Where's the rally point for Sat a.m.?

Travis@DOI · 07-02-08, 09:51 PM

Yea where are you meeting saturday a.m. I know i'll end up stuck in the line waiting forever. Do we still have to pay entrance fee if we registered for the toyota meet? I'm looking to get some good video of toyota's. Here's what i'll be drivin

Niner · 07-03-08, 08:28 AM

I living large and staying at Historic Hotel Attica.

Extra Bed for anyone interested, bring your own ear plugs.

Benji · 07-03-08, 05:13 PM

I'll be at Summers on Friday night. Let me know if there is anything anyone needs/wants. I will be bringing Upland beers (Bloomington, IN homebrew).
I have extra tents. Do we want to to do a cookout or anything for the 4th?

Fireworks?

Booze?

Steaks?

snacks?

What should we plan?

Cheers,
ben

Travis@DOI · 07-03-08, 08:07 PM

pony keg of oberon sounds good. Benji you can bring me a couple of steaks and upland's i honestly wont mind.haha. I think were bringing some venison steaks yummm. How about planning on a good ass time saturday night at summers.

Polak · 07-05-08, 06:24 PM

Had a great time! Great to see everyone again. See you at the Hoe Down!!!

Benji · 07-06-08, 04:50 PM

Had a great time. Thanks woody, trail team, and new trail team member Jim.

pell53 · 07-06-08, 07:53 PM

Had a good time as well. Not sure when it will be, but I'm definitely looking forward to the next time I can make it out. Hats off to the Trail Teams for putting this event together!

Gumby · 07-07-08, 05:46 AM

Good times, bad pig.

At least I found the problem and it's an easy fix. I'll drop in a new injector today and probably change the plugs and oil after dumping a full tank down in one day.
