"Join us July 5 and 6 at Badlands Offroad Park in Attica, Indiana.

The Trail Teams invite you to come out to the trails and experience the thrill of 4-wheeling. If you are a Toyota owner, perspective owner, off-road novice or die hard ‘wheeler this event is for you.

The Trail Teams will be on hand to lead 4-wheeling expeditions, conduct introductory 4x4 classes, and allow you to get behind the wheel of Toyota’s latest 4x4 vehicles."

----

We've 'reserved' the offsite 200 acres for this event....hope a few folks can make it out!!

4rnr · 06-13-08, 03:10 PM

whats offsite 200 acres did you reserve?...for what?... camping? wheeling?

Oh and Ill be there

woody · 06-13-08, 03:14 PM

make sure you click the link and register then

4rnr · 06-13-08, 03:19 PM

Oh.....ummm.....glad I clicked.

Maybe ill be down there....

Polak · 06-13-08, 03:39 PM

I'm there!

This ought to get me off my a$$ and extend those brake lines!

Gumby · 06-13-08, 04:20 PM

Registration link went all wonky when I tried to register.

I signed the pig up, but the wife might want to bring her FJC.

Where's the off site? Troy's place?

Did Troy sell his property with the Badlands property?

Cruiser Clint · 06-14-08, 06:25 AM

I registered yesterday, and am looking forward to the event. I have to get off my ass and fix my GSMTR issues now!

Which Team(s) is going to be there? Is Crawford's going to be the campground?

Clint

woody · 06-14-08, 07:19 AM

All three teams will be present...we guide a total of 15 small groups per day in 2 hour loops - believe the ride schedule is online...the 'stock' runs are guided by the Tundra's, Tacoma's for the intermediate, and FJ's for the harder ones.

Believe this is on the offsite property behind Troy's...no clue exactly tho, I wasn't there for the scouting....

They have us put up in a hotel, believe in Lafayette....wish we were in Attica (and wish we were camping), but the option wasn't offered...

My FJ40 will be there for their winching/recovery demonstrations, and I hope to have the HZJ75 there to show off too

Benji · 06-14-08, 07:42 PM

I'm registered.

I am looking forward to this.

Thank the trail team woody.

toyman317 · 06-16-08, 05:05 AM

Sounds like a blast. I'm in.

Cruiser Jimmy · 06-16-08, 04:26 PM

I'm there. Registered as well.

Gappy · 06-16-08, 06:19 PM

Bad timing for me, that is the weekend we will be returning from a 2 wk camping trip out west. We would have to hustle on the return trip to make this event. Hmmm........Badlands South Dakota or Badlands Attica IN!!!?!! There is no wheelin for me in South Dakota!
I hope to see y'all!!

Hondo352 · 06-16-08, 07:14 PM

Any camping nearby,other than the Badlands parking lot?

woody · 06-16-08, 07:16 PM

Summers campground is about 10 miles away, or the campground at the entrance....unless the new owners have changed things, there is no on-grounds camping..

Hondo352 · 06-16-08, 07:31 PM

Thanks Woody. Will check out Summers

PhilC64 · 06-16-08, 08:49 PM

Timing is a little funky for me but then again it is the Badlands. Decisions, decisions....

4rnr · 06-16-08, 11:05 PM

Ok this is what I plan to do, im pretty sure gumby is on the same page. (this is if I go)

I will plan for a badlands weekend...camp at summers, wheel the badlands... but I will show up for my 2 hours of this gathering at whatever time I register for...If I have to register for a time, or can I just go when all the other cool kids go

(woody?) I dont want to be the only guy on the trail with a bunch of green horns.

joez · 06-17-08, 12:39 PM

If this unknown offsite property includes M.I. then i will call in sick to go.

with an FJ Cruiser on 33 AT's? good luck with that....lol

zebrabeefj40 · 06-17-08, 06:23 PM

So I'm working my way through the registration form and check the vehicle requirements. I don't see a spot there for non-street legal truggy-type rides.

Does that mean my FJ40 on one tons and 42's isn't welcome?

Thanks,
Nick

Uh....come again there Woody? HZJ75? Your's? I might have to fly out for this shit and ride shotgun in someone's rig just to see this sucker.

-o-

woody · 06-17-08, 11:28 PM

if I own it by then, and am able to bring it, it will NOT be for trail use...

besides, I'll be there working for the Trail Team, only driving my team FJC...

4rnr · 06-18-08, 08:40 AM

And who will be driving the 40?

Most likely Todd, his pig has been protesting life latetly!

Travis@DOI · 06-19-08, 03:38 PM

Not that anyone knows me, but i'll be bringing my 1985
truggy along. I;m not a big fan of large group trail rides because i;m impatient and like going as fast as possible, but I look forward to meeting up with a bunch of yota guys.

Onur,

You can ride with me anytime. I'll let you wheel my rig too if you can make it.

Like you couldn't shotgun w/ someone.

Gumby · 06-21-08, 08:35 AM

Just drive AJ's 40.

I'm pretty sure he's forgotten how since he got the 80 any way.

cruiser larry · 06-21-08, 11:08 AM
