Well, I had a blast thanks to everyone for coming out. I also thought there would be more FJC's. I think the weather changed their mind a little. It was very sloppy. I was hoping for dry conditions so everyone could venture into the interior of the park. Maybe next year.

A HUGE thanks to Tom. Theres no better trail guide than the man who created the Cliffs. Tom stepped WAY up on the raffle (winch, straps, tree savers, shirts, stickers, highlift, tools, doritos) and I hope to see all the TNT 4x4 stuff put to good use.

Thanks to Carl from Outback Offroad. I know Alot of guys really enjoyed your rigs, and thanks for the 3 500$ gift certificates!!! Thanks Adam (4xinnovations) for the tube work. Thanks woody for all the mugs and stickers. Thanks oddmar for the bumper. Thanks Cliffs for some shirts, passes, and stickers. I hope I didnt forget anyone but im tired after being at the cliffs after 6:00 today after I had to fix a blown trunion bearing (I went off some sweet jumps)

Thanks to CRAWL magazine for coming out and covering the event, and all the free mags.

Thanks a ton to Scott, Dragon, Digger, and all the other experienced wheelers for showing the guys around the trails.

Next year will be bigger and better. The FJC trail team should come.

Now someone post up some pics.
 
So I guess I'll start. I was at a bike race in Wisconson Saturday night and drove down after. I arrive to a very quite parking lot at 4:00am. I climed in the back and got almost 4 hrs. of sleep. This was my first time "wheeling" my 80. My plan was to stay on the very tame trails. I got in line behind Steve in his 80 so most of my pictures are of the back of his truck, I did get a few others.

This is why you watch first:

I had a great time, and will try and make Saturday next year. I would like to thank my trail leader for challenging me to push myself, for picking a great trail, and perfect lines.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT WEEKEND BOYS!!!!

did i mention I HATE FRICKIN MUD?

want to know when you want us to bring the cliffs back to you?
We have trail one here in janesville!! Wish i took a pic of all that gay s***!!

at the shop now i got that pic of us on our side ill post it up !!!

Thanks again boys Will be camping in the badlands this weekend it looks like!! see all then
 
muddy ain't the word for it....what a messy weekend!

GREAT time tho, really enjoyed the trails and the folks who attended....next time, hope it's dry the week before!! lol
 
It was a good time. Thanks to everyone that let me take your open seats. Maybe next time my junk will run right.

Extra thanks goes out to Woody Gumby and Clint, for parts and seats and Margaritas!
 
Next year is already rolling. We plan on food, music, an actual camp ground, a more organized system of communicating, more trails for every level of wheeler, and no rain ;)

The shop/main office building will be done soon and that will give us a "home base" for activities and questions. We will have an artinerary(sp), and more trail leaders. (Sorry/thanks again to Scott, Dragon, and Digger) I also would like to run more night runs and for different levels of wheeler. No one should miss out on that. That was the funnest run I did (It helped that I drove Woodys fj40 though, Thanks again.)

Some of you who know me know I was kinda bummed about winning the winch and I felt worse through out the day. So as of now I plan to donate it to next years raffle.

Heres some pics my wife took of we were off doing. These give you an idea of what the interior of the park looks like. Many of the trucks that ran #1 could run SOME of these trails once its dry out.

I put a whole day into waxing, painting, vacuuming, etc... but by the time people started showing up I had undid all that work so here it was before I left.

It was my first time at the Cliffs. What a great place. Thanks John, for putting the event together. It was great to put some faces with some screen names. Thanks to all the sponsers (sp) I won the wrenches, I'm diggin it. Thanks to Carl for letting me ride in his rig for the night run, that was flippin awesome. I had a blast and I am always thankful for the new friends, old friends and all the great people who wheel at these events. I really want to thank Scott also for leading our group both days. (I'm gettin a CB tomorrow). I can't make the Badlands run this comming weekend. But I'll see you at the Hoosier Hoedown in September. Later, Tony.
