200’s at Expo East

[tabraha]

Guys if anyone is coming to Expo East look me up. I’ll be parked in the Upstate Cruisers Club area across the aisle from Trollhole’s Cruisers booth. I’ll be taking the blue '16 200 and our Turtleback trailer. Both are pretty unique so I should stick out like a sore thumb. Come say hi, hang out with our clubs and be sure to check out @Trollhole and his booth. If you are within driving distance to Marshall and need a shop for maintenance or mods he’s your guy.

Details of Expo and Upstate Cruisers setup here.

My family and I will be arriving late tomorrow afternoon and will be there all the way through Sunday.

Kinda crappy on Expos part last night.

They stop letting people register at 6:30 pm. And so if you show up after that, no camping for you. Sucks when you have a 2 year old.

All the Expo people would of had to of done is tell people about it, and we’ll plan accordingly. Needle to say, there are a LOT of pissed off people at a Holiday Inn down the road.

All's well that ends well and we finished strong. @Taco2Cruiser made it in and parked right behind me early the next morning so it was a nice recovery lol. We ended up with 3 200's and I'd say easily 15 cruisers in just our TLCA Chapter area with several other Tundra's, Taco's sprinkled in for good measure. Of course as usual cruisers were everywhere! I did not take many pics. I can account for 99% of my time with 3 things: Getting kids to their fun classes, talking with vendors or eating like a king & having a cold one. And yes, as others will attest we ate like kings around the clock.

12 square foot griddle with maestro Chuck in full effect:

I don't even have a pic of us 200 guys at camp. Maybe @Taco2Cruiser got some. @uzj100 was taking some pics too I believe. Y'all tag some others and post pics as well.



Parting shot of us on Sunday afternoon:



Much thanks to @Trollhole for his time, effort and financial contributions to our Upstate Cruisers / ONSC group site. We had a 12 square foot griddle that was rarely idle.

@helocat I heard Metal Tech also chipped in for Upstate Cruisers. Thank you very much also! Good meeting you guys. My 100 has leaned on your sliders for a long time and they always get the job done. Nice to put a face with the manufacturer.

So while I did come up short on pics I did at least get pics of the coolest 200 there:

Maltec conversion on a 200 series. 1VD-FTV engine and AHC. Pretty interesting combination. BRAID wheels for those interested. The Maltec conversion was legit. Fit and finish were top notch.

 

[TonyP]

I want that conversion.

 

[uzj100]

Seemed to be one of the most popular because of the size. They told me it actually weights less than a stock cruiser with the camper on the back.

 

[TonyP]

I wouldn't be surprised. I assume it's made of fiberglass.

Here’s a shot of the interior.

What do you guys say, this conversion and a SAS on 40s?

 

[tabraha]

I have their brochure at the house. I'll try to get some pics out of it. I haven't even cracked it open yet. We were still unpacking the fridge at 9 last night.

Yep, looked like a fiberglass shell. Interior fit and finish were nice also. I didn't get any pics of the interior as my wife and 2 kids were inside so it was FULL. It had Scheel-Man front buckets and also still had the 60% portion of the 2nd row b/c the client had a 5yo.


edit: taco got the interior.

Nice, I'd like to check it out.

I'm sure it's insanely expensive though.

Carbon fiber.

I got the Scheel-Mann's contact info if anyone wants some seats for your 40, 60, 70, 80, or 100. Really nice stuff.

Sorry I missed you guys at the UC site. Just saw this thread or I would have hunted you all down. I was over there at the UC site for a bit on Friday night. It was dark so I couldn't see the 200's. The only ones I saw were Paul's at Equipt and the modded camper pictured above. That was a really nice conversion!
