I can not believe we only have a grand total of " 5 " FLCA members going to the BIGGEST TOYOTA event this side of the Mississippi . What the _______ ? I guess I shouldn't be surprised , I would really like to know what happened to all the members listed on the FLCA web site and the ones I see in the old photos . If anyone knows please help and let's try to get this club back on track , so when we have a weekend trip we have more than 4 trucks show up .

FJ40's
In a 75 mile radius there are many and a lot of wheelers...in the state there are even more and a lot of wheelers.
What about you? Post up some pictures of your rig.
There are very few in the immediate Orlando area and none of them are on our club forum nor do they wheel. I know of three but they do not seem to be off road enthusiasts or perhaps they are not aware of the possibility of group rides. One of them is aware but not interested.

1) A really good first aid kit
2) A really good fire extinguisher
3) Recovery gear
4) Several pairs of boots/shoes (to keep dry)
5) Rain gear
6) Plenty of clothes from light to heavy (weather can change over night)
7) Camera
8) Light fishing tackle if interested
You'll have plenty of help for your sliders.
Everything imaginable to get by on is available in Sparta so if you forget something it's no big deal.
Some will shop in Sparta either on the way in or after we set up camp depending on our arrival time. They have great prices on Angus beef up there. In general everything is a bit cheaper...just don't go to Walmart with Luis...you'll be there for 4-5 hours. LOL! We found a cheap good Mexican Restaurant in town that we may revisit on the first night to avoid cooking if we get in later than expected. Ice is available on the property for sale on the honor system.

It is a matter of whether or not Roger decides to comply...he has done it before when GSMTR was at Tellico. If he is using TLCA insurance for the event he will be required to have an inspection (even though he is quite reasonable). Usually a TLCA representative is on property as this is an official TLCA event. I don't think any of us wouldn't be allowed to participate except Luis because he has too much horse s***...I mean power under his hoodie...I mean hood.

Yeah, I don't see myself getting DQ'ed if power were a criteria!
Otherwise this is a good reason for me to do things I already should have done - like carrying a fire extinguisher and first aid kit.

I hope Luis doesn't put his hoodie up .
I'm in Islamorada...no help with the carb, but if you need a MudShip from the Upper Keys let me know.
