New truck. Friend of my sisters down in Macon bought this truck a few years ago. Did some quality improvement to it. New radiator, new distributor, plugs and wires, new Weber carburetor, new tires. I heard he was thinking about selling it and Adam and I went to Macon today and picked it up.

It is going to need a clutch soon and a front axle service, but all and all a pretty straight truck.

Not that I wouldn't still want to do it, but below is the ACTUAL vehicle you'd drive from what I can tell; it's not the trophy truck like is in the video.

Who is the Ga Wagon Alliance? They are listed on the "clubhouse" page here on Mud.

Yes, who are they? Just to see what the content would be, I tried to link in but was blocked. Apparently members only; ok but I don't recall there being private chapters on mud before (private forums on chapter pages, yes).

It's a club dedicated to 80-200 expo rigs. I started a social group a few months ago and woody said the new software upgrade was not going to support SG. He moved us to a Clubhouse. No offense, but it's hard to bring a 100 to a GA Cruisers run, half the stuff you guys do I can't even think about. I am not trying to take away from you guys. Just started something for the more stock/light wheelers.

That's really not true. Tom wheels a basically stock/mild lift and 31" mud tires Tacoma and does very well wheeling with us. Pillguy also has a great time wheeling in a slightly modified 4runner.

(Both of these guys and many more in the club have put a lot of thought and many hours of labor into their truck, so not trying to take anything away from them.)

With your lift, tires, and lockers/ATRAC you would do fine with the Ga. Cruisers, but if you want start a new social group that is cool to. I personally would like to see some more new members involved with the Ga. Cruisers, as I am sure the BOD would to, but I don't want to speak for the leadership of the club.
 
I agree with Sid...The GA Cruisers have a wide variety of rigs that make up the trail rides on a regular basis. My first ride with the GA Cruisers, I had an unlocked 80 with a 2.5 in. lift with some bald mud terrains. This weekend for example (Pig Roast), there will be almost stock to moderate moded trucks (Robert, Andrew, and Klark) and reasonably modified (Ted, John, Sid, and myself)...I will be honest that some trail rides (Windrock) are geared more towards the really moded trucks, but we also do a geo trek once a year that is geared more towards exploring and light wheeling.


Nick- Have you tried to hook up with the Cottonland guys that have been doing treks through North AL and GA??
 
This is all true, I guess I never really paid attention to the whole group, instead just a few bobbed rigs and the 40's I primarily see. GA Wagon Alliance started as the GA 100 Owners in the SG section, just a place to chat about 100's, the ATL 100 owners are good friends outside of the MUD community, so it was more of like a facebook page on MUD for us to chat non-tech/BS. Woody told me that the SG function was going to be lost so I created the GA Wagon Alliance. Just something to keep the "old" 100 Owner SG going. You guys are more than welcome to join. The reason it is private is I have posted contact information if anybody needs RTH, stuck, etc, and would like to keep that "group eyes only" rather than "public eyes". That said, I know you guys do a lot of mild runs, just seems my schedule can't align with the GA Cruisers. The GA Wagons is more of a pick a day and go type. I don't plan on making it a official TLCA chapter, just a social group, located in the Clubhouse part of the forum. I do wheel my 100 VERY hard, so I am sure I could tag along with some of the more difficult runs you guys do. I will be more active in this club as well as the GA Wagon Alliance. You guys are more than welcome to join, cross post information.

Nick- I have not hooked up with the cottonland guys, I wish I had more time for wheeling but exams are coming up and I have 0 time lately. I plan on going to GSMTR and wheeling hard.
