Get Flat Nasty with Tornado Alley Cruisers

[tarbe]

Don't worry Ken, there will be at least one other Lexus there (mine).

I won't make you drive the bunny trails alone

 

[66fj40x2]

There'll be a bunch of us on the bunny trails.... my 38's with stock axles are much like oil and water...

 

[tarbe]

I'm coming as much for the fresh, cool (compared to Houston) air and cruiserheads as I am for the wheeling. I could wheel much closer to home that same weekend at the 40,000acre YO Ranch.

But that is not a TLCA event, and Flat Nasty is.

Given I'll be driving an extra 800 miles, I sure am glad gas is down in price!

Looking at the map there look to be 3 catagories. The 3+to 4 (out of 5) trails look to be yellow and there look to be a lot of them. Am I reading that right?

 

[66fj40x2]

There have been at least 3 easy trails opened and 2 or 3 easy moderate trails (stock jeeps have run them) since we had our prerun. The map, I don't think, has been updated.

Thanks, easy is not what I am looking for. Trails that recommend 33's and lockers, just don't want likely damage. If you use the following trail rating system:

I am looking for a 7 or 8. 9 is more for rock crawling

9 says, "Body damage, mechanical breakdown, rollover probable. Extreme caution required."

It's where it goes from body damage possible to probable that I draw the line.


I am sure I will find what I am looking for if I come out. No worries!

OK, for youse guys with long drives and an "early split factor," we're looking into some options:
Looking the FJC TT and their free meal, whether the caterer and the FJ crew can flip flop...looking at long distance folks who said they were arriving saturday...looking at which night works best for everything.
Bottom line, we'll make some accomodations and make something work for the majority as best we can.

thx-alan

Thanks! I really appreciate you guys accomodating us out-of-staters! Looking forward to it.

Two things; the tires in the raffle are perfect for an 80
If you bring the 80 you can run girlie trails with me!

 

[tarbe]

Bring the 80...we will take over the world

 

[Romer]

Bring the 80 Brian. Let me drive it for a while while nakman drives mine. I promise, I'll treat it just like you did mine

Probably better than you treat it anyways.

See you then

looks like there are 4 rigs confirmed coming from Mi,a couple others are trying to work it out.I will be there Wed. afternoon sometime.Is there any times set up for check in on Wed. yet? Would not mind checking in and relaxingbeer: ) for a while (18 hr. drive).

 

[trainrech]

We'll be getting there as quickly as our 10 month old allows. Check-in isn't going to amount to much, best to bring an unopened frosty beverage with you to speed up the process though .

 

[Buckru]

Does anyone know if the off road park has an air station to air back up? If not, how about a place close by?

Air.. Yes at park and on my truck.. Many of us will assist with your needs.. (Truck related, keep your personal needs to yourself!)
I plan on staying possibly thru all of Sunday to make sure everyone is on the road ok and doesnt' need anything further. Parts, a ride, towed out, etc.. I've got a york on my rig that will air things up, Ron the owner has a compressor in his shop that can be used as well. We'll have welders there, along with a ton of "stuff".. Plus woody will be there, he's good at fixing stuff with bubblegum and duct-tape..
