We're not whining, we are enjoying Landy ownership!

Are all we going to be at Robesonia?

What's up ladies! Finally crawling out of the annual black hole better known as budget planning season. Really need to figure out how to post from my iPad. It's all i take when i travel and I get redirected to the mobile version of the site and you can't post on the friggin thing.

I'm still planning on Robesonia. Will be good to see the gang assembled for another weekend of debauchery and destruction. Is Ed the only one that's not coming out?

New Guy John, Brett - what day(s) will you be attending. What about "the Doctor"?

I'm hoping to make it to test out the true trac. Should be interesting!

I think you will like it jake. its really technical. there is a picture of dana with his truck rolled that was at robesonia. im quite upset I'm missing it. its one of my favorite events.

Fast Eddie - post your video! I was all stock except wheels/tires last year. Oh, I had an ARB, too. It hindered me on one course (hit a rock, bumper killed my approach angle) , helped on others (protected body from trees).

Looks food to me! I'll have my safari guard bumper on by then. Pretty excited to test that out. And my win h won't be underneath my truck ha

Good god, you'd think working for a tech company I could figure this out. Thanks Ed, I'm on mobile now.

Who's the new guy? I'm just a few miles from Kenneth. Maybe we caravan it up there. It'll be good to know I might be able to get a ride home if something bigger than my bumper gets knocked off.

I'm totally in for robesonia. Still questionable, but likely, for ROTR.

if anyone is nearby and wants to help Mike is looking for help cutting the trails they are having a work day oct 15 and oct 16. They are creating 8 trails for the novice course and 10 for the advanced. they are not really long trails and they actually just clear logs and debris, the trails won't end up looking like Rausch creek any time soon, you still are driving thru the woods.

if you go for the work event you can check out the sickest garage full of rovers i have ever seen.

The registration form is available for Robesonia.

It's $28 to register and kids under 16 are free. Here is the form (oage 3) and instructions

i wish i knew how much you spent on your truck since the last time you wheeled it! LOL.

Damn I know what I spent and I think Jake is a close 2nd.

No way am I a "close" second. You spend $100 MORE on the two rear shocks than I did on all of mine, towers, and cones. lol Granted your set up is going to be unstopable.

You just do things right the first time. I'm just never satisfied. It's a whole different disease

I noticed it says $28 for ROVERS members. Do you have to be a member? I might join just for the newsletter

I joined at my first event but I am not sure if membership is a requirement. I don't remember it costing $28 though. I did get 2 or 3 newsletters this year - actually a couple good articles.

Yea it's only $25 and I live in PA so it's likely worth it

I was expecting more from the club in the way of outings. The only thing the club does is the two trials and a picnic I never plan to attend. The trials are well done IMO.
NELRC is more my style - outings oriented, no meetings and if you bring your wife/girlfriend/kids, they better be able to hang. No special activities for them.

Yea I agree with that - I was actually planning on starting a NELRC meet up parts swap soon. Will probably be a quarterly thing as long as I live in my current place. Need to get some vendors and parts guys involved.

I would couple it with some wheeling. Randy has said he would like to sell at an event at Rausch. He sells unofficially at every event he attends.
NELRC could have an event somewhere and have a flea market afternoon so anyone could sell their crap. I think MAR does something like this - basically let your shit layout by your camp site.

Yea I was thinking just like a 1 day event.. no wheeling cause I dont really have anything except a decent sized back yard. Here's what I was thinking..

NELRC EXPO
show and shine ;-)
Parts swap - vendors set up
raffle's and awards of some sort for trucks
Maybe i'll get a RTI ramp
have some demonstrations
BBQ, drinks maybe a bonfire of some sort
Maybe some prostitutes?

I can dig that. An RTI ramp would be a must. You may want to have it off site unless you have a couple acres...
I will probably be going to Asia soon so I will see what I can drum up in the way of prostitutes...

Ed - you take care of the helicopters and fire trucks.

haha Well I have a single acre out back. I think it would be fine for room especially thes first couple times we have it. Fodge has been to my place - he could probably vouch for the size. If it grows then we can find a place to host it elsewhere. I'm sure I could get an RTI ramp. Somebody want to draft me some liabilty waivers? This is going to be interesting!! Since it's so late in the fall and there's events both in Oct and Nov I may wait until Spring.

They have something like it for jeeps here
