Sounds cool... I'll try and make it!!!

SnoViking · 04-11-2006, 06:14 PM

im ganna try to make it too i think.

PirateFins · 04-11-2006, 06:20 PM

Can I just drive down the train tracks? I grew up there, parents still live around the bend from there.

MDT4RNR · 04-12-2006, 06:49 AM

Awesome guys,
There is alot of momentum building up to this small, but significant event.

I have promoted this event by posting this flyer on windshields of runners I see in parking lots/street/anywhere.

I look forward to meeting many of you and talk shop and plan future offroading trips.

Thanks for your replies, this lets me gage the interest on this 4runner Fest.

All depending on how this event turns out, I have bigger plans for next year.

See you there everyone.

ROOFGOOF · 04-12-2006, 06:55 AM

Need to find some private "free" property to do some trail riding on logging roads, etc. I have lived in Maryland for 6 years now and still don't know the "local" trails.

In PA I knew of a handful of roads near cresson/altoona PA.

Good job on the work you are doing!!!

calg3 · 04-12-2006, 10:24 AM

Wow, sounds awesome. I am supposed to be in the Outer Banks then but I might just have to come back early for this one

ROOFGOOF · 04-16-2006, 07:25 PM

bump- anyone else going... ??? the wife and I will probally stop by during the event for an hour or two - hopefully with my new tires/wheels on.

shazaam · 04-16-2006, 07:51 PM

I'm still out of town and will be for a while.

post this in the main off topic section for some added exposure

also put ti on ttora-va and mdcreepers.com

take lots of pics

Turd Ferguson · 04-16-2006, 08:06 PM

If the thing I've got planned this Saturday doesn't pan out, I am so there.

I grew up in Ellicott City. This is the big turn around in the middle of Rt. 40. Great hiking back there, especially down around the river banks.

Funny, Antwerpen there in Russell's backyard...

MDT4RNR · 04-17-2006, 10:31 AM

We are looking at approx forty (my guesstimate) 4 Runners (all Gens) attending the event.

Just FYI for those who want to enter the "Best In" competition mention above, have your rig at the event by 12:45pm cause we start judging at 1:00pm right after lunch.

There will be Hot dogs and fixings for all.

Later

Dax

Turd Ferguson · 04-17-2006, 11:06 AM

Not to threadjack here, but aside from mudding through construction sites

where exactly is a good place in the Columbia area to get some 4wd time in?

(I don't feel like driving to Cambridge every time I wanna get dirt on the tires...)

ROOFGOOF · 04-17-2006, 01:00 PM

Also, any good trails in Harford County would be appreciated too !

I'm going to shoot to be there before 1245.

MDT4RNR · 04-19-2006, 05:24 AM

As far as trails, I have had no luck at finding anything around the Balto metro area. Last rail ride I did was in Rausch creek Off Road PArk (1/2 north of Harrisburg).
There is some talk about scheduling a trip to either Paragon (1 hr north of Harrisburg) or George Washington National Park in VA.
I guess we can talk about it more at the meet, in the mean time look up the locations i just mentioned so youcan get an idea. Also I have pics on my web site about my last off roading trip to RCORP.

Today I have my truck in the shop, they are replacing the Cats, the Sulfur smell is horrible and it boils down to crappy cats. So you guys know I am a bit nervous today, it is never a good thing when the stealership shop works on anything on one's truck. Crap shows up as soon as you drive off the service dept. I can only hope for the best.

Later

PirateFins · 04-19-2006, 06:07 AM

to keep with the hijack, here is a link I posted in another thread about the ORV allowed areas in western MD. http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/orv.html

MDT4RNR · 04-21-2006, 03:32 AM

But the meet most go on!

Getting something like this to take off as it has allready is hard work. There will never be a right time to meet, so we have to make it happen.

With that said, I'll be there waiting for you guys and most likely I'll fire up the fireplace in the shelter.

One thing is for sure, our trucks are going to be clean

If you want to know what the weather looks like in that area go to your favorite weather website and type Zip code 21043

It's time to meet

Dax

ROOFGOOF · 04-21-2006, 05:10 AM

That SUCKS about the weather. I still plan on being there...The way the weather looks, it might be a hit or miss during 12-3 ??? Hopefully it will hold off.

ROOFGOOF · 04-21-2006, 03:01 PM

Weather report has changed...storms and steady rain all day. I'll bring a raincoat!

MDT4RNR · 04-21-2006, 06:01 PM

This is the post I have posted on the other Forum T4R.org
__________________________________________________ _______
I have a bit of a Shiraz Wine buzz going on right now, and I am beggining to freak out a bit.
The FN weather is not helping out my current state of mind. I am beginning to have serious doubts that not many of you will show up and it is beginning to worry me a littttlle bit. So please, let me know if you are going to brave the elements and come hang out and at least put a face with a name ( cause I don't want to just stare at the Toyota Dealership guy and the BF goodrich Guy with like 96 hotdogs on the grill).

I am a firm believer that "if you build it they will come" So this goes out to all of you.

I am building it, will you come?

Disclaimer: Again I have a nice wine buzz going on right now.

Dax

Turd Ferguson · 04-23-2006, 09:39 AM

Well, how was it?

I was busy getting laid. Sorry.

ROOFGOOF · 04-23-2006, 12:30 PM

Well, the rain didn't let up for quite sometime...but it broke for awhile to allow us to look at each others rig. I would say there was about 9 or so trucks there.

Dax had a good set up / location. I took plenty of free magazines that are now stocked next to the crapper...great reading!

Good bunch of guys showed up. Perhaps a trail ride in the near future!

MDT4RNR · 04-24-2006, 09:57 AM

I decided to host the pictures of the event on my website, so that I do not take up too much space in this website.

T4R Fest

Dax

Turd Ferguson · 04-24-2006, 09:09 PM

Nice shots. When do you have the next one slotted for?

(and definitely a trail. So long as a wimpy IFS 31x10.5 equipped stocker can keep up

)

ROOFGOOF · 04-25-2006, 04:55 AM

I probally wouldn't have got 1st place in best offroad mods if FOURWD1 would have been alittle earlier.

Yes, FOURWD1 showed up a few minutes after you left. He is serious about offroading.
he belongs to various off road clubs. I think one of them is called marylandcreepers or rockcrawlers. He also told me that there is a 4runner Jamboree. I have to look into this. May be we can hook up with them on their future trail rides.
