I guess I need to ask again what the point of this club would be. Some of the suggested names include trucks and cruisers. Cruisers already have a club, as do tacomas... I thought the initial plan was to have a club similar to ttora and tlca but for 4runners. If that's the case... why are we considering names that include trucks and cruisers? Sure, the minis don't get their own club, but they are basically tacos anyways, right?

Also, if we use the word national in the acronym somewhere, then our UK/Austrailia brethren are excluded. I realize we would include them despite the name, but perhaps the name should be more appropriate.

So, here are the names we are currently throwing around:
- 4ROC: 4Runner Owner's Club
- 4RTA: 4Runner Toyota Assoc.
- NATTO: National Association of Toyota Truck Owners
- 4RORA: 4Runner Off-Road Association
- FORAY: 4Runner Association

I like 4ROC... would look good on stickers and tshirst and suck, sounds good, easy to remember, short and sweet, etc. I don't like 4rta... no flow, no flair... not catchy. NATTO... I've already commented on the use of national and truck in the name. 4RORA... not bad, not good. THis one has off-road in the name... is this club an off-road club exclusively? Are we taking members who lower and make street mods to their rigs? FORAY... I immediately think "foreplay"... take it for what it's worth, but I don't like it (the name, not foreplay).

So as it stands... I like 4ROC.

You bring up some good points here Jackson.
Yes, the minis could very well be included with TTORA.

Made me ponder on the suggestions you brought up here which are all good, and I do like the 4ROC name.

Now all we gotta do is get to the ballpark with this.

Hey, I'm new to 4-Runners, new to any car actually, my first (and only so far) car being a black 94 4runner v6 5speed. I've had it for about a month and ive been looking online everywhere for mods and tips and stuff... It'd be really great to have all this info in one spot. I think the name 4ROC is pretty cool and catchy... any requirements for joining? im not too shabby with the HTML, VB, JAVA or anything relating to computers, so i could help in that area

Hermes · 11-01-2002, 02:02 PM

Let's keep momentum on this

4ROC gets my vote - that would be the only sticker to make it on my truck

Paul H. · 11-05-2002, 03:39 PM

Out of the five choices, I like 4ROC. Would be proud to be a member.

calrockx · 11-05-2002, 06:14 PM

yeah, 4ROC sounds tight. and as for the truck inclusion issue, we could make it a point of stressing that they're welcome too, like on the website, or when we talk about it. or in a club slogan or something like that. but afterall, it is going to be mostly 4runners right?

CLin9383 · 11-06-2002, 12:00 AM

yea, 4rock rocks!!

HBoss · 11-06-2002, 05:06 AM

Are Canadians permitted?

My vote is for 4ROC as well, what a great name/acronym.

Gene: I may have missed it but any news on membership fees, other details, etc. yet?

While I can't speek for everyone, it seems the general opinion is that this will be an international club. We've got a lot of people from canada, the UK, and some aussies I think... the more the merrier.

OK... I checked 4roc.com - taken. So, we can go with 4roc.net (or .org), but then people have to know the site is .net or .org or whatever... if they type in .com they won't get us. So, what about 4ROConline.com? I've been playing around with some sticker/logo ideas... got one simple, cheap design, still working on more though. This one would be very easy/cheap to produce for stickers, t-˟˟˟˟s etc. as it's only 2 colors. And we could change the color to suit us as necessary, it's just a background color and a font color basically.

ARRRGH! why the hell can't I get pics to post in threads lately?!??! oh well, guess you'll have to use the link.

thoughts? opinions?

Hermes · 11-06-2002, 08:02 AM

I like 4Roc.net better than 4roconline.com.

I ran a whois query on 4roc.com, we could always contact the guy to see if he would sell it as he may not be using it. This information is the public domain; however I will not post his info here. Anyway, here is the creation/expiration info.

Domain Name.......... 4roc.com
Creation Date........ 2001-04-02
Registration Date.... 2001-04-02
Expiry Date.......... 2003-04-02

**Corey** · 11-06-2002, 08:05 AM

Jackson, that is a nice sticker.
I like 4roc.net or .com better also.

Perhaps the guy will give it up?
Having "online" added to the URL makes it more confusing.

yeah...you know, i think most of the people who join anyway would be the those interested in off-road/performance. the average mall runner isn't as obsessed as we are with are trucks and would probably not be around the forum, let alone join a club.

Darren, the 4ROC forum was kind of hard to see as it was part of a 5 forum group here.

Much easier to see now out in the open.
Good idea jackson had.
