2nd Annual Chicago Toyota Jamboree

at
The Cliffs Insane Terrain Offroad Park
Marseilles Il
July 25, 26, 27
The Cliffs Insane Terrain


Rates

$35/vehicle for the 1st day. Any additional days will only be $10/vehicle.

This is cheaper than a normal weekend at the cliffs!! And it includes a BBQ on saturday night.

The snack shack lady will be doing breakfast at the cliffs on saturday morning. $5 gets you eggs, sausage, pancakes.....the usual stuff.

Last year was great success with about 65 trucks over the course of the weekend.

This will be open to ALL Toyota 4x4's (mini's, cruisers,fjc's...) But of course anyone who wants to wheel is welcome.

Friday: Setup camping, meet and greet, free roam wheeling.

Saturday: Meet in the lot at 9am for a drivers meeting, guided trail runs, free roam, BBQ.

Sunday: Free roam wheeling.

Last years raffle was huge and everyone stepped up huge! this year looks like it will be bigger!


CAMPING


Camping at the Cliffs, in the park, $10 per site/rig, no hook up.
Camping will be up in the park at a private grass camp site with access to the road.

Some pics from last year

I guess it all depends on how the weather holds out.
Start the trails around 9:00 a.m., I would get there by 8:30. You should be o.k. on the intermediate trails, I have done several w/o sliders. Although I now have sliders and my new winch bumper, unfortunately no winch because I don't have the cash. I want to win that Warn in the raffle

Yo guys! Just got back in town to illinois. Stoked to see that the jamboree is only a little less than 10 miles away from me i Ottawa! Excellent!!! I am stoked about meeting some yota people from illinois. It is sad to leave my yota friends in colorado and virginia behind but now Im back home in illinois. Never even wheeled in Illinois before. Only in the mountains. Stoked to meet everybody and I have some questions I will be ready to ask a few dudes out there abouut my axle problem.

Anyone know if the trail times will be extended at all past the usual 5:00?
I understand there is no alcohol allowed at the cliffs, but is there an exception for the camping?

I want to get there saturday, but can't until 5:30 or so.

Trail 1 is easy with the exeption of a few spots, but there are bypasses for some of them.

Alchohol is allowed for camping.

Im in the Vegas air port right now and Im still drunk and I smell like strippers, so if this isnt very coherent.....

I dont recommend trying.

I think Joe is so impressed that a mostly stock runner on 42's with 400k+ wont break even when you spend all day overheated and still bouncing off the rev limiter for 5 minutes at a time while dumping the clutch at 5k. That he considers any additional time on the truck is a gift.

The 35$ does include dinner on saturday night, so if you show up early enough you can get some grub.

Since the camp grounds are not in the parking lot, if you dont see me or my rig in the lot just give me a call if you need help finding the camp.
