2004 Toyota Jamboree - The Hammers - Johnson Valley, CA. April 23,24 & 25, 2004

I am going, Vernon Smith of Toy Specialists is going, Mark Longfield and Bruce will be there.

Myself, Vern and Bruce are running Aftershock.

Longfield is running Outter Limits

The rest of the Arizona people it looks like are running Backdoor/Resolution

I'm sure we can count on Fear4Runner to make an apperance.

Any of you fairies from Colorado gonna make it? I want to see those awsome Chrome Plated PanHard raise brackets in action !!!

You will need 2 lockers for Aftershock, but you'll be fine just as you are on the SUV run lead by the Legendary Chris Geiger.

Sign up for Geigers run !!! You'll have a great time.

Steve... so quick on the replies

Only wish I had some lockers.... :cry:

Anyway, do you know how the Geigers run is? Just wondering how it compares to the last run we did together in SD.

Maybe I'll just work my way to AZ for a run w/ ya one of these days

The SUV run lead by Chris Geiger will "probably" be alot easier than the trail FEAR took us on in Truckhaven.

No locker are required and the rateings are very honest. You'll want to go to meet all the people, see all the trucks and get ideas. Also I'm sure you'll have a really good time. Just be sure to hang out in the Arizona camp.

I'll see if I can grab a few of the local LA fellas (besides Bruce as he's already registered) and get em to go w/ me!

I'm pretty sure it'll be fun regardless of what kind of trail condition it is.

FYI, now that Im lifted and armored up nicely, I'm certain the trail that FEAR took us would have been alot easier to manage. I guess I was way over my head... doh

I guess I'll have to register soon and then find ya w/ your groupie there!

I'll be in the Arizona camp, which will be right by the Tin Bender (butt bender) camp.

Should be easy to find. Look for the Arizonan's

Oh no, Steve! Your new avatar- shaefer's beer (formerly Falstaff) brewed where the 3 rivers converge in the heart of industrial Ft. Wayne, Indiana!

Ugh, I think it's about $5 a keg or something.

You can only get it in the Midwest and East Coast. We can't get it out here.

All we can get is this darn Fat Tire stuff made in Colorado.

In my broke-as days, Schaefers kept us warm in those bleak Indiana winters. I think I can still remember the aftertaste.

Ever hear of Raaaa-nieeeeer-Beeeeer
Corey should know that!

Look for the Arizona Flag proudly displayed above camp. My tow rig is a '98 GMC, green and tan w/ a 14' trailer. The Toy will look different by then too- starting on the front bumper work this week, and removing the bed early next month- gonna be going w/ a shortened frame, and narrow flatbed. Just enough room for the tool box and spare, w/ a rack for the cooler.

Marlin Crawler is the Official Sponsor for Outer Limit's- we get free Marlin goodies

The sign up page is @

The Tinbender's Site

Check out the list of vendors participating in the raffle!!!!!
Looks to be larger than last years list already- and it'll only get bigger.

Gonna be an awesome event

I think Marlin had way too much fun out at Johnson's Valley during New Years holiday, He was so stoked that he couldn't wait to get out there again

I started selling some of my other toys to pay for all the upgrades and my recent repair bill, hopefully by the time I'm done I'll have my new wheels for the rocks

I know I won't have a chance to get my rear suspension built by then, but the stock set-up has been doing ok, at least with new wheels It'll be a bit better.

Gonna have a race with Steve to see who can go the slowest

It'll be fun meeting everyone and comparing Ideas
