Whatcha guys think? Mid-West 4Runner Jambo??

There's a good amount of midwest folks now so I was thinkin we could have one somewhere around here so ppl don't have to drive to Paragon for the EC4RJ if it's there again this year.

I was thinkin Attica? Kentucky? IL?

 

Give me a time, a place and a weekend. I will see what I can do.

Seriously, I have an affinity for the West, so that is where I head when I have a choice. Despite being in South Central Wisconsin, I have little if any conception of where a good place to wheel would be headed south and east.

Any in state wheeling I have done was up way north, like 4 hours from me which means at least 8 for most of the rest.

 

Badlands! I would have voted KY, but there arent any offroad parks in KY worth a damn.

 

let's see how many replies we get, then we can start to decide on everything.

Tom? JP? Forest? Jimmy Sharp?

 

BRING IT AWN!!!!!

i vote KS ROCKS

 

When are we talkin'?

 

I dunno, whenever I guess.

Maybe some time when the snow melts? Throw out some ideas doods.

 

hey im up for KSRocks also, but yea, might be a good idea to wait wait untill it drys out a bit. keep us updated

Hmmm.....8 hrs..........that's kinda steep. Pretty much have to drive through Missouri

 

There's always Rockport, IL or Redbird, IN.

 

Hmmmmm.... Il. border is about 275ish miles one way. I'd love to hook-up w/ some of you guys. I guess w/ enough heads-up it could be do-able.

 

I won't drive my Jeep of course (I'm claiming a seat in Forrest's 4Runner...hehe)

But... as one who attended the first CO4RJ I have some suggestions:

Don't do it at a 4 wheel drive park. Go somewhere scenic. The Badlands is NOT scenic. I'd go somewhere in Kentucky, maybe Natural Bridge? You want to do trails, not a truck playground. Northern Michigan is an option, too- I know there are some good trails and dunes up that way. (I've never been, though).

Do it sometime in April when there's not a big risk of snow but it's still cool outside. It'll also be pretty because the plants will be blooming.

Make it an all-weekend event. Maybe a 3-day weekend? Camp out. Or at Natural Bridge they have some cabins that would be fun. Sitting around a campfire talking 4Runners after a day of trailriding is awesome.

See if you can get some sponsors. We didn't have any the first year of CO4RJ but I think some of the 4RJs have gotten sponsors now. You can have a raffle and such.

Make it really organized- the most recent CO4RJ was very well organized with waivers and an on-line registration. I know that AZ4RJ and EC4RJ are well-done, too.

anyway, those are my suggestions. I'd be happy to help out even though I drive a Jeep. I would be interested in attending as a passenger... my Jeep is going to stay on the pavement for a little while.

I think I know who should organize it

 

is this only open to 4Runners? i mean, my truck did help lead to the runner?

 

4runner jambos are open to all toyota's. 4runners, trucks, tacos, LC's etc

 

sweet, then count me in as long as there wont be much street driving. i will have to trailer the toyota arround, as it wont be very street legal (no plates, insurrance, ect.)

 

hey, ur coming on the 17th though right? So we'll see you there first.

 

yup, im 99.9999999% sure ill be there the 17th, though it will still be a legit truck then.

 

I'm down for a MW4RJ! lets shoot for beginning of April if in April, because the end is when finals is around. Or at least in mid May.

I am gonna try to get out to the EC4RJ, and if this goes well, then this, and maybe the CO4RJ!! wow! Its gonna be a buys wheeling spring!

 

Im up for it, sounds like it'll be a fun time if set up right.
