So, was it worth it, or was it the usual :rainbow: stuff?? Just curious, I moved from Phoenix to (gag) DC last year and miss it more every day...

If your talking about the 4x4 expo..........All I'll say is I expected more vendors. It was still productive, just not as much as I had hoped for......

BTW it was OK. Way too many pretty look-a-like jeeps. And not very many vendors. Anybody wanna buy a Pinzgauer?

You can keep the Pinzenhabagerler, but I'll take one of those off-road carts. The one with the rollcage and the winch. I'm gonna try and get that guy that sells those to run in one of the NWRCA events up here in WA. Tight gates are no problem for a golf cart.

:beer: :beer: :beer: :usa: :beer: :beer: :beer:

The lifted golf carts with 500cc Polaris motors are the new rage with all the got too many toys guys.
It would be fun to terrorize the neighborhood with though.:D

The show was okay, but really small.:(

yep pretty small...line-x had like 3 lousy trucks to advertise.....good thing I got free tickets cause I would have been disapointed for 8bucks

Was ok. Not planned too well from what I hear....and not enough advance notice.

All in all it was pretty :rainbow: Avalanche had a pretty sick jeep with lots of cool overkill stuff that knowbody can afford. Like titan housing 2.5 ton top loader and axles larger than 2.5 tons. Oh yeah can't forget about the custom molded bullet proof glass windshield. But it beats siting at home and watching Friends:rolleyes:

I actually considered flying out there to visit freinds and go see
the expo thingy... glad I stayed home.. well, sorta anyway..

My TJ was one of them purdy show Jeeps (the blue TJ on 35s with the snorkle and battle scarred underside). Since we were displaying, we got to talk to the promoter and he said that it was put together rather quickly. They had several big vendors pull out at the very last minute because they thought the show wouldn't draw any people. Well, they did much better than anyone expected and will be back again next year. They have the numbers to show the vendors that pulled out that they made a big mistake. Next year should be much bigger and use a lot more space.

I'll be a vendor next year if the list of vendors is bigger than this year. Our video seemed to go over pretty good. I hope to be promoting events in Aridzona next year. I have family in Scotsdale/Paradise, and really like the state. Great wheel'n and if we can get the BLM to work with us, I believe a great place to hold some awesome rock crawling events.
