:flipoff2:

It's not all about Toyota's this year. There will be runs from mild to wild. FJ,JK,Toys,full on buggys, I heard a rumor upper Bender Alley may be part of the run if the rigs are capable.

I heard Upper Bender Alley has been "handled"

I heard Upper Bender Alley has been "handled"

with a hook :p

wouldn't miss it... :smokin::smokin:

btw, if you need us for anything Leah, please let us know. we're more than willing to lend a hand

with a hook :p

No Easy Rick drove it.

I heard Upper Bender Alley has been "handled"

Just cause her cherry was popped doesn't mean there isn't a line of guys waiting to get up her skirt.:D

aint that the truth

Damn, I would love to come but I'm not sure how busy we'll be at work by then. Right now there isn't much on the books, but that can change quickly. :roxy:

So put in for time off now!!!!!!!!

the best 'don't miss event'! :grinpimp:

not going to miss this action like last year! Cant wait, it will be my first time going in my jeep

No Easy Rick drove it.

Cool ! :smokin:

ahhh so that's who's tires tracks up there.


I've got my weekend schedualed for it.

thats what I like to hear.

I think I've been to every jambo for the last 4 years, no way I'm skipping 5 in a row.


BTW, I'm absolutely POSITIVE that everyone who's posting up in here cares about future jambos to come and has sent a letter in using the letter generator. If you haven't, be sure and do so. It's more important than you think, and our current # of letters is pretty poor. Link in my sig, and I have comment forms that you can send in to Marines that I can email upon request (just as important) - just send me a PM and I will give you one. Let's keep JV open:smokin: See you all out there...

I'm pretty sure I can talk the team into leading a trail again this year as long as we're not too beat up from KOH, just don't put us with the JK's:flipoff2:

the shirts this year are awesome! ill be getting one for sure.

Registration is open!!!!!!!:bounce2::bounce:

I'll be there and want to volunteer for something.

Oh yeah, and I promise not to drive through anything that's on fire this year, at least not on purpose. :D

We just may bring down a convoy from Canada again this year :D

Backdoor will be fun again Saturday night, there just won't be any fire play.

Hey Mudkitten; being the Hammers is located on a Marine base, how about having a Tank running a few trails during the Jamboree? :smokin: Or is this just another rumor out there someone started or is starting. :stirthepot:

I’ll have to see if the Rock Star Limo team is available.

Proud member of :tank:

I missed last year, because of soccer---I HOPE to not miss it this year. Even if I have to drive up Friday after work! Being a mom sucks the life out of me!!! But I do miss everyone---SO MUCH! I am going to do my darnedest to be there. :)

A tank on the trails would just mean a REALLY heavy bitch to pull out when it gets stuck. THAT'D be a photo for sure.:smokin:

And the Hammers is NOT on 29 Palms Marine base, and hopefully it never will be (it's pretty close though)

He is actually talking about our friend we call Tank to lead the trails. He was recently injured but plans to be at the event.

When I left the Hammers on January 19th, I was behind 5 Military Tanks, real ones with guys on top with guns. I took pictures. Better get those letters and petitions signed just in case.

Tank = Frank the Tank

We were probably stuck behind the same 'tanks,' if you mean coming back from lakebed mid Sunday after the FOJV meeting.

Tank reference was completely over my head, but hope he feels well enough to get out there...

Tank is doing great and is getting crazy in his wheelie chair.

The tanks I saw were on a Monday around 2

We saw LAVs Sunday afternoon, maybe 15 of them headed north on the 247. If you ever saw an actual tank headed down a highway, you had better get to your guns, cause the "shit has hit the fan"!:eek:


And back on topic: I will be at the Jambo.:)

Monday, Sunday... Those LAVs were cool:smokin:

First thing I thought of when tank was mentioned was a massive tank trying to get through Wrecking Ball...

Signed up :D
And I used to see the LAV's going down HWY18 in Apple Valley every once in-a-while. But not so much in the last year or two.

Ok guys, we have lots of cool things to raffle off including but not limited to a set of Pitbull Tires :), lots of rad things from Trail Gear, Daystar, ARB, Dedenbear.....We are going to have vendors setting up booths and now we have a food vendor so food packing wont get in the way of beer packing. :D

The Sandbox Grill, yes the same one that was serving up yummy deliciousness at KOH will be back for the Tin Bender Jamboree serving food from Friday to Sunday afternoon. Bring your money honey, their chili cheese dogs are the best!

It's tough to call in sick when you leave at work :laughing: I'm going to ask tomorrow if I can have the weekend off :roxy:

Itching to go, probably be the only guy with a Rover, but I'm getting used to that. Bender Jambo, come back just in time for finals and graduating college, sounds like a good plan, lets see if I can make it work.

Plus I want to talk to the guys at Hendrix about an X-Chassis:smokin:

Hey guys incase anyone is renting an RV for this trip DONT rent it from Bates RV rental in AppleValley .

They have been a big hassle for me after KOH , charging me for a windsheld that was broken when I picked up the RV.Luckly I took pics before I took the RV but its been a big fucken headache.
They also charged me twice for insurance too.

I have been fighting with them to get my over charges of $700 back.



Have a good times guys , I wont be able to make this year.

Rob and I are going to be in Vegas during the dates of the Jambo. We are planning on renting a car and arriving when everyone gets back to the camp that afternoon and hanging out until the late evening. :D

I went to tinbenders.org to try to register for the Jambo but in order to so you have to list a rig, which we won't have, and select a trail. We want to participate in the raffle and dinner, so can we just pay the $50 when we get there? I want to make sure even though we might not be able to register on-line, there will be enough food for us to eat dinner. Or is there another way we should try to register early?

Just a little more than 3 weeks to go....




Registration seems to be low this year compared to past years, just wondering what the heck you guys are waiting for? :flipoff2:

seriously though, if you plan on coming out.. please register soon.. we are trying to get an idea of how many heads to feed for Saturday nights dinner ;)


Leah @ Poly is doing an AMAZING job collecting prizes for the raffle!! If you've ever to been to our raffle.. you know how well your chances of winning are!! :smokin:


We have heard some people are having difficulties registering :( you need to be logged in to the Tin:skull:Bender board to do so... if you don't have a T:skull:B login.. just make one.. and get yer butt signed up!! :D


If for some reason you still cant login/register there will be onsite registration... But give us a heads up to let us know your coming so we can plan for food!

For those who haven't noticed my bright yellow sig... and dont know where to register...clicky HERE!! (http://www.tinbenders.org/index.php)


See you in a few weeks!! :bounce::bounce2:

Trying hard to get the rig back together to make it down. If it's looking good after this weekend I'll reg up.

cross posted this from the toyota section:

me and two buddies are coming all the way out there from Charlotte, NC just for this event. We are flying out on thursday and coming out there that night. Some of the RockBrawler crowd (not sure if they are members of the club, but they are off of their board) have graciously offered us seats for the weekend. We still need one seat however (we have two, and need one more) to ride. We bring beer.

What is the weather like out there at night? Will we be fine sleeping without sleeping bags? Anyone have a tent we can borrow for the weekend? (sorry we are so needy, lol...just dont have much room to pack on the plane). Is there anywhere near there to shower? We have to leave LATE night saturday to catch the early flight back east on sunday morning and will need to catch showers somewhere (Truck stop? Pay someone to shower in their RV?) before we get on the plane. Hopefully we wont miss any big partying on late saturday night....lol.

Im really looking forward to this trip, ive never been out to the hammers before and figured this would be a good opportunity to go. Wish I could take my rig out there but its just too far to make it for the weekend.

Looking forward to it.

VERY Cool!!! Glad you guys are coming out!! ;)


We'll probably have a board posted at/or near the registration table with "Looking for a seat" & "Seats Available" lists going. So chances are you can find someone to ride with ;)

Weather... whether it be dead of winter or the middle of summer.. you'll need to be prepared for just about everything. My advice is bring at least one of each ~ shorts, long pants, long sleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, jacket. If it gets cold at night, you'll want layers. During the day it'll be warm so have those short sleeves handy ;)

As far as showers... No :( unless you guys get a hotel room nearby, there are no shower facilities on or near the lakebed. I'm not sure what airport you're flying into and what nearby truck stops have to offer as far as cleaning up... maybe someone else can answer that ;)

wonder what trail i will be on? prolly the ones with the tacos:laughing:

OK good deal on the seats thing.

The weather...that makes sense. I figured the clothing thing, im more worried about the sleeping, since we dont have a tent (unless we bring one on the plane with us) and not much room for sleeping bags. Ill bring a couple of blankets or something. Or maybe hit up a walmart after we land.

We are flying in and out of LAX. We fly in on Thursday morning and fly out on sunday morning.

Most of us have been out there for several days and are running out of water or our tanks are full by Saturday night. You can stop at one of the truck stops in Ontario on the way to LAX for a shower if need be.

A seat should not be a problem.

Thats what I figured. Truck stop is no problem. Itll be worth it for one of the best wheeling weekends you can have.

Anyone have any idea where/which truck stop on the way to LAX is the best?

I'll be out there with the big RV and will have plenty of water for an extra shower or two by Sunday. Just don't let any of the Benders know ( I do have some standards for who actually is allowed into the RV!)

seems like it'd be a lot more fun to get on the plane home covered in dust and smelling like 90w and liquor:confused: To each his own:flipoff2:

WOW!
Nothing rude about it, most of us will be out there on Wed or sooner. I usually have 6-8 people using my rig, by Saturday night my tanks are bulging and I have barley enough water to do dishes.:flipoff2:

;) cool...

I'll send some of the extra folks staying in my trailer to your place for a shower :flipoff2:

I've got 4 adults and a 5 year old sharing what water my trailer holds, so if you have plenty extra we'll be sure to send people in need of washing up your way! :laughing:

Just a little more than 3 weeks to go....




Registration seems to be low this year compared to past years, just wondering what the heck you guys are waiting for? :flipoff2:

seriously though, if you plan on coming out.. please register soon.. we are trying to get an idea of how many heads to feed for Saturday nights dinner ;)


Leah @ Poly is doing an AMAZING job collecting prizes for the raffle!! If you've ever to been to our raffle.. you know how well your chances of winning are!! :smokin:


We have heard some people are having difficulties registering :( you need to be logged in to the Tin:skull:Bender board to do so... if you don't have a T:skull:B login.. just make one.. and get yer butt signed up!! :D


If for some reason you still cant login/register there will be onsite registration... But give us a heads up to let us know your coming so we can plan for food!

For those who haven't noticed my bright yellow sig... and dont know where to register...clicky HERE!! (http://www.tinbenders.org/index.php)


See you in a few weeks!! :bounce::bounce2:

Woo Hoo!!

I'm trying to get there. rebuilding the rear end after the last time out.

:flipoff:

Hey!

It was a JOKE!!

:flipoff2:

But....I could bring along an extra 50gal. of water if anyone needs more.

Ok, signed up for jack. Now I'm forced to fix the gears. Do you need help with the runs. I helped Blaine's group on aftershock and would help again if you need it.

Im in! Outer limits here I come!!I need to get out of my house and on the Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Couple of questions?

Is there a tech inspection before the run with a list of requirements? If so what is it. I couldnt find one on the website.

I see everything is split by tire size. I have 315 75 16. Closer to a 35 then a 33 but still a bit under 35. Is that fine for doing the 35" tire trails. I have ran claw and afershock in the past. We are thinking about doing jack, sledge, outerlimts, or sun bonnet. This is a ranger locked front rear solid axle with duel cases and a winch. Body damage isnt much of a concern.

Body damage isnt much of a concern.

I think you covered the bottom line right there. :D

no real tech inspection. and i would call a 315 a 35 any day.

Sounds like your fine, the tire size and equipment is just a guide line. Your trail leader will make the final call. If he thinks you will be a trail tampon he may suggest another trail.

Anyone coming from Colorado that could have room for an extra rig on the way back? I've got cash, just need to get the buggy to it's new home.

Dave

How fast does everything fill up?
I might be getting to the lakebed at 5am on the 25th.
And its a tampon! :laughing:

Hard to answer that, some are already full, some have no one on them. You can go to our site and check to see how many spots are available for each run and who is on them.
http://www.tinbenders.org/trp.php
You could always pre register and save a place in line for the trail you choose.:flipoff2:

One with a big red sticker on the back that looks like this.

Yay, it's getting closer :bounce2::bounce:

It says 24th and 25th, so I'm wondering if I need to take Friday off. Are the trail runs saturday? What's planned for Friday?

I'm signed up for "Full of love", I figure the trail leaders don't count so that makes me 5. :flipoff2:

Trails are Saturday. Friday is whatever you want to do.

Club Zopilotos from Mexico Confirmed with approx. 7 rigs. We'll be looking to hit up some trails Friday night(Back Door) Sat and Sunday????

What trails are the Brawlers Crawling ?????

We are having a FOJV meeting at the Dinner/Raffle on Saturday night.

I am in.
Leaving Thursday am.
How does the trail sigh up work?
I have never done anythng this organized.
Will I have to count on my internet friends to make sure I go on the trails?
The rest of my club is there now :(

I post this question with a full expectation of getting flamed.:flipoff2:

So this Jamboree is a fundraiser/clean up effort of the Hammers OHV area. I would love to come and participate in this event however, if I can manage to get my broke ass out there it will be on a shoestring budget to say the least and to come-up with the 50.00 dollars on top of gas and food just may not be in the cards for me this year.:shaking: So my question is this, what is the position of the sponsors for this event if you have folks that want to come out and help with the clean up effort but can’t afford the entry fee? And obviously they would not be included in the dinner or raffle.

Thanks.

It's an open desert we can not and would not stop anyone from coming out. If you make it out, come see the people at the registration desk and tell them what you would like to do. I'm sure we will have a solution, you are not the only person in this boat this year. By the way it's only $40 if you pre register.:flipoff2:

1) Go here http://www.tinbenders.org/ Click on the new button. Sing up for a user name and password. It takes one day I think for it to e-mail you and say your account is active. Then go here http://www.tinbenders.org/hosted_events.php Click on signup form, pick trail and pay through paypal, done.

2) Ask one of your internet friends to sign you up.

3) Or wait until you get there pay the extra $10, since it's going to a good cause and sign up out there. No internet skills needed.:flipoff2:

I won a free pass :), but I am still going to kick in cash during a "pass the hat".

I don't know Mike, I'm still confused. We've known about this since December when Lance posted it as "First annual JKOwners run" on JKO and never mentioned signing up. On the 6th page of that thread a vendor posted a link to the Benders site recommending we sign up to pick a run. So I don't know what's going on. Is it free for JKO members? Lance mentioned raffles and refreshments but never said anything about signing up.:confused: I'm in the same boat as you financially and I'll be going to hang out, camp, and spot for my friends from JKO but don't plan on participating in the runs, raffle, dinner, or anything. Everywhere I go I'm 100% self sufficient anyway. If I sell any of my junk or get some $$$ for my B-Day I'll sign up, make a donation, or at least buy a shirt if they have 4X :flipoff2:

The Tin Bender Jamboree is an organized pay event. We charge $40 per vehicle pre register $50 on site.

We set up runs and provide trail leaders and helpers for each run. With each payed entry you get to choose a trail run, two meal tickets for a BBQ dinner we host & one raffle ticket. The last two years we have had a Pirate 4x4 vendor as the title sponsor to help us put on this great event.
This years title sponsor is Poly Performance. Leah from Poly has been rallying vendors for donations for our raffle. She has amassed a large amount of prizes to be given away at the raffle.
All money raised, minus expenses (food,insurance, permit etc.)gets donated to help keep trails open.

You may want to ask Lance to find out what this is? "First annual JKOwners run" He may have something else up his sleeve?

We will not have 4x shirts on the lake bed, we print small - 2x only(maybe a few 3x). I wear a 3x and order them ahead of time.
If you want a shirt in 4x you will need to pm Air Ride on here and ask him if he can get them.

Thanks for the info. I pretty much knew what the Tin Benders Jambo was but don't know how the JKO guys fit into it. I'm sure it will all work out.

OK, I registered this morning (and bought a tshirt) and when it asked for rig name and trail, I put East Coast visitor....since well, thats what I will be and im not bringin my rig out there. I put big johnson as the trail name since the guy that Im riding with (rubijon) has his name under that trail.

Was that what I should have done?

Its getting closer! im getting excited about this trip! Is there anyone else coming from across the country for this event?

Thats fine, when you check in just let the person know you don't have a rig and will be riding with someone.
Make sure to tell us you guys came out from the east coast.

we are ordering food for saturday dinner. if you are going to preregister please do it this week as we need a head count for the food order.

What would you say are the top 5 toughest trails??? FOH,Back Door , , , ,

What would you say are the top 5 toughest trails??? FOH,Back Door , , , ,

Never been on FOH.

I consider Backdoor an obstacle not a trail. Backdoor usually has three outcomes You make the first fall and walk the other couple of hundred yards to the bail out. You break and head back to camp, or you flop hard and head back to camp.

Every trail out there can be tough if you choose to take the optionals or pretty easy if you stay on the beaten path so to speak. Sledge is driven by Jeeps on 35's all the time but there are optionals that only a built linked rig will make.

Upper Bender Alley would be the least driven trail out there, it has only been completed unassisted by one person, EZ Rick.

Spooner Canyon was a fun trail and has a bunch of optionals yet to be tried.

Well it looks like I will have the funds to preregister after all, hopefully tomorrow. :grinpimp:

What trail should I be choosing? My 4runner is equipped as follows.
33" BFG mud tires,
ARB lockers front and rear with 4:88 gearing,
Marlin 4.7 tcase gears,
Rock sliders.

Thanks,
Can't wait to get out there:D

About 8 years ago I did Aftershock on 33's, locked front and rear. It was work, though.

I wouldn't run Sledge on 33's on a bet unless I was in maybe a Sammy. Clawhammer, maybe.

It's almost Jambo time :bounce2::bounce:

Im excited!
We have such cool raffle prizes too- such as a hy-steer kits, driveshafts, tons of gift certificates, free gear installs and a set of 37" Pitbull Tires-get it.

Same here, except I was on Sledge, 33-9.50-15's :D :D

Cool, thanks for the info. We have 5 clubmembers comming from Mexico and they want to have a weekend of some hard wheeling. We'll try to hit backdoor on Friday and Saturday night and probably Sledge,Upper Bender Alley, and Spooner Canyon betweenFriday, Saturday and Sunday during the day.

I'd leave Backdoor for the last day unless your brining lots of spare parts. Allot of guys have ruined there weekend by hitting backdoor first.

Well I pre registered thru the JKO site link because it had the option to pay at the event. I could not find this option on the Tinbenders site, probably because I R dumb.:rolleyes: Anyway I signed up for claw and will probably check it out on Friday to decide if I need to change my run choice for Saturday. I can't wait for next weekend it will be the first wheeling trip I have been on in over a year.:p

I will be there in this and look forward to metting some of the folks from the PBB. I have been here since 06 and it would be nice to put some faces with the names.

Anyone heading down from the bay area on thursday night / early friday morning? I am planning on leaving Benicia after work (~4:30), but it would be nice to caravan down as i have no idea where i am goin. :D

Anyways, lookin forward to the jambo. I am signed up for claw, and if possible i want to run sledge and jack while i am down there.

I'm pretty sure we'll be there... it will be Frank's b-day :D So.... I just checked the moon phase calendar because I like a full moon out there for night wheeling. My vision at night pretty much sucks, so I'm always hoping for a nice full moon.

But, alas... there won't be ANY moon at all :(

On the other hand, next year will ROCK during the same weekend!

and... there are plenty that live up that way who'll be headed down here....
maybe you should start another thread asking for caravan in the Regional ~ Nor. Cal forums. ;)

Just in case anyone is planning on a food vendor being on the lake bed ~ he is unable to make it to the Tin Bender Jambo, due to equipment problems!!

So ~ pack your food, drinks and ICE!!!

Leaving Thursday AM myself.
I am going alone, if you get your crap together to leave in the AM, hit me up.

FYI @ the Jambo I will in in this pile.

I'm gonna stop by on Friday as I drive from Las Vegas to LA in the jeep. It'll have to be a meet and greet, since I can't stay for the weekend festivities. Mom is sick and we got to have THAT talk (she's in her 80s).:(

I'm gonna sign up and pay saturday morning just letting ya know for a head count.

i didn't even know you were allowed to come out.

Well it looks like I'm missing this year. Work has been swamped here and I've had no time to rebuild the rear end. I would like to donate to the first currently enlisted and on active duty military person to pm me. My thanks to your service. So If your military and haven't paid yet and are going pm me.

sorry, but Gianni wont be able to show up this year. :( The plan was for him to ride shotgun with me but his boss wouldn't give him the time off. He will have vac. time by next years jambo so he wont have any reason not to show up.

You can do it either way (if you don't have a rig and wanted to participate in the raffle as well as the dinner you can register.)

Ummm.....did that make any sense?

In other words, you can buy extra raffle tickets for $50 ea. :D

A buddy of mine just bought (yesterday) a brand new JK Rubicon Unlimited. I'm trying to talk him into bringing it and and running the SUV run. I dunno if they'd let him on the FJ run. He's not new to wheeling, but he doesn't want to hurt the JK while it still has paper plates.:p

Makes perfect sense. We have a rig that seats 4 so I wanted to make sure we didn't have to fork out $200 to run a trail.:eek:

Just drove through apple valley and saw about 6 rigs in the food for less parking lot. Passed another toy buggy headed out there.

Damn gonna have to miss it anyways. Work just gave me a big project :( Oh well making money for more truck parts is always a plus lol

This is my first Tin Bender event, and I have pre-registered. I will get to the lake bed late tonight, so what time will registration be open Saturday morning?

What time will JR be heading out to Full Of Love?

I gave up on my tent after half an hour trying to set it up, and just crashed in my truck. :flipoff2:

Goggles are going on the packing list as well.

edit; oh ya

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you who put on this event...we all had a great time:D

No doubt, the wind sucked BUT it did a good job of convincing the mrs. of needing an enclosed trailer :D
