Ok, so now that we've got ProRoc out of the way... :D :flipoff2:

Team 419 will be there in the Legends class again.

Goals: Finish!

Smack mode: Time to spank the legends class! :D

I have to give a BIG thank you to Rocky (RockYJ) at Essentially Offroad (http://www.essentiallyoffroad.com) for some major help on my front 3rd member. Without his help, I probably wouldn't be making it back for the finals.

Staying at the Best Western...

I plan to be there to spectate all the carnage, and to see what I'm getting into if I compete when my junk is finished.

Hope to see a lot of PBB folks there and meet you all.

Uhhhh... I'll be there. :D

I'm staying at the super secret event organizers lair.

OH!!!! BTW... Saturday night, there is going to be a band at the Starlite. They are stoked to be playing some music for you guys, and are looking forward to the event. In fact, I think some of them are going to be coming out to the event on Saturday before the concert to see ya'll givin' it hell. Tim and I are going to try to break out the 102" T.V. and get some video playing up on the wall while the band is playing.

I don't know if I will be there. I'm too scared:flipoff2:

I'll be there as usual

Syko will be driving my Jeep in the legends w/ somebody else spotting :eek:.

I will be spotting for somebody. Buddy if he makes it (wife had a kid last night so that's doubtful, more info on that later), and if not then for Shupee or an unamed legends competitor (who I could name but won't), and if none of them then for syko while his new spotter watches :D.

I like to have plenty of options.

I like to have plenty of white castles.

What?

cruiserrg !

Drop me a line at coolmank@prodigy.net with your itinerary for the weekend (or here if you like). I may be game to ride down with someone if I can split the gas money and windshield time with them.

I do have some axles to pick up on the 7th, but I can push that off until the following weekend. My only other "requirement" is to be back in Milwaukee by the evening of the 10th for school. But I don't forsee that being a problem.

cmk

I'll be there again spectating, gonna go see if Rocky's junk is actually going to hold together.

Well, based on my last performance I can see why :D

I'll be there. This year has about killed the rig but hopefully it will hold together. Good idea on the TV Chad. It will give us something to do, seeing how there is so much going on in Jellico.

I'll be there, I think.

I was supposed to be there, but now I'm not. :( :(

I'll be there to spectate with my son.

I'll be there to spectate unless someone needs a hand. Come on, somebody needs me don't they, otherwise I have to go to some stupid ass wedding with my girlfriend on Sat. and only get to see the action on Sun.

Easy

I'll be there with my camera glued to my face again! My web site is finally getting fixed, so the pics from last time should be up soon. Sorry about the wait.

My question: Is DRM going to be there? He talks so much shit but hasn't come to one yet, and it's practically in his backyard!

J. J.

i'll be there damnit! and no DRM will not be there, his keyboard might get lonely :(

I can't believe he hasn't been to one of these events yet... Oh wait, maybe I can! :flipoff2:

I plan on competing this go around. I have a few things left to iron out on the HEEP since all the changes. I will get some seat time this weekend hopefully. I will definitely be there even if my junk isnt together. I will see you guys there! Staying at BW of ourse. Rocky

I don't know if I've even been to TN before. Do they have chicks there? ;)

For someone who hasn't been to Jellico yet, help a brutha' out.

What's the best spot, close to the competitions, to camp? Primitive camping is fine, but a clean shower would be nice after a 10 hour road trip.

cmk

i'd love to spot... but my wife would probably kill me... hmmmm... maybe I *should* go...

Well, I dunno if I should... Bigdude and his pink shirt wearin' ass... might try and hit on me... :flipoff2:









or is that hit me??

I will be at the comp on Saturday and Sunday, taking pics as usual. Will be staying at the secret lair, though will probably be at the BW socializing with everyone.

Yes, there are some chicks... you'll find most of them at Buckner's Restaurant.

Camping. Go to the ERoCC Website (http://www.erocc.com/) and go to the Information - Accommodations section of the website. The best bet for camping is Indian Mountain State Park, located just out of downtown Jellico, and about 2 miles from all of the hotels.

Ill be there with my brother. I guess we'll be staying at the campground again unless we both run into some mula:D

CMK, the best/ closest camping is at Rocky Mountain....????

Anyway, just get off the freeway and head down the main drag past town square, keep goin straight and youll see a sign for it on the right, just follow the signs back in there.

10 days and counting, now I gotta go to Jellico to get serviced.

Do to some unforeseen circumstances "The Turd" will not be unveiled until next year and as stated by the Bigdude Team 69 will be there sporting Bigdude’s rig :D I will be trying a rookie spotter so things might be fun for the first few obstacles until we find our groove. I have faith in my new found spotter and things should workout fine..................................Get ready to work your ars off Scranton :flipoff2:……………………So once again the legends class will be the class to watch :D


I would like to publicly thank Bigdude for letting me run his rig in the last comp. You the man Kev. :D So the pressure is on, I now need to kick ass to thank my sponsors Bigdude and Foothills 4x4

We will be staying at the Best Western like always. So stop by and have a cold one on Friday

Make sure you bring plenty of spare parts... can be tough to find cruiser parts in Jellico.

Not as hard as you'd think. I found a cache of good stuff not far. My junk needs all the attention it can get, so I will be at Buckners!

That's good that you found a stash down there... didn't see a lot of FJ's around that town... have seen a LOT of Jeep's though.

Plan on the Starlite on Saturday night!

Indian Mtn is $16.25/night, but doesn't take reservations (first come first serve). What's up with that?! I'm not about to drive 10 hours from Milwaukee and have faith in that there will be a campsite for me when I arrive at 2a.m.

Mountain Lake is $17.50 and will take reservations.

What do you guys think is my best bet?

Indian Mountain! If you are going to be pitching a tent, worst case scenario... you introduce yourself to some of our volunteers that will be staying there (just look for Jeeps that aren't competition ready), and they'll hook you up with a plot of real estate to pup your tent on.

If you are tent camping and plan on arriving late, this is what to do: The gate for Indian Mountain will be closed, but not locked. Just open it up and drive in. Follow the signs to the camping area. As you enter the camping area the lake will be on your left. Go past the shower house and turn right onto the one-way road that circles around the shower house. If you don't see any open spots, turn right when you get back to the main road and drive past the shower house again and go straight to the overflow camping area. There is a large paved parking lot and a large grass covered area to camp in. If that is full, drive back around the semi-circle and look for any open grass area you can find, there is a lot of area there and it is all grass covered and maintained well. You should have no problem finding some place to pitch a tent.

If you have an RV or trailer, go to Indian Mountain and see if there is a spot available. If you can't find a spot, go to the Texaco by the highway. They have some spots available behind the gas station up on the hill. They have electric and water, but no sewer. If you don't like that, you can go 12 miles north on 75 to Williamsburg to the Williamsburg motel. They have a small campground behind the motel with hookups and even a shower house.

If you don't like any of that, then Mountain Lake is also a good call, and so is Cove Lake State Park.

Tim

You all suck. :flipoff2:

I won't be there, it's the wife's birthday, and our 6th wedding anniversary :eek:

I've suggested a road trip to scenic Tennessee, but evidently she's smarter than I give her credit for, and she's 'wise' to my alterior motives.

So, you all have fun, drink a few cold bullets for me, help Spacetoast out as I'm one of his usual saturday night mechanics :flipoff2: and hopefully Syko will make it past three obstacles this time. :D


I want to see lots of pics! Oh, and I'll send my 'hat money' with SpaceGhost too!

You're doing something wrong......

I just took my wife to Attica last weekend for our 7th anniversary.

Last year for our anniversary we went to a Jeep Jamboree.

Took the heep out for a ride around the block tonight... WooHoo! I am there! Wife is gonna kill me in the morning: Left a 50' burnout in the driveway coming back in :D :D

Left to do: Take a leaf out of the rear to get it to settle down and work better. Tomorrow night.

Hey Syko- I finished tieing in the front hoop last night. I will be picking up the itty bitty 36s this weekend from Ken. You better hope it makes it through this weekend :eek: 350sammy is taking me 2 hours North of Tellico on Sunday to his proving grounds :D

Ahhhh... Rattle Rock. Tough stuff. Have fun.

Chad and especially TrailKeepers, thanks a ton dudes. I'll be bringing that info down with me. Hopefully there will still be some campfires burnin' at 2 or 3 a.m. when I get in.

BTW, I'll have 3 people, 2 tents, and a 'vertible.

So you got a chance to run Rattlerock Chad?

What did you think?

We have found another spot that is about half as long but probably a little tougher, we just have to get a trail made to it.

Only time I've been there, I was JAFO, and there was too much traffic on Rattle Rock itself. We ran some creek bed back in the back of the park (Dennis Stacy, Tim Rettig, and I). Looked like a lot of fun. I hope to get my Jeep down there before it goes away. :(

My plans have changed a little. I'll be staying at Indian Mtn campgound, not at the BW. My folks are bringing their 5th wheel up for the weekend. Can't pass up free room and board :D

Ouch... constipation of the weeny and your peeps are bringing their trailer park plastic automobile. Gonna be a rough weekend.

On a serious note... check out the TrailKeepers Forum, there is some info on there about eating on Saturday night at the campground... you may want to be involved.

As the ERoCC turns.....


Shupee's bringing Moose and I'm spotting for SpaceGhost. I think badassjeepguy is going to try to get his rig and compete this weekend, that would be sweet if he can tie up the loose ends and get the winch fixed. I believe he needs a spotter though, any takers?????

What's the word Rob, can you get the electric work done in time???? I can help out Friday if you need to tie up loose ends before tech.

Did you get the PM I forwarded you about the winch???

Also I thought of a couple guys who would be good spotters and will be at the comp. One of them (my first suggestion) would be 350Samurai from this board. He spotted me on multiple occasions this past weekend and did a damn good job because I never had to pull the cable :D I'd ask him first, maybe he'll quit spectating and get involved :flipoff2:

Any of you folks that ordered hats in the Chit-chat thread, listen up. I will have them tomorrow. I will post the exact costs in the other thread, I will bring them to ERoCC.

Looks like I have about 8 extra hats (logo, no name...) see me if you want one.

i wont be done for the event..... i wont have the rig untill monday after.... :(

which campground should i stay at? last minute ive decided to trek down from michigan to watch this rockcrawling thing. i wanna camp where everyone will be at and partying afterwards. im leaving friday afternoon. about a 6 hour drive.

Indian Mountain. Go to website for directions and such to Jellico. Just ask ANYONE in town, and they'll tell you where the campground is.

http://www.erocc.com/

The short of it... turn right off of I-75.
Follow through downtown, staying straight through only traffic light in downtown Jellico.
Watch for signs on your right for INDIAN MOUNTAIN STATE PARK.

cool.. thanks alot. i was thinking it was gonna be the Indian mountain one. i was on EROCC and it showed 2 campgrounds. i was just wanting to make sure i stayed at the right one. ill be there friday with a bone stock f-250 with a loud exhaust..haha

I'm trying like hell to be there, but not looking too good right now.

I heard through the grapevine there are a couple of wringers showing up to knock Shupee up side the head. Tell them Hi for me.

Shannon

Leaving tonight around 12:00 am. Be there around 10:00 am or so. Bringing plenty of beverages :D

Anyone who wants to help me change 5 beadlocks would be rewarded with beer (or wine coolers :rainbow: ). I'm putting on 36s so my rig runs the legend class. I have OBA and an impact to speed it up a little, if a few other guys could sacrifice an hour we could be done quick, especially if we find a second air source.

Probably doing the swap at the tech site. That way I can cruise my jeep down there and hang out until shupee shows with my new skins. Maybe play on that obstacle a little while I still have the 38s on.

Wait to you see my pink roll bar padding, syko is going to look like a stud in that drivers seat.

Hey Jeff, ToyTek, I got a good long side inner for you, the short side is mangled on the splines. I also have a housing with inners and birfs still inside on the trailer. I gotta confirm the mini and cruiser short sides are different, which opens some options for us.

Mini inners are different than cruiser inners...long and short...so those spares on yer trailer (which i bet you STILL haven't unloaded) are not usable on the Cruiser. :D

Originally posted by woody

No I haven't unloaded it yet. ToyTek has a mini so my offer helps him. What is the length difference on the short sides. If it's withing an inch I'll bet you can slide them into an ARB. I am almost positive I did that when I first swapped to mini disks.

But if not, they will help ToyTek out, and I'll be :)

damn....I'm gonna have to lay parts out on the garage floor tonight and check...got a 84 mini disassembled in the garage plus some Cruiser inners laying around....will break out the tape and let you know, but not before you leave for ERoCC!

Just to play it safe, if it's not too much trouble, could you bring them. Shupee told me he's bringing the 36" buckshots, but just to be on the safe side in case he gets swamped with other stuff and forgets we'd have those skins to use.

Actually I'm wondering which would be a better tire to use :confused: With having to air the MTR down less than a buckshot you could have the same static ride height, then it comes down to performance, and you don't see many folks running buckshots :D

If you ordered a hat go here (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=78671) for info.

Patooyee, the screwed up and didn't send me enough logo only hats, which means I won't have them until next week.. I can ship both to you though.. See the thread.

Jim

Thanks Mike I was going to have to find an extra knuckle or two to bring with me in case,THANKS.Kevin talked to Shupe this morning and he reminded the guys at the shop to remind him to bring those tires so you should be in good shape.If youhave a narrow wheel the Buckshots will do fine but if not I would run the MTRs.By the way did you measure your "38"s???

Originally posted by Toytek

I have 15x10 beadlocks, pretty wide. I measured my 38s to be 37.5" across. They only measure 35.5" tall though, too bad the measure cross sections :( I'll check when I get there just to make sure my caliper wasn't off.

Maybe in your area they don't run buckshots, but I know a BUNCH of people in my area that swear by them on mud and rocks and stuff. Not sure how they will work as a competition tire though. They usually have a pretty hard rubber compound.
