: Toys for Tots Run at Badlands (IN)
SpaceGhost 11-06-2002, 06:58 AM Who's gonna make this event? Should be a wide variety of wheelers and rigs, getting together to help out those less fortunate. Info and directions to Badlands can be found .HERE (http://www.badlandsoffroad.com/)
Badlands Off Road Park in Attica Indiana is hosting this event on Saturday, December 7, 2002. You bring a new unwrapped toy and recieve discounted or FREE entry to the park. Same goes for the riders/passengers. This is a rain or shine event, and all 4x4's, motorcycles and atv's are welcome.
I have seen on other forums, local clubs that are rounding up their members for this event. Heard a rumor the Trailkeepers (hosts of Eroccs) are gonna be there.
Post up if your going, how many in your group, and how difficult the trails/rocks you wanna wheel. We should be able to hook up with other similar vehicles and "get it awn"!

EasyXJ 11-06-2002, 07:01 AM I'm in. I'll get some guys from my club to come out. I'm afraid of everything but green trail:D
Easy
Welby 11-06-2002, 07:13 AM Dammit that sounds fun. I wish I had a trailer :crybaby2:.. Too risky to drive that far and nuke something :(
rkcrawl 11-06-2002, 07:49 AM I won't be there, but sending toys to Chad...
FYI for those in the area as well:
GLJT will be doing their T4T event on December 15th in Chicago.
This will be their third year and it gets bigger and more fun every year.
... just an option for those that can't make the Attica event.

It really all depends on what I break over Thanksgiving weekend. My junk should be wheelable by then.:D I'll be there.
1TFROT 11-13-2002, 10:56 AM I was going to be there, but I exploded my rear driveshaft and need to get it fixed (need the extra money).
I doubt I'll be able to wheel that weekend.
CMK, I should be at the T4T GLJT outing. I did the last 2 years and it was fun. don't wanna miss this one. :D

EasyXJ 11-30-2002, 05:20 AM Make sure you bring plenty of different stuff flash. I've been wanting some vid's for my collection.
Easy
I am planning on making it in the fj60. My and the Kid and maybe the bro will be there.
Ricko.
Looks like I'll be in Fort Wayne the 4th-11th upgrading one of our offices and won't be able to make it:( Someone break something for me.
woody 12-02-2002, 11:39 AM I'm still planning it....drove the 40 from my house to my buddies for a cage yesterday morning (no top, no doors, no seats, no windshield, sitting on a milk crate, 20 degrees!). He and I met at lunch today and he thinks he may have the bending done by tonight or tomorrow morning. Weld up tomorrow night, paint Wed night, load Thurs nite, on the road Fri noon...
...sound like a good plan so far....heh

Well, That sounds like a deal. :D I'll PM you my cell #
Scott Mac. 12-02-2002, 02:37 PM Unfornunatly I won't be able to make it.
But I was there this past weekend and left a toy with Lisa to contribute for me.
Who in the hell dug this hole on Orange trail.

Yea, I was running the trail backwards when surprise, I find this at the top of the hill.
Dude, I totally couldn't tell that was a Cherokee. :flipoff2:
cm "the anti-vinyl" k
FT Lame guys,
Poor John's:eek: Yikes, hit one of the showgirls or at the very least brandy's, but poor johns? Man, unless they have gotten much better over the last couple of years, that place had some nasty chicks when I was in there.
For KICKASS mexican, hit Cebollas, good and cheap, it is behind the glenbrook mall, towards the movie theater, it will look busy, but you will get right in.
Let me know if you need any other resturant suggestions, I grew up there and am subjected to the fort over the holidays

Exactly the reason I like that joint ... $5 lap dances. :D

EasyXJ 12-03-2002, 05:40 AM Looks like I might be out, I've lost all electrical in my junk and I don't really have the time to fix it.
Easy
woody 12-03-2002, 05:51 AM that's no excuse....we STARTED bending tube last night for my cage...right now the cruiser has no cage, no seats, no fuel tank....planning to be on the trailer by Fri noon...
would have had more done, but blew two hydrauclic hoses on the ProTools....oops....
Get yer junk wired Sean!!

oooooh, $5 lap dances :evil: :D
EasyXJ 12-03-2002, 06:15 AM Woody, for you I'll give it a go:D I've been wanting to see what you're doing to your junk anyhow. Is your buddy with the Ranger gonna be there (can't remember his name, cool guy though)?
Easy
woody 12-03-2002, 08:48 AM Mike and the brown Rangie aren't making it....he sold his 38.5's and is dropping to 36's, but don't think he's bought em yet. (For some reason he's convinced he can get his front 44 to survive with stock joints, stock shafts, and the smaller tires....don't get it myself...but whatever)
Plus his tow junk is motorless - tossed a rod, so it's new 460 time for him.
I'm pushing my luck to make it, but have faith....I'm actually not as much worried about the Cruiser being done as the Lemon (motorhome) surviving the trip!!
BTW: CAMPING!! What's the name of that all-season spot just south of the Badlands and what are directions to get there? Be nice to not sleep in the Pamida lot again! lol Intend to arrive about 6ish on Friday evening.
redbaron 12-03-2002, 09:32 AM BTW: CAMPING!! What's the name of that all-season spot just south of the Badlands and what are directions to get there?
I think it is called Steam Corner. It is south of Attica about 16 miles on hwy 41. Hope this is what you are looking for.
badassjeepguy 12-03-2002, 12:57 PM ill be pullin in the area late thursday/ friday morn........... gonna play a little on friday then do some trails on saturday..... whats the weather gonna be like? my roof leaks a little :D
woody 12-03-2002, 01:31 PM Yahoo weather says lows on Sat of 28 and highs of 42 with cloudy skies....for me, that's a heat wave!
Steam Corners it is....
EasyXJ 12-03-2002, 07:45 PM I'm scared now, went out to the barn to hack on some wires and she fired right up. I think she's scared of me and a test light. Looks like I'll see ya on Sat. Woody. Of course, you might not recognize the 'ol girl, she's a bit different these days. Maybe I'll fire up the tire groover now that I have some free time.
Easy
woody 12-05-2002, 07:12 AM WOOHOO!! Cage completed last night....pulled it out for some final weld work on the underside stuff and to toss a coat of paint on it early tonight. If the Lemon starts, and I can figger out how to get the trailer out of the garage, I outta be all set. Got 3 wrapped toys all set to go.
Course, I'll be spending the "hurry up and wait" moments on the trail finishing up the little crap I don't remember right now....lol
Truck looks like a fawkin jungle gym...heh heh
EasyXJ 12-05-2002, 06:53 PM :mad: :mad: :mad: This fuckin' thing is driving me crazy. I don't think I'm gonna make it. She's dead again and I don't have a clue of what I should be doing with it. I don't even have the time to work on it tomorrow night, gotta take the GF's nephew to the Monster Jam in Cincy. I hope to see you guys but it looks very doubtful.
Easy
chumly2071 12-05-2002, 07:57 PM I'll be there with the big red ugly, and several friends from Bloomington, IL. I doubt we're going to get too radical, as a lot of our group is only mildly modified. Probably the green and orange trails, and some mini carnage at the quarry.
woody 12-06-2002, 06:30 AM I'm back into unsure mode myself....Cruiser is all set and the new cage is fawking awesome.
Unfortunately, the Lemon (motorhome) overheated the minute I hit the freeway this morning and is now at a local shop getting checked out...
