Sand Sand everywhere, where is that rock garden I heard about ? Looks like a good get together.

[freefallmarine]

I bet it was a blast!

[corax]

looks like a good time. for those of us who weren't able to attend: WE NEED MORE ACTION SHOTS! I wanna see massive sand roost . . .

I like the tent, it's connected to the rear of the 'runner, right? What's that bit coming off of the tent to the left in the picture?

[2ndGen]

it was a hoot. i got a late start friday night after work, had to wire/mount 2 lightforce 240's on the bumper alos fitting a mini skid plate between the bumper and engine skid plate. i pulled in 6am saturday morning, it was cold and wet. i didn't make a reservation in advance that ended up me leaving at 11pm because i couldn't get a camping pass.

i was so tired to take pictures due to lack of sleep, here is the group pic:

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w38/tonniechengca/99%20SR5/DSCN0055.jpg

i was too chicken to try this during daytime:

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w38/tonniechengca/99%20SR5/DSCN0051.jpg

but we did went out for a late night run, the darkness brought up my courage( basically because i couldn't see what the hell i was getting myself into) i did go through some big drops and climbbed some big ridges, at the last one, i was airborn and landed hard while in 2nd gear 4wd Hi wide open throttle, and that lack of experience caused a big cloud of black smoke coming from under the truck, "i think i toasting my brand new marlin clutch"....duh! thanks to fellow members of the group led me out after the clutch cooled down and i made home without a glitch.

i, so as everybody eles had a great time like always, can't appreciate enough of the organizers and sponsor's who made this fun event a reality.

[Scuba]

This was a blast, Unfortunatley i dont have any highspeed action shots.
But this was fun.

Many thanks to Chris, Both of them actually, Tofer helped me rebuild my hub on the sandy and windy beach, but we got it working.
Chris and Lance did a great job setting everything up.
I had a blast wheeling the dunes and meeting everyone.
Cant wait till bigbear !!

[04 Rocko Taco]

Looks great guys!!!
I'm jealous!!!!

[Scooter25]

Had a great time playing in the big kids sand box with everyone. Only carnage was a sidewall @ Garcia Ridge, but it's better now (thanks road hazard). Hopefully the few pics that Andres had taken get posted. Thanks Chris and Lance for all your hard work. :clap: :thumbup:

[L33T35T Tacoma]

I had a great time everybody. got home around 5:30 after many rest stops. I have lots of pictures and video, will be posting them later.

Steven, glad to see you made it home. Get some new tires on that bad boy and it'll be a mean ass truck! I'll text you my myspace address later on.

I would also like to personally thank Splash Cafe for generously offering us the clam chowder and chili for those that wanted a warm hearty meal. Thanks also to Demello Offroad, Icon Dynamics, Lightforce, Northridge Toyota, Poly Performance and Sand Addiction Magazine for everything. Please make sure to show your support to all of the vendors that helped support this event as they work hard to make sure we enjoy our hobbies!

This year we featured a new event called the GPS challenge. The purpose of the challenge was to locate 5 GPS coordinates which had a challenge buried at each site. Complete the challenge and return back to base camp. We had a handful of challengers but only 2 members successfully locate and complete the challenge. Here were the 5 coordinates that the challengers had to face:

Site #1
N 35.03.527 W 120.38.355
Challenge: What state are we in?

Site #2
N 35.03.697 W 120.37.736
Challenge: SAS or LT?

Site #3
N 35.03.094 W 120.37.271
Challenge: Which came first; the chicken or the egg?

Site #4
N 35.03.226 W 120.36.931
Challenge: 2WD or 4WD?

Site #5
N 35.02.859 W 120.36.735
Challenge: What vehicle are you driving?

*** Site #2 proved to be really difficult to find because this coordinate was located right behind the event logistics booth. You had to literally walk around the camp site to find this spot which proved to be challenging and funny to watch :)

We hope that everyone had a great time out in the dunes. We thank everyone for making this event a great success. We hope that we can expand our GPS challenge next year by adding a few physical challenges this time as well as more participants!

We can't wait until next year and look forward to see all of you again!

looks like a good time. for those of us who weren't able to attend: WE NEED MORE ACTION SHOTS! I wanna see massive sand roost . . .

The tent connected to the rear of the 4runner. I can swing the tire carrier out and get more room to load and unload stuffs.
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa284/net4n6/Pismo08/Picture006.jpg
I got the "thing"/canopy on the side of the 4runner for $10 at REI garage sale. I don't know what or where it came from. I saw it for 10 bucks and think I make a "poor man" canopy out of it. I didn't completely set it up as far as tie it down good.

[net4n6]

Here are my contributions to the pictures. Hope you enjoy. I want to thank Mark (pulled me out), Andrie, and (sorry I forgot your name) with girlfriend/wife for helping me air down my tire.

Got stuck before air down.

[slosurfer]

I'll have to make this one quick:

Thank you all who came out, braved the wind, and had some fun in the sand! I apologize if I did not get around to meeting with everyone and getting to ride with you all. We plan on adding more event staff next year, so that we will be able to mingle more and ride more. :)

Huge thanks to all of the vendors and members who helped to support this event and insure its success. I am continually impressed with the generosity of the businesses in our sport. Please remember to support these businesses when it comes time to add to your rig.

Lance, thanks for all the help getting this organized and keeping us on track. Also, thanks for getting Chaos Edition out this year. :)

Jenn, thanks for getting the kids prizes set up and passed out.

Jenn, Justin, Dan, Sean, Avy, Sarah, and April, thank you for serving up the clam chowder and letting us use the RV to serve it. This was a huge help and allowed me a little time to get around and chat with everyone.

Milton, thanks for getting us the raffle tix at the last minute! That saved us!

I'm sure there are others that I'm leaving out, so thank you to all!

One last thing, thank you for doing such a great job policing the area for all the trash. I checked when we left and it was very clean. In fact, there was trash in the area when I first set up camp, so we definately left it in better shape.

I hope to see you all next year!

Chris

[Scuba]

Darn GPS challenge!!!!
Twas fun though, ill have to get one by next year so i can do it myself

Anyone thats in the area should deff think of joining next year!!
Thanks again guys, ill put the rest of my pictures up later

[Seanz0rz]

had a blast! ill post up what pictures i got later today.

[DHC6twinotter]

Well we pulled in about 12:15 last night with some really strong winds. We had an awesome time in Pismo, and it was great to meet everybody.

Thanks to Chris and Lance for putting together such an awesome event!

Also, thanks to Jenn and Justin for being so hospitable to us east coast folks!

I'll post up some pics later, once I can load my pics on the other laptop.

[Seanz0rz]

huge thanks to chris for resetting the bead on Jenn's 4runner.

To all those who missed it: WTF???

[net4n6]

Thanks to Chris, Lance, and people behind the scence to make the event happened. Thanks Jen for the Claim Chowder and toys for the kids. The Claim Chowder was good. It was so windy and I am glad there was Claim Chowder instead of cooking in the wind w/sand.

[Tofer]

Finally just got home (Monday at 1pm)..... I left pismo sunday at 10am, with a quick pitstop in modesto and stockton, then headed north again. i made it to Redding before running into over heating issues. in my lack of sleep for the last 5 days mind state, i decided to just pull the thermostat then wait for the RTV to setup..... it ran a lot cooler after that, ie just a hair over C needle... NO heat over the pass and over night. I made it 40 miles into Oregon before i had to stop for a nap. I backed my truck into a big tree (quad anti-theft device) then slept in the cab... not the most comfortable thing ever, mix that with no heat and i wasnt a very happy camper..


BUT overall i had a blast!!!! it was an awesome week/weekend and it was great to put faces with usernames. thanks to everyone for making it well with the 2400+ mile drive. i'll try to get pics up tonight but no promises cuz i have a hot shower and a comfy bed which i havent seen in a week calling my name.

[DHC6twinotter]

Thanks for a great event! :thumbup:

only pic uploaded right now (and only cuz its my new myspace pic) i'll get the rest later.

[chrisyota65]

dame it looked fun. hope to come out next year

[AutoShop]

I had a blast out at Pismo. Minus the fact that our whole group was sick except for Dan. Dan is a super human!! I got a UY shirt from Lance. I should probably give him a hand job for it. Hahaha!

[YotaFun]

Wow!
What a great time!
Can't wait till next year!

Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the event cause I was to busy driving or BS'ing around.
But I hope to gather enough pics from you folks to make a mini video of the trip.
If anyone did take any vids please PM so I can try to get a hold of those from you to put in the vid.

It was great to meet everyone.
Lance and Chris thanks for the Night ride.
It was awesome up until we had to dig out the F250..
Hope your recovery is quick Lance, and hope you get your suspension tuned quick.
Chris, tell April it was great meeting her for the short time I did.
Hopefully soon we will be able to do more trips once I get out there.

For the rest of the UY family, it was great to meet the west coast branch and hope to see a lot more of you in the future.
Being with everyone felt like home and I really can't wait till next year.

Thanks to all vendors again for you contributions to the event.
I actually have Total Chaos Products to go on Tess!
Just have to get some upper a-arms and sway-away's and then I will be almost as cool as Lance and Bruce, who unfortunately we missed Bruce this year.

Another Huge thanks to Jenn and Justin for the great hospitality, even though they put Dan an I to work, though it was my pleasure since I will be working on them even more in the future.

And to the UY family, it was great to meet a whole new branch of the family.
I hope in the future I will be able to wheel with everyone more.
I felt at home with everyone and can't wait to be a permanent fixture on the west coast.

Again HUGE thanks to everyone and can't wait till next year! w00t w00t!!!

[Seanz0rz]

i have a bunch of videos avy, ill get them to you somehow. pictures to come up tonight, gotta delete the blurry ones... haha.

[corax]

I call first dibs on an empty bed for next years event . . . who wants to sponsor sleeping quarters (or the floor) and a spare seat for an ex-pat Californian?

[mysticzt4r]

Another great Pismo meet, thank you Chris and Lance for everything you did to make this event a success. It was great meeting everyone and thank you to all the help me out in the dunes. I will post pics soon.

[xonetruthcrewx]

Well so far I am rather disappointed in you guys. I mean, there really hasnt been any good jumping pics yet. Aside from Justin in his truck that is. So what, Bruce and I dont show up and thats it? Hell, if I had been able to come I would have showed you guys up in my Touareg, and it rolling on 20's! Haha. Just kidding. Well, kind of.

Anyways....... looks like I definitely missed out. I was thinking about it the whole weekend. Haha. Hopefully things go as planned and I will be there next year with something long traveled. Not sure what it will be yet, but it will be a Toyota for sure. Very possibly a 07+ Tundra with Total Chaos goodness. I need a full size truck, and why not one with LT. Werd.

[slosurfer]

:laugh: Hey, its not my fault my pig weighs twice as much as the pickup! :D

[xonetruthcrewx]

No excuses! You should have jumped the Van. :flipoff:

[slosurfer]

I mobbed the van on Sunday (most everyone was gone) due to it being in "hunker down" mode because of the wind on Friday and Saturday. I'll more than likely have just the van out for surf n turf. It did so good out in the sand, had it up to 30 at one point. It was pretty cool to mob past stuck fullsize trucks. :laugh: Lots of funny looks and smiles from people while driving it.

I did jump the 4runner, a lot! Just not many pics, lol.

[xonetruthcrewx]

Thats awesome Chris. I used to drive a van just like yours around in high school. Not 4wd though. Im sure that was a good thing however. If it was 4wd I would have tore it up bad, and I would have been in some big trouble. Haha. Oh the times in that van. It did some pretty good donuts in dirt fields. Haha.

Sweet pic!!! I'm so glad you were able to make it down. It was nice to finally meet you. Thanks for donating a raffle prize as well and thanks for rebuilding Scuba's hub for him in the blowing sand.

[Seanz0rz]

i have a bunch of short videos ill try to get up before the week's end.

[DHC6twinotter]

Here is the link to my complete album: http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm233/DHC6twinotter/Pismo%202008/

[AutoShop]

Fat ppl shouldnt be allowed at the beach. Im burning that pink tank top as we speak. YUCK!

[slosurfer]

Shane, I don't think that rig you saw matches any of the ones we had here. There were plenty of other toyotas out there though that weren't with our group.

[bulldog]

My trip report.

I arrived Friday just after lunch and it was way too windy to setup a tent or anything. So we dug some windshielding in front of Mystic's RV rental and spend most of the afternoon hanging out behind or in it (That was a very good idea to get the RV).

Later in the afternoon the wind died down a bit and most folks started coming in. Campsites were setup and the normal festivities took place with food, drink and the normal campfire banter.

Sat morning the weather was pretty good.

So we went out for a group pic.

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6500.JPG

And everyone one was hanging out on the dune for Lance's briefing.

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6509.JPG

This made some people sad

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6510.JPG

And some happy

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6514.JPG

Some dogs took there owners for a walk

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6515.JPG

To relax in the sun

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6520.JPG

Then there were the stray photographers as well

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6533.JPG

While everyone were trying to get into their trucks

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6535.JPG


Continued........................................

[bulldog]

We then went out in the dunes, were there were a few trucks stuck and some of the normal fun out on the dunes.

Then there were the Ozzies parking on the dunes to take pix of their trucks stuck on the crest

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6537.JPG

And some more posing

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6541.JPG

Trying to look cool :cool1:

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6549.JPG

While other folks simply were just cool hanging out

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6551.JPG

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6547.JPG


We then went back to camp for some lunch. Unfortunately the wind picked up again and Mark, Scott and I decided to head out to Garcia Ridge to escape the wind and sand.

I tucked in my ham antenna to avoid low branches and thus we used CB for comms. I then seemed to loose comms with Scott and Mark, and decided to shoot a poser shot on Garcia while waiting for them to catch up.

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6557.JPG

Fortunately Mark was able to get on the CB eventually and requested me to come back as Scott ran into some trouble on one of the climbs. He pinched his sidewall on a rock and Mark's hi-lift was at camp. It took me a while to get back as the trail is narrow turn around points are limited. Mark and Scott quickly got the flat swapped, once we got some sand out of my hi-lift (note to self , get a cover for the hi-left mechanism).

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6561.JPG

We then proceeded to go further up Garcia and covered a number of the hills. Mark and I also switched over to ham radio. As we got to a very nice parking spot on the side of the trail to take pix, Lance was able to contact us on the ham. He was way down South on the dunes and we were way up on Garcia Ridge, about 25 miles apart with plenty of hills and mountains. Very cool !!! After we were informaed that the clam chowder dinner was ready, we decided to stop 2 miles form the end of Garcia and head back.

On the way some folks just had to pose

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6563.JPG

Continued.....................

[bulldog]

Back at camp we enjoyed some great chowder fro dinner. The organizers then did the prize draws for the raffles, were Jon won way too many prizes gain :jester: I think we need to audit this next year. As last year there were some very cool prizes, and this time round they were made in bundles for a nicer hamper (and to save time).

The night was rounded of with some more campfire chat and drink, while some folks tried grilling chicken and some other small animals on the campfire :jester: At least we ended the night around 1 am vs 2:15am for Friday :guitar: :guitar:

Sunday morning everyone started packing and cleaning up the campsite. As usual the site was left in better shape than we got it, which shows the quality of folks coming to the event. Most folks decided to part ways and head home, but Masa (and family/friends), Jon and I headed out to Pozo on the Pozo Rd. Pozo Rd is a nice fun drive and the quickest way (mostly) to get there. We also didn't want to hit too much dirt road as there was a minivan with us.

We had a nice picnic out by the fire station on Hi-mountain rd just before the dirt starts. The folks in the minivan headed home, and the rest of us headed up to the lookout tower on Hi-mountain. After a pretty quick drive we found that the gate was closed and we had to hike the last 1/2 mile to the tower.

So we shot some pix from the tower area towards the ocean

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6584.JPG

Some group shots with Jon, Amy, Becky and Masa

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6601.JPG

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6629.JPG

While we were there some guys were biking up

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6609.JPG

Garcia Ridge from HI-Mountain

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6625.JPG

Then I did some paparazzi pix of Amy while walking down (maybe a new career for me)

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6644.JPG

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4RJ08/IMG_6652.JPG

Continued...........................

On our way back some people thought we need to play in a little stream. But first some inspection was required

Yeah I know, my 4Runner had a tendency to nose dive this last weekend. Especially on the dunes :jester:

Again I just want to thank the organizers for a great event, and also all the folks I met and could chat/wheel with. It is events like these that help to build a stronger wheeling community.

[cplvc]

Here are my pics. Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for putting this event together, we had a great time and met some new UY folks.

Haha, I can throw it in the freezer tonight so it will keep longer. Although, really if you drove all the way down here, we could just hit up the one in SLO for some fresh stuff. (the one in SLO is nice with smaller lines)

[Seanz0rz]

wouldnt start. cranked for hours, just wouldnt start. plenty of fuel, to the point of it dripping out of the engine. we saw at least a little spark. so yea, NO idea on that one. way to go tony...

[X-Tool Pimp]

HAHA did you disconect the batt while towing, or just leave the key on and fry the points

[Seanz0rz]

batt was disconnected while towing. it wanted to start, soooo bad, just wouldnt.

[slosurfer]

It got pissed when it found out it was at the 4runner Jamboree and not the LC's Surf N Turf. Decided right then and there, that it wasn't going to start. :laugh:







I heard Tony installed a gremlin in it, while everyone was working on the other vehicles. :wrenchin:

[Scuba]

Anyone mind if i steal a couple of these for "the space"????

[elripster]

Lance's 4th gen looks good. Those trucks really come together when you add some lift and tires.

Frank

[net4n6]

I already thinking about next year. It was my first time there so I didn't know what to expect. I brought too much "craps" that took me forever to setup camp. I already plan what to take and not to take next year. I will have the Staunt, tires deflators next year. Oh!! stronger skid plate.

[slosurfer]

Hey Tyler, I know what you mean, when the whole family comes, it's amazing what we bring along. :laugh: I've cut back but I still bring too much crap. :hillbill: That is one thing that I love about these events, you can check out others setups and learn what will work better for you.

If you don't end up getting the Staun Deflators, you could always go the cheap and easy way. Just get a valve core puller and a good pressure gauge, I suggest a pulller that has a handle like a screwdriver. It makes airing down real fast, just make sure to throw a box of extra valve cores in the glove box in case you lose one.

[zombie]

Now this just makes me so jealous, what I wouldn't give to have wheeling like that around where I live in Toronto. Looks like you all had a great time. If I leave now I might make it there for next year..... :(

[xonetruthcrewx]

I like my ARB deflator way better than my old Staun deflators. Cheaper too.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

I didnt really get to show off my air down system to anybody ;-( Only steven saw it. Mark saw it 2 years ago

Next year everybody can use it, lol

[slosurfer]

I saw it two years ago. :tongueout: :laugh:

Next year you'll have to whip it out more. :laugh:

[L33T35T Tacoma]

my girlfriend might get mad if I whiped it out more :tongueout:

[slosurfer]

Condensed all the event stuff into one missile case. Of course I had to customize it so I knew which one was for Pismo. :D

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e113/slosurfer27/Pismo%204RJ08/IMG_8309.jpg

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e113/slosurfer27/Pismo%204RJ08/IMG_8308.jpg

If I can find the space, I may need to head to LA to pick up more of these. :D Thanks for hauling these up here Lance. :thumbup:

[all_set]

Missile case huh. Looks a bit sturdier than the totes I use. Army surplus in town? (where'd ya get them?)

[slosurfer]

There's a guy in LA area who has a ton of these and selling them for $10. Lance picked them up for me and then used them to haul his stuff and the event stuff up here. They were real handy for the event. I ended up using one for the event stuff. I've got to figure out what to do with the other two. :D

I think the guy has to be out of his place soon, so you can contact Lance (goodtimes) and see if he knows what's up. They are huge about 50"x22"x19" If I can find the room, I may see about getting more.

[expatoz]

Sorry guys, I'm too lazy (and ill) to post the pix a second time, so check them out here.. http://www.toyota120.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3972

Thanks again to all, but especially to Chris and Lance. You guys are awesome.

One suggestion for next year, a bigger fire pit to fit more people. The only spot available to sit/stand on St night was in the direct line of the smoke so we fired up another fire to relax around.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Just FYI, the max fire pit size by code is 3x3 and 2 feet tall. and we know how nazi those camp guards are...

[slosurfer]

Yeah, I agree we'll have a bigger pit next time. They don't worry about that code unless you're being stupid. Next time no vehicles inside the perimeter other than trailers or to drop something off. This will also help us to have a bigger fire. That was my bad as I was unable to be there when the majority showed up and parked inside. No biggie, with the wind, it worked out alright. That way the kids can play in the center and we can have a big fire pit.

[Unionjack]

Just FYI, the max fire pit size by code is 3x3 and 2 feet tall. and we know how nazi those camp guards are...


Talking of Nazis :loser:, did anyone get busted this year for more than 15 mph. If not, that's great, those warnings ahead of time did the trick :tongueout:.

[Unionjack]

Thanks again to Chris and Lance, another well organized event. Great chowder and the GPS game was fun (still wondering about those coordinates):confused: . The raffle was awesome I got just what I wanted. Yeah you need to get some more help so you can mix it up a bit more (more than willing to help).

Great meeting all you Yota guys and gals good company, good time and great rigs.

Group, slightly different perspective.

Came across this guy, in the middle of no where. A couple of ATVs buzzed by with a slight sideways glance. The fella seemed pleased to see me, tried digging him out, no go, so a little tugging was in order. He was very grateful, and I am sure I heard him mumble "next time I'm bringing a shovel or a toyota" :rofl: :rofl:

Sorry guys, I'm too lazy (and ill) to post the pix a second time, so check them out here.. http://www.toyota120.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3972

Thanks again to all, but especially to Chris and Lance. You guys are awesome.

One suggestion for next year, a bigger fire pit to fit more people. The only spot available to sit/stand on St night was in the direct line of the smoke so we fired up another fire to relax around.


Hey Mark, it's not that difficult to copy and paste :flipoff: you wanker. On a serious note sorry you not feeling good.

[Scuba]

Thanks again to Chris and Lance, another well organized event. Great chowder and the GPS game was fun (still wondering about those coordinates):confused: . The raffle was awesome I got just what I wanted. Yeah you need to get some more help so you can mix it up a bit more (more than willing to help).

All and All, I had a great time.
I cant thank Chris and Lance enough for all the helpful info leading upto the event and for organizing the event period

This is an event I plan on Attending annually

[slosurfer]

:thumbup:Sand Addiction Magazine (http://www.sandaddiction.com/digital34/) :thumbup:

I was in Borders this morning and went over to pick up the Toy4wdOwnermag since I let my subscription lapse. I decided to look for Sand Addiction Magazine who was one of our awesome sponsors.

They had a nice little article about the Pismo 4runner Jamboree in their News Section.

Not sure if this link will work to the digital mag, but it is on page 14!
Feb. 09 issue (http://www.sandaddiction.com/digital34/)

Dan and Luong got some photo credits. :thumbup:

Thank you to Newell Dunn at Sand Addiction Magazine for hooking us up with the cool swag and the article. :thumbup: :clap:

If the link doesn't work, click the link at the top of the post to go to their home page and find your way over to this issue. You may have to put your name and email addy to access the digital issue, but it's totally worth it. :D

[Cebby]

I was able to access it via your link. Nice coverage!

[iceman601]

Sweet...now I gotta go pick one up. Thanks Chris

[DHC6twinotter]

Awesome!

That makes two magazines that I know of who has published some of my pics. :D

Maybe I should start a career in offroad photography. :laugh: Seriously though, I'm glad my pics could be used to help support the event. :thumbup:

[DHC6twinotter]

We need to put together an east coast shindig. :D

[Scuba]

7TH ANNUAL 4RUNNER JAM RANDOM PLUG !!! :bling:

[Good Times]

We're working on logistics already for the 7th Pismo event. We'll setup a new thread once we get some of the foundation all setup. :)

[corax]

I don't want to give another site a plug here, so I'll leave their name off of it

Takeover 2009 will be held at Rausch Creek Off Road Park in Joliet,
PA on July 31st, Aug 1st and 2nd. Three days of wheelin fun.

Camping will be at Rausch Creek this year, as Echo Valley has shot themselves in the foot. Rausch has no showers or running water, so if you're going to need that type of thing, there's a truck stop that has decent showers right down the road. (For a fee)

More info to come as this thing evolves, but I wanted to get the dates up for those people who actually plan things ahead of time.

Yep, working on it now. Hopefully we'll get something up real soon. :thumbup:

[Scuba]

Hah, Just messin with you 2. I know you guys got alot on your hands as it is...It would give me more incintive to get with the stupid insurance and get another rig already...:bling:

[Good Times]

Our top priority is to not conflict with any other scheduled events around the same time frame so once we get a weekend that has lots of potential we'll open it up to our community. :)

As for pismo... bah sand sucks ;)

[Scuba]

Tell me aboot it, I finally got the sand outta the shoes I was wearing that weekend...Note to self, wear better shoes ! :bling:

This even is usually associated as a mini-Northeast takeover...
But if some of the southern guys can make it up, that would be awesome!

Now you know why I'm always wearing those "ugly" crocs. Just shake and no more sand :)

I don't frequent other Toyota off road sites much, so that's good to know. Thanks!

one word: Xtratuf

http://www.xtratufboots.com/images/22172g.jpg

these are the same boots alaskan fisherman wears on the crab boat 20 hours a day, very comfy. works great for me the last couple years at pismo. it costs $60 but the pair i bought have lasted 6 years and i use them all the time while i'm out fishing, some trips are 5-7 days long.

[Edit - Good Times - Fixed bad url]

[slosurfer]

:laugh: Yeah, that's a good idea. Boogeyman's wife Stacey would always wear rain boots out there to keep the sand out. :laugh:

[Scuba]

Dood, That sounds like a reallllly good idea, Ill check that out :)

[DHC6twinotter]

I had to look through these photos again. What a great time.

Just over 3 weeks till the next event. :D
