Can't wait to get that "stuff"

 

Summers campground is about 10 minutes from the park. The "primitive" camp area is about 10 acres or so, with nice amenities. There's even a pool and a fishing pond as well. Much nicer than camping at the park...get up ten minutes early and you're there at the same time, lol.

Should I start a new thread for this run or just keep track here? I can bring a grill if we wanna barbecue one evening, I can bring some meat too.

Hi guys, just dropping in to say hi, I will be part of this area next week. Moving from Ca to Naperville. I hope to get a chance to meet some of you.

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks, so I do have 1 question even after reading so many threads on it, just like to get a more specific feel since you guys are in the area. I have a 11' 2wd taco, will AT tires be my friend when it snows? what do you guys use?

 

I'm going for Duratracs in a month. More aggressive tread and better than like BFGs in the snow. Hit up LoadedTaco (Peter) for awesome pricing through ChiTown 4x4. That's who I'm using just need $$

 

Welcome to the neighborhood

 

What's up and welcome. I had a 2wd Tacoma before with nitto terra grapplers....they did just fine. I thought they were the best I've used up until now on my current Tacoma with the Goodyear duratracs. They are fantastic in both rain and snow. Plus these are wide ass 295's. Usually a wider tire doesn't grip quite as well. These are great.

 

awesome, I will give the duratracs a try. Thanks

 

2 weeks until Badlands (June 21st). Who else is in?

1) Geekhouse23 - one day (21st); not overnight (as of right now; 6/6)
2) NwiTACO-21st-22nd Camping at summers
3) Loaded Taco - Probably camp at the park.

 

Don't know if there's any more TW guys, but I have several others meeting up with me. Should be a ggod group. May even have a stock Colorado coming along

Can't wait to have Peter get some of his awesome video coverage!

 

Big Event tomorrow morning if anyone is interested!

Tomorrow at 8:00am - 11:00am

York Town Mall
Downers Grove, Illinois 60148
Lot just south of Mcdonalds.


Come out and join us for the first cross club meet and greet. Kick Tires with Jeep, Toyota, Land Rover, Hummer, Scout, Ford, Chevrolet and Chrysler.. We have permission to use the lot from 8 to 11 that day.. With the understanding that if we cause riffraff, we get kicked out. Here is an image of the lot and where we are allowed to park on the event day.

 

I wish I could make it but I have to work.

 

I'm still up in the air, I've had other plans already for that weekend that I'm trying to get out of......so I can't commit just yet.

 

I would love to come, but I have to knock out some fab work. Lemme me know when the next one will be and I will do my best to work it into my schedule! Have fun!

 

Well guys, I no longer have my Tacoma. Traded for a 2014 Mazda 6 and CX-5. Definitely miss my truck though. Wish I would have joined up with you guys more.
