2016 Appalachian Toyota Round-Up (Labor Day Weekend - Windrock Park, TN)

??? I've been registered for about a month

 

Was speaking to those who haven't...

 

Ok that's what I thought. Need more tacos this year!!!

 

I'll be making the trip down with @6odzila this year.

 

Bringing the Tacoma and my six year old son. Both of us are getting anxious.

 

I am not registered yet. :/ I hope to get registered by Thursday at least.

Lost my job on June 30th, and just today finalized the stuff for a new job that I hopefully start next week. Going to make sure I can take off for this so soon from starting the new job as I also need 3 days off in the middle of the week the first week of November as well.

 

I was thinking about going to this, but I am a total novice with a stock vehicle.
The FAQ says that 31" tires are minimum. Would the 265x70r16 on my 2004 Tacoma double cab TRD offroad (locking rear diff) be sufficient? They are, by tire size calculators, 30.6" tall tires.

 

I just paid for my registration.

Now to get everything ready to drive up there and such!

 

Just got an email apparently registration has been extended to 8/5

 

I got my registration done for camping, also got a friend that lives in Tennessee that owns a Tacoma that is going to join me. His is 2WD so he did the passenger registration with camping and is just going to meet me there and ride with me on the trails! Havent seen him in a couple years, so will be pretty fun.

Also, the new job doesn't care that I need off as it was something that was planned before I was hired. So will have Thursday, Friday, and Monday off. Will be leaving Texas really early Thursday morning to make the drive.

Now I just need to finish getting a couple things for the truck for the journey along with finish out some projects that I never did for it.

@G.T. is your friend coming as well or can I make an order from him and have you bring it?

 

Ha, I have some of his magic that he is offering up in trade for "donations."

 

I will be more than happy to donate to his charity.

 

@SMKYTXN Are you going to this?

Trying to decide if to leave Wed night and stay in Little Rock or Memphis.... or leave Tyler at like 5AM Thursday morning and make the 800 mile drive in one day. Not sure if anyone else from Texas is going, so not sure about a caravan or not.

 

I think I'm going to be leaving here Friday around lunch time as I have to get a dialysis treatment in before I leave and he earliest I can get in the chair is 06:00.

 

I was until the day job got in the way. My offsite job was moved up a week and messed up my plans. I'm still a sponsor, but won't be there in person.

 

Well damn, was going to buy some more patches from you.

Well heck, is anyone from Texas going to this???

 

Want me to try and save you a spot Thursday somehow to park?

 

Thanks, just camping with the Tacoma, no trailer.

 

Will do!

 

FYI Southeast Overland will be there and if you happen to want something, you can PM them on Facebook and make a prepurchase and have them bring it with them to the event. I am getting a few items from them... they also may or may not give a discount if you do.
