West Michigan Toyota Trail Ride

I'm getting a group of Western Michigan (LP) Toyotas together for a trail ride on Sunday April 15. Meetup at Subway across the road from Gun Lake Casino at 1000 for drivers meeting. Duration will be approximately 3 - 3.5 hours.

 

Interested, what trails are you going to run on.

 

Yankee Springs and Barry State Game Area.

 

Cool, I might try to make it. Do I need an ORV sticker?

 

Technically we are on "unimproved county roads" the entire time. I have mine, but that's because we use a lot of other trails with our club that do require them.

 

Thanks man, I am going to try and make it. I did get an ORV sticker, bought new fishing license, just got both.I am down by Kazoo, so pretty close. Hope I don’t trash my truck to bad.

 

Unless you hit a tree then you won't trash it. A few points (that have go-arounds) that can swallow trucks on less than 40s, but we'll go without damage - though pinstriping is a possibility. 4WD will be needed quite a few points, and if there is as much rain next week as they say then trucks will get covered in mud!

 

Hey y’all,

I know that I’m late to the group, but I just joined and I wanted to see if anyone is still going out with their Tacos? I have a 2020 TRD OR and would love to meet up with some fellow Tacoma owners. Let me know if the Kzoo/Western Michigan area is still active!

 

Yes, we are! We help to coordinate the Silver Lake "Toyota Takeover" each year, which you just missed! We have quite a few get-togethers and do runs in Yankee Spring, Dorr (Allegan trails), Lake County (Tin Cup, Little Manistee), and a few others.

 

Oh man, dang. I’m so bummed that I missed it! I really wanna get to know the West Michigan Tacoma owners better. Do you think you might be able to let me know when you guys are headed out next or when you guys will be meeting up? I’m eager to get my Taco out and have some fun with others!

 

You bet! Check your IM for more information.

 

I'd love to get in on this!

 

Stop by to our Two Trackers club meeting on Tuesday 4 May. We are doing an outdoor meeting (with food!) at the old Kent Count Road Commission building at 44th & Clyde Park in Grand Rapids. You could then meet with me and a few other local Toyota offroaders (along with some silly Jeep people and find out about our planned runs and events as well as get connected for our "impromptu" runs.

We are also going to provide a free pork BBQ dinner for anyone who attends, and we'll probably have a few cases of various soda. However it might be smart to BYOB and a folding chair to sit in. The fine details of this meeting are still being worked out, but Kelly has offered to smoke some meat for us and why not take advantage of that.

The Location will be at 4825 Clyde Park Ave SW, Wyoming MI.
The meeting will start at normal time (7:00pm) but the gate will open around 6pm maybe sooner depending on Rob's work.

It will pretty much be a meeting as normal, except outside. If the weather happens not to be on our side. We have access to a very large building on the property where we could have our meeting. The building used to be the old Kent County Road Commission garage and used to store snowplow trucks and other road working equipment. In other words its HUGE! so there is plenty of room to spread out.

So come enjoy some BBQ, our normal meeting, and hang out.

 

I recently just got a Tacoma and would love to join your group. Let me know what dates you have events so I can meet up with the group

 

Absolutely! You just missed our monthly club meeting (we had a member bring 30 pounds of BBQ brisket!) where we discussed coming events and such. Check out www.twotrackers.org for details on us. We are a family-friendly, stock-truck friendly club. We tread lightly, enjoy the out doors, and visit trails and locations throughout the state.
