carolina's tacoma meet, anyone???

My sugestion is that during the month of dec. We start looking at make the plans that way we have dec and jan to make the plans and it gives eveyone 3-4 months to get everything ready vac plan work scheduled. Yes sometimes i try to plan to early i just want the best chance to get everyone who wants to go.

 

I'm down for anything, now or later, just let me know what you guys decide.

 

I've been sitting back reading your threads about planning your Tacoma Meet.
I live in Delaware, would love to help out, but don't know your region very well. My son and I would love to participate when the time comes. We don't have much 4-wheelin here. Have to go to PA or WV. Found a web-site w/ lots of available clubs, but mostly Jeeps though!

I work for Toyota and I think your idea is great. My 2 cents worth.

As somebody mentioned before, you are not going to please everybody by individual threads/ requests, etc. I suggest a trial trip end of Oct/First of Nov. for anybody that can make it, especially many of you "biting at the bit" for the last 2 months! Wherever the event is, it will be fun and can be reviewed for the Spring Main Event.

In the meantime I think you should develop a small committee for the planning of the Spring Event after the trial event, pick a firm date and location and move ahead from there. If you have the event end of March/April that would give everybody 3-4 months to plan.

With the extra time maybe you could get some area Toyota dealers to advertise or help sponser event? I wonder if there are any local 4-wheelin' clubs in the area that might give some advice. There might even be a track somewhere for part of the event. One thread was worried about Pre-Runner 4-wheelin". How about Sand/Dirt Drags?1/8 mile, no paddles, just for fun! Maybe a Toyota dealer would throw in some prize money?

By the way I am a Delaware transplant, no Yankee! I grew up 4-wheelin" in Oregon. I can slam some beers, but sounds like I won't be able to keep up with some of you. later

 

Some good ideas there tacochef.

Join up for the convoy down I-95. TJOpilot, and I will pick you up on our way through Delaware, and then a short stop-over outside of DC to pick up navysob and TacoZilla. Awesome, our convoy is now 5 strong.

 

Sounds like a plan!

 

yah mav... sounds great to me!!

 

Lets get this show on the road.............

 

Just read through this whole thread. I'd really love an excuse to drive to NC. However, I'd need a LOT of planning time, since I'd need to take a couple weeks off to do it. I'm not up to 1000 mile days anymore Also I work for a federa; agency, and have to schule leave over one week close to six months in advance. If you set something firm I'm interested, but realistically........

 

he he he i just got a line on a 38ft goose neck trailer....now if I can just build that ultimate taco i could haul all my Taco's down ...hmm may have to be a dualie

 

this is kind of an update, so we will plan off of this. uwharrie natl forest closes for winter on december 15th, and reopens april 1st, so its definetely gonna be after april. im gonna say either at the end of april, or sometime in may, plan a good weekend(friday,saturday,and sunday), and we can camp there, and whoever wants to fish some(when we are done riding for a while.....im gonna fish) can do so. it will be good ol campfire eating too.......man i love the relaxation of it all!!!!! so when we get it planned......hopefully everyone can make it...........................carolina alliance style baby!!!

 

he he 5 strong convoy may become more.... I found a cab only...no doors no dash nothing it was flood recovery....thinking lol...i know i can get 6.5 gm diesels in running trucks for 900...so there would be my base engine/tranny/transfer

 

I just found out that one of my wife's friends is moving down to SC in DEC. or Jan. If I can coordinate it right, I'd love to come down for the meet. I figure she can visit with her friend for the weekend while I get to go out and play! If, and it's a BIG if, I can do this, I'll be coming from midwest PA. About an hour north of Da Burgh (Pittsburgh).

 

As it gets closer keep us informed. We tentatively have a 5 strong convoy headed down from this area (6 if you can make it). The longer the line of Tacos all rolling together down 95 the better. You can join up with TJOpilot and I outside of Philly, we'll pick-up Tacochef as we roll through Delaware, and then we join up with Navysob and Tacozilla (with as many Tacomas in tow as he can manage LOL) outside of DC.

 

Will do. I will have to tie up a whole bunch of loose ends. I'll touch base once I find anything out.

 

what about me!?!? i thought u guys would want my report w/ the firearms division and whatnot...i wanna go!

 

wow so i just sounded like i was 9 years old...oh well 21 is close enough haha

 

What's up fellas. Just picked up an '07 TRD Sport and am new to TW. I'm in Richmond and definitely want to get involved in a Carolina campin'/tear it up kinda' weekend. I know there are Land Cruiser clubs around here that do some cool trips. Been lookin' in to it but haven't found much. Might be cool to team up with those guys. They know about alot of good spots.

 

welcome to tw bro, got any mods done to your taco yet?

 

Thank you sir. Other than a Leer shell nothin'. I'll have a pic' up shortly. Have some ideas but I've been reading around to make sure I don't do something stupid. F'ing great truck. Always wanted one.
