October 2015 Citrus/Croom Camp & Ride Weekend...

I doubt there will be an issue unless there's a crap ton of you. I know there's not as many RV spaces at Holder Mine as there are at Tillis Hill, but even if everybody currently on the list shows up that's only 7 spaces. There are quite a few tentatives on that list though so it's fairly likely that we'll need a lot less than 7. Plus there's a crap ton of primitive spaces at Holder Mine if you don't need electric and water hook ups. I, for one, will though. I have a feeling all be rockin' the fan sitting on a bucket of ice in order to be able to sleep, otherwise, I'd just borrow Frank's inverter to blow up my air mattress and I'd be good.

As far as wheeling with non-Taco/Toyotas, I've never known that to be an issue with the TW crowd here in FL. Sure, there might be a little friendly teasing, but we're generally inclusive of everyone (unless they're a reckless jerk endangering other trucks or lives) no matter what they're driving.

That said, while you guys are welcome to ride with us, we do kinda have an agenda. Not sure how it's going to work out just now, but since we'll only be riding Citrus for a day we'll probably just be hitting the high points.

 

Damn nissan guys

 

Our count shouldn't be more than 5, but I'll keep you posted. And yea, I'm bringing my cooler and fan creation as well.

Most people are cool but I thought I would ask just to be sure. I actually got kicked out of a Facebook South Florida Nissan Frontier group when they found out I was an Xterra. I was like, there is like 6 of us in South Florida that are 4x4, I don't think you should be that picky as I'm just looking for people to wheel with. So yeah, I ask now.

As far as agenda, its up in the air right now as the guy who was supposed to lead bailed due to work overtime. So I don't know the plan as of yet, whats your agenda and whats the high points?
Thanks!

Ahhhh haa! See I done told ya!

 

@importpower99 If it's just 5 of you, then there shouldn't be an issue at all unless there's some other event going down as well. Last December we did a weekend event and had the Orlando Jeep Club there as well, and there was a crap ton of them.

You got kicked out of a Frontier group for driving an Xterra? Seriously? That's messed up, lol. Probably for the best though. If that's the type of guys they were then they probably weren't that cool to hang out with anyway. I can't imagine dissing someone like @GuyHuey just because he drives a 4runner.

As far as agendas, I guess maybe that was a little too strong a word. It's pretty fluid depending on what everyone wants to do once we get there, but as stated in the OP, we plan to ride Citrus Saturday camp out there Saturday night (possibly do a night ride) and then head over to Croom Sunday morning.

For the high points at Citrus, I'd like to run trails 19, 15, 11, and 5 top to bottom. As well as doing some playing in the washouts on Trails 14 and, hopefully, 11 (they flattened those last December, but they were starting to wash out again when we were there in February so I'm hoping with all the rain we've had this summer they will be interesting again), and maybe hit a clay pit and a couple of sand hills. I'd like to run Trail 11B (the Graveyard Trail) on the south side of Stage Coach if they haven't closed it off on both ends. With all the rain though, that trail could be too damn nasty to negotiate even if it is open.

And don't mind Jon. Until last February, he used to attend TacomaWorld events in a full-sized Chevy.

If there's just five of you, you're welcome to run with us if you want although we've certainly run in smaller groups before (there was only 3 of us last December and while we didn't run with them we did stop and watch the Jeep group conduct business when we happened to run across them; they really seemed to have their shit together as far as operating as a group and educating their noobs in the finer points of wheeling), so don't feel like you need stick with us if you want to do your own thing.

 

There is nothing wrong with intermingling in brands the buddy I usually ride with has an xterra

 

This place is dead

 

Been quiet lately

 

I know I'm not on here much anymore

 

Maybe that's why.

 

Haha, I was kinda biding my time before asking if any of the tentatives on the list had firmed up or not.

 

Well I'm waiting to see what weekends work has me scheduled for on call

 

On call!?!

Heh, I guess you never can tell when someone might need an emergency well drilled.

 

Well I don't just drill wells I also do service work so when a pump goes bad and people are out of water I've gotta go fix it

 

OIC. Carry on then.

 

I'm still going, and the group appears to be 5-6. The FJ guy that was supposed to lead may not make and if he can make it will be for Saturday only. So we would mostly likely tag along with you unless the group gets to big.

Our 5-6 trucks means about 3-4 will show-up and not bail last second.

 

Our group has that happen too. I reckon we'll get the six trucks that have confirmed if we're lucky. The how many of the tentatives make it out is anybody's guess.

 

Hopefully I'll have my lift done by the meet

 

I hope so too. that is some major surgery you have planned there. I meant to suggest while you guys are cutting and welding on Squeaky, you should go ahead and do the cab mount chop as well.

I may have my reservations about what you're planning, but at least you'll be taking care of two good things along with it: the ubolt flip and the shackle flip.

 

I have a golf tournament on Saturday but I can be there Sunday.
