Arkansas Takeover

[Jordan7118]

I think we need to have a club get-together this year. We're at the point where we have enough members to have a decent turnout.

I know this has been in talks, and I've heard a lot of ideas. Shall we put them all together?


November
December



Superlift
Cass
Ouachita NF

[domino]

I'm guessing you're talking more about a get together and wheel/camp weekend, not anything fancy. I don't believe we can handle any more organizing this year. We definitely should all get together this fall without the hassle of raffles, shirts, dinners, etc. I'm thinking we should hit up Cass or Disney. I'd like to wheel some different places than superlift every time.

i vote November / Ouachita National Forest, lots of places along the trail that can handle a cookout and 20-30 trucks

no dinners, no raffles just US together for some trails and a cookout, just a burger and dog sorta thing :thumbs:

[Arky Tacoma]

This sounds cool. Where/what part of the nf? Josh and I ran a gnarly hill climb outside of Jessieville. I would like to see more of that, if it isn't closed or something.

[YotaJosh]

I'm game for something like this. Cass or ONF would be cool. We could stay out at Albert Pike (in the ONF) on the Little MO River near the Little MO Falls and Wolf Pen Gap (which has some trails).

I vote self-sufficient. Bring your own food. I don't mind a large grill or fire pit to cook on, but I ain't bringing or cooking your food. :p

Time frame? November is probably good, just not too late. The GATOR weekend would be good since that's when we usually have our annual chapter run, but it might be too soon. IDK.

[beaz]

I'd like to wheel some different places than superlift every time.

x2 on that. I've only been to Gilmer and Hot Springs and would like to see a few other places.

[Jordan7118]

Disney is cool and only 1.5 hours from Fayetteville, but that's in Oklahoma and too far for many people.

I'd like to do the ONF. I've never been there, and it would be a cool trip to do some "lighter" wheeling for me.

No raffle, no organizing other than "we'll be here XX:XX". We need a light weekend to just hang out, camp, and wheel some.

Cass is cool. I'm in agreeance that SL is out due to how often we are there.

[domino]

The key factor on where to go is: Are we going to wheel? Or just to hang out, camp, and maybe do some easy trail running? I'm up for either one, but if we're wanting to get some good wheeling in, Cass is probably a better place to go.

[domino]

4Wheel Parts and Superlift Customer Appreciation Run September 4-7th
GATOR September 24-27th
Southern Cruiser Crawl October 9th-11th
Rocktoberfest October 30-31st

I think most of us are planning on making it to SCC. We'll probably either need to go in early-mid September or late October-mid November. That way we don't stack our trips up too much.

[Arky Tacoma]

The onf has some good wheelin' depending on where u go. Probably be more laid back, which is cool. The gator weekend would be good.

[domino]

Either way, I'd kinda like to give the black truck a little break and drive the tacoma on some easy stuff. That way the dog can come with me. She gets lonely at the house by herself.

[duckhunter71]

The thing to think about around the ONF is hunting season.. be sure and have it early enough so that you don't have to worry about encounters with hunters or anything if you do any exploring. I don't think it is allowed in the forest, but that doesn't mean you might not run into some around. I'd definitely be able to swing by and meet everybody if you go to Albert Pike.. that's pretty close to home for me! They have some nice new RV sites if anybody is going to be going that route.

[79coyotefrg]

you can enter the ONF not too far from LittleRock on hwy 9 and go all the way to Oklahoma (Wolf Pen) and never drive on a paved road :D i LIKE THAT

[Jay Johnson]

Depending on Weekend I'm in. Camping along the trail is my vote.

Jay Johnson

[gittinit]

Yall are making me wish I had my lil white rig ready for this. It would be so great to drive down do some light wheeling, camping, and bsing then drive home.

[Arky Tacoma]

Just bumping this thread. A few of us LR guys had lunch together Friday and were giving this some more thought. We were thinking Cass might be a good place to go around the time of the GATOR, since some of us are on a limited budget and can't afford to go all the way to Seymour. How does meeting up in Cass Friday afternoon/evening for camping/wheelin' sound?

[ArkieTaco]

Sounds great to me. Are we talking Friday the 25th of September?

Do we go to Byrds for trail maps/camping spots?

All of you Northwest Arkansas guys need to come!! Dang hillbillies!

[Jordan7118]

I plan on coming. What's the date? I can't remember anything now... Juvenile Alzheimer's :rolleyes:

[Arky Tacoma]

I was thinking the weekend of Gator, which is Friday Sept. 25 and come back on Sunday Sept. 27. I don't know anything about Byrd's or Cass, so where would be the best place to camp?

[Jordan7118]

Thanks, Lance!

If you're going to be there, I'm out...






:p

... And I think I'd rather go to Cass FWIW...

[domino]

I'm just hoping that date's not too early for some or too close to SCC. That puts us at 2 trips within 3 weeks. Some of the womenfolks may not be too happy about that.

And you can camp right at byrd's. They have established campsites there. I'm not sure if you're allowed to camp in the National Forest, but I think it may be allowed. That just depends on what everyone wants as far as amenities.

[Arky Tacoma]

You are probably right about that, I didn't really think about that. I was just looking at my September calendar, and there is tons of stuff going on. I was just trying to throw a date out there to get people to thinking. It doesn't have to be in stone, I just don't want it to get forgotten about like most "non-official" things.

Guys, chime in and lets talk about when is best for everyone.

[Arky Tacoma]

Thanks, Lance!

If you're going to be there, I'm out...






:p

... And I think I'd rather go to Cass FWIW...

I see how you are:D

[Jordan7118]

I don't know what that means, Lance, but I plan to not talk to you anymore... You gay butt pirate... :lmao:

If we could have a later date, that would be great. I think Snoop is slated to get a serious rebuild after only 8 months of wheeling :rolleyes:

Aaron, why Byrd's instead of Cass? I'm just curious as to what they have instead of Cass. I might bring the Taco and do some real mild wheeling. Like 1 and 2's kinda wheeling. I'll even bring my flat bill to hit those bunny slopes :p

[ArkieTaco]

I think if we were to go in September we could do more. I would love to get out there to wade fish and swim. I love to fish for Smallmouth Bass and the Mullberry is supposed to be great. It's gonna be to cold for in November when would be able to get another trip together.

Heck I'll bring the Yaris and just camp and fish. Maybe do some 1s and 2s in it :D

[79coyotefrg]

byrds and Cass are different places ???

OH and Albert Pike has a bath house so you can take a shower if ya want

i hurt myself today trying to move a transmission, i gonna go lie down

[wanabecruisen]

and Glen's back on top....:D:D

Oops! That was supposed to say "I see HOW you are", but I can't type.

Cass is just the general area in the National Forest we'd be in. Byrd's is the name of the "off-road park" and is a major campground in the area. If we're wanting to wheel the marked and organized trails, we'd be paying byrd's $10/day for access.

You are probably right about that, I didn't really think about that. I was just looking at my September calendar, and there is tons of stuff going on. I was just trying to throw a date out there to get people to thinking. It doesn't have to be in stone, I just don't want it to get forgotten about like most "non-official" things.

Guys, chime in and lets talk about when is best for everyone.

Looking at my calendar, the whole month of October is probably out. We can't go the 10th (SCC) or the weekends surrounding it. We can't go the 31st (Rocktoberfest). The 24th could be a possibility, but there's probably going to be a bunch of people there then too.

My vote: September 19th (could be too early/ still hot) or November 7

[YotaJosh]

November 7th. :xsmokin1:

[Arky Tacoma]

My vote: September 19th (could be too early/ still hot) or November 7

Man, September 19 is bad for me. I guess Josh's suggestion of November 7 might work.

[slacker24/7]

FWIW you can camp in the nat. forrest all around Byrds.. (cass) pick a old deer camp place and already have a cleared camp spot.. plenty around there..

[YotaJosh]

Probably not during deer season though. :(

That's the downside to doing it in November - competing with hunters. We'll all have to wear blaze orange to crawl out in the woods to poop. :eek:

[ArkieTaco]

Not trying to sound rude, but all of us wont be able to make it on a set date. Whether it is September or November or even Febuary of next year. I am going camping in September 25-27th at Byrd's.

I won't be able to go November 7th. Plus we don't want to compete with the deer hunters and camping spots. I can see them now "those dang offroaders out scaring all the deer away!!!!"

Just my two cents...

[79coyotefrg]

i would tend to agree with Sean, same weekend of Gator since we usually do our thing in late september anyway

never been to Byrds or Cass so if i can make it it would be an adventure

[Arky Tacoma]

So, I guess we should say Gator weekend (9/25-9/27), and come if you can? Do we need to reserve campgrounds?

[YotaJosh]

Sounds like a plan. I don't want people to choose this over GATOR if they are going to GATOR, but if you don't have the funds to attend that event and you want to wheel/camp/etc, then this would be perfect.

:kewl: well put

[Jordan7118]

Aight. I'm planning to be there. Taco or 4Runner, we'll be there. Either way, I'll pwn you hoes... K, maybe not... :rolleyes:

[gittinit]

Who is gonna represent us Arkies at the gator event if were all sitting around a campfire making smores and singing coombuyya (sp) at cass?

hey lets all take up money to send me... um I mean a represenative to gator :D

I'm still considering going to GATOR, but haven't made up my mind yet. I hate to waste a free pass to the event, but if everyone else is going to be in Cass...

[ArkieTaco]

I just called and reserved 8 campsites with electricity. They are $9.00 a night.
They have a big shower house with toilets. The lady I talked to said she has more available if needed.

Can we try to get a head count?

[Arky Tacoma]

Put me down for a campsite.

[yaker]

Now where exactly is this going to be at.:confused:

[Arky Tacoma]

Up in Cass, AR at Byrd's Offroad Park. I don't know much about it, it just sounds like a nice wheelin/campin spot where if you want you can swim and fish.

[79coyotefrg]

looks like 200 miles for me :eek:

[yaker]

Sounds like a cool place.

[newman99]

So 9/25-9/27 ???? Its goin down at Cass ?? I gota request off asap, to make this. Oh and hey Luke thanks buddy !!!!! Paul

[Arky Tacoma]

Yes, that's the weekend. Request off!! U need to go to this one for sure.

[newman99]

Cass ??? Right ?? I'll tell them on Monday. Probably just drive up myself and ride with you Lance, don't think the 4runner will be anything but stock still.... Paul

[Arky Tacoma]

Cass ??? Right ?? I'll tell them on Monday. Probably just drive up myself and ride with you Lance, don't think the 4runner will be anything but stock still.... Paul
Cass is where we are heading, since a bunch of us have never been. Man, I think you could bring the Runner cause I don't think anybody is going to do anything hard. I won't have an open seat, my brother is coming with me on this trip. Go ahead and plan to be off cause I am sure someone will have an empty seat.

[colsoncj]

looks like my wheelin trips arent over... the ozark mountain cruiser got together and decided to help me out.... now i'm goin to GATOR. so i wont be able to make it... to bad you guys arent doin it another month. oh well!

[yaker]

I'll have an open seat if you wan't Paul, and thanks for letting me use your compressor and strap.

[ArkieTaco]

The line up so far..???

I might be able to loan out the GF's duplex for that weekend. All of ya'll might be able to stay here for BB&BBQ. Just don't screw it up for me. Her parents will be pIassed if it's trashed :eek: But I'll see what I can do. Just for you guys :D

[beaz]

You can throw me into the mix under "possible". I'll be coming in from a 2 week vacation that Thursday afternoon, so I'm not sure what kind of condition I'll be in.

Luckilly the customer wasn't there to see it. I worked till 1 am this morning deleviring a pump to Texarkana. I'll just ask for Sat off and they should let me have it. The job is great and the money is even better but the 24hr on call deal sucks ASS !! Later Paul

[YotaJosh]

Well I might be out. HS 10 year reunion is Sept 25th. I was worried it was going to be the weekend of the Crawl.

Don't officially count me out yet though. :)

[yaker]

Im ready to wheel again I have been having withdrawls.

[OldTruck]

10 year reunion?
TEN yrs and everything . . . High School reunion, right?

OK, it's opinion time. No Poll to adminster, just one question . . .

Was the High School hottie . . . still hot at your 10 year reunion?
[ ] yes [ ] no [ ] maybe [ ] I don't know I was drinking

Oh damn, most of you pups haven't had your 10 yr reunion, obviously.
(Question 2: What year reunion did you last attend {or could have})

So, Josh . . . go to the reunion, grab a bunch of the Homecoming court queens, bring them to Superlift on Saturday nite . . N then . . NITE RIDE!!!!!!

wow, is it really 11:26 pm, way past my 6 pack bedtime . . .

I didn't go to my highschool reunion, and doubt I will ever go to one. I have too many good memories to ruin them with a reunion. I wouldnt mind getting a bunch of my old friends together one last time to get drunk on sysco, boones, and what was that fruit punch stuff? I may just have to settle for some wheeling with my current friends for some new good memories.

No, none of the "hotties" were really all that hot at my 10 year. There were a few of the "okay" girls that turned into hotties though.
I graduated in '93 so my 20 year isn't really that far down the road.

[79coyotefrg]

:headscratch: i think ive already missed my 20 year, cant remember who the hotties were anymore, wheres my highschool year book ???

we called it jungle juice, http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/musik/k035.gif or so i was later told anyway

last time i had some was the night my daughter was born, jungle juice then southern comfort about a qt of that, then i thought "hey i better sober up a little" so i started drinking what i THOUGHT was grape soda :rolleyes: it was purple passion http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/musik/k035.gif

[ArkieTaco]

Just throwing this out there. Me and the girlfriend are going to Byrd's early that week, on the 22nd. If anybody can come up early..... come on! We will be floating the river and fishing :D

[Arky Tacoma]

Back to the Cass trip. What does the list look like? Who all is definitely going, maybe going or not going. I am in for sure, even have that Friday off. I know Aaron, Cory and possibly Old Truck are headed up to Gator. That still leaves a bunch of us to make it to Cass. Speak up, and lets have a game plan.

[79coyotefrg]

i'm out unless the new engine fairy comes before then :(

[ArkieTaco]

I'm in :D

I hope the weather stays nice for us. I still have to get my fuel pump fixed. I pulled one today. There is a huge difference between and 85 efi pump and a 91 efi (both 22re)!!! I'm kinda upset...

[Arky Tacoma]

i'm out unless the new engine fairy comes before then :(
What needs to happen Glen? Did you finally figure out what cause the problem?

[Jordan7118]

I'm at 75% yes :D

[ArkieTaco]

Made my fuel pump work!

[79coyotefrg]

What needs to happen Glen? Did you finally figure out what cause the problem?

i'm 99% sure when i blew the headgasket awhile back it got hot enough then that it cracked the piston, then over time it finally broke. also found out the KeithBlack pistons ive been running the last 3 or 4 years were designed to run 1 maybe 2 races and be dumped. so they have LONG outlasted their usefulness


i have a guy on Marlin that does stuff with Fire Guys Racing, he thinks he can get me some replacement pistons for a C note, if he can :woot: I'll be good, well maybe

if not then i'll have to find another engine, already got my scrap yard friend keeping his eyes peeled,

i HOPE i dont have to pull the block cause thats ALOT more work than i want/need to be doing

[79coyotefrg]

Made my fuel pump work!

Sean, you should about have a new truck by now :p

[Jordan7118]

Biggity-tiggity-bumpity-boo...

Sept. 25th - 27th - not this weekend, but next.

I plan to be there unless something drastic changes.

Dave Lay, where you at?

[Arky Tacoma]

I am still a go at this point. I hope nothing comes up cuz I am looking forward to it.

Step Daughter has V ball tourny in Harrison, I'm on call and gota deliver a pump to Harrison, oh and somehow I gota mow bout 7 lawns this weekend cause of the rain ?????????????? Oh and the Runner needs tires, gears, ehxaust, armor, lockers ........ When the grass quits growing and I finally get some work done to the Runner I'll be there. Sorry guys ! I'm just a web wheeler ! I use to go honestly ask Lance or Josh, seems like I have no time anymore. I know I aint the only one, but some time sitting around a fire telling lies and drinkin some beer would be fun !!! Paul

[ArkieTaco]

........ and check out that red thang of yours.

Geez Jordan, first Daryl now him... man you get around!!! :lmao:

Sometimes it can take some work to get those guys out. A lot of them don't spend much time on our little corner of the board. I had to PM everybody to let them know about my last little event up that way.

[Arky Tacoma]

Well, get to pm'ing bitch :)

If I can get my ball joints changed and my front droped in time I'll be there.

What is the plan for our little shindig in Cass? I am off Friday and will be headed up hopefully fairly early. Just meet up whenever? Who's name are the campsites under?

[Dropmytaco]

general camping is first come first serve. only reason to reserve a spot is for elec hook up.

[ArkieTaco]

I reserved 8 campsites under TTORA's name. Me and the lady had planned to leave this week, but it is probably going to rain all week. So I might be leaving with you Lance?

[Arky Tacoma]

That sucks, man. I could go the rest of the year and be happy with no more rain. I heard that we have already exceeded last year's total. And I thought we had a lot last year!

Meeting up Friday morning would be fine with me. As we get closer to time, we can figure out an exact exit LR strategy.

If we are wheeling on Friday you can count me in!!! Still haven't had the chance to try out the locker after Aaron helped install it.

[Arky Tacoma]

Josh,
You don't want to hang out and wheel Saturday too? Come on, you know you want to.

[jujew]

I am in Fayetteville and can meet up with anyone who wants to ride out together. Looking to leave around noon so I can get some wheeling done. Won't be camping over the weekend though. I think I am celebrating my one year aniversary with the wife!

[jujew]

Would love to camp!!! Trying to find a way out of the anniversary dinner but don't count on it.

I am in for Friday! Anyone elsedown just let me know: 479-435-3113

[Arky Tacoma]

Anniversary is an acceptable excuse. I would advise you to not get out of it, cause you will regret it :) I once went fishing on my anniversary. She got over it, but it took a while.:D

[Jordan7118]

I am celebrating my one year aniversary with the wife!

Congrats, Josh!

[yaker]

Got every thing ready on the truck. I hope to wheel saturday and sunday.

[ArkieTaco]

I'm camped out now. I'll have chilli for everyone Friday night!

I am headed out now. Will probably wheel to mid afternoon but then it's back to F-ville. Hope to see a few of you out there! Correction: my number is 445-3113. Call if you wanna wheel or if you guys come into town for BBBQ, I'll be the drunk guy on Dickson St. ;-)

[Jordan7118]

I'm on my way!

[Arky Tacoma]

Cass was really cool, until I broke my cv which was about 2 trails in. I think we need to make another ar ttora pilgrimmage. Nice place, had a really good time. Kudos to Sean (Arkie Taco) for making some kick ass chili and breakfast on Saturday.

Wish I could have went but I coulden't go. Looks like Toyota might be buyin the Taco, so I have to start taking stuff off and start lookin for another ride.

Weak. A small little rust crack kept you from wheelin? If anything, you should wheel as much as you can before they buy your Taco or replace your frame!!!



I had a blast with you guys. MVP of the weekend goes to Sean who cooked food Friday night, breakfast Saturday morning, and even gave us food for lunch!

Bummer, Lance, on the CV. At least you knew it was coming. Wish we could've done more.

I look forward to another ARTO soon!

[Arky Tacoma]

Yeah, the cv was a bummer, but, I had a blast hanging out with Sean and Jordan and meeting new people (Anna, Levi and Kelly). Hopefully, next time more guys will come out and enjoy the festivities.

That ain't why I couldn't go. My parents wouldent let me. Only if I was 18.

OOOOooooo... My bad :o

Gotta do what they say. Feels like it was only yesterday I was in your same shoes... :rolleyes:

[ArkieTaco]

Thanks guys. I had a great time in Cass and really enjoyed meeting some new people. Those who didn't make it, they were having a competition this weekend and were running some nasty stuff. Y'all missed out! We are definitely going to make another trip up there. I'll have some pics posted tomorrow.

-Josh do you have any that you took?

On a side note.... Got on a trail this morning that was a little tougher than what I can run. No pics but a little body damage to remember it. Big thanks to Levi helping me out of it today and spotting me through it all. He's the shizznit!

That sucks about the cv, but don't you carry a spare?? How'd you break it?

[Dropmytaco]

Glad you guys had a good time! The weather was PERFECT! It was great to meet some nice offroad people for once. Mucho props on the hospitality, kelly, jager, and i cant thank you guys enough.

thanks for the :xbeer3:

:D

(sorry we didnt have socket for the cv man!)

[Jordan7118]

Nice to finally meet you, Levi! If ya ever wanna kick it in Fay, let me know. I'm starting to put together a decent shop in my garage and wouldn't mind having your experience on hand.

[jujew]

I got pix from our ride earlier on Friday. Are we posting in this thread or another?

Did you guys ever watch the competitions that were going on?

It was good to meet new ttora guys and always good to see you Lance, sorry to hear about the CV. Sean did Lance break the CV on the same trail you had to help me up?

[Arky Tacoma]

Yeah, carry a spare, but not a 35 mm socket :( It was a different trail Josh. I went up the other side of the trail u are talking about. The trail I did it on was a 4, and i was backing up off camber and turned almost at full lock. I am pretty sure that it happened with the front locker off.

[domino]

Yeah, carry a spare, but not a 35 mm socket :(

Seriously? :slap: Even I carry a socket for those CV axles, and I don't think there's a 35mm nut on my whole truck.. Silly Lance.

[Arky Tacoma]

Yeah, I know :doh: Live and learn...

[79coyotefrg]

[yaker]

I guess it was bad enough for them to buy it back.

This is only one of the few pics I have of Josh, but let me say this. He put his IFS to the test (not in this pic)!

To do or not to do? Next time I'm going for it. Better have Snoopie, Jordan!!

Left or right. Both were fun! Pictures just don't do justice.

Got down to this and had to back out.

Overall... it is a great place to wheel!!! The only downside is camping facilities and trail rating system. Great time and will be back soon (spring time?)

[79coyotefrg]

so they just kinda say "theres the trails go at it" :dunno: no good map with ratings :dunno: that sucks

It's a little better than that, but not much. Their map was drawn up in microsoft paint!

[LDT98]

3rd picture down is hells revenge and thats the easy part. When you get to the top if you go to the left and follow it all the way up it gets rediculious. Most of the guys I've been with up that trail are running 38's-49's and crazy built rigs and still have a hell of a time making it all the way to the top. Wish I could have joined yall but maybe next time.

[Dropmytaco]

i've watched a samurai on 33's do it, and i've been in a rig on 35s that rolled 3 times in 5mins going down it trying to winch a pos buggy out!

[Jordan7118]

Sean and I walked that trail, and though it seemed very technical in parts, I think he should give it a shot when we're there next time.

I fixed them for you. Your pictures had both IMG and URL tags around them. You just need the IMG tags (or the yellow mountain icon).

Your other link had IMG tags when it should have had URL tags.
