CORE Ultimate Adventure?

[94Dodge Truggy]

Wondering about a CORE Ultimate Adventure in October? Head to haspin friday night and then to big rock for a sunday run. Run what you brung and pack what you eat. What do you think? :confused:

[Coppertop]

Sounds like fun...

Nick

[KennyTJ]

sounds like a lot of on road driving for one weekend! :eek:

[94Dodge Truggy]

from butler county it is one hour to haspin and 2 hours to big rock. much less than what is done on the ultimate adventure

[gothodgie]

Does sound like a good time.
Have any idea what weekend you might want to try and set it up for ?

:beers:

[redcj3a]

If it doesn't fall on Homecoming weekend and all the other stuff a father of a High School Senior girl must schedule around, I'd be all for it.

[tjjeepjeep]

I'd be up for it...

[GT MOTORSPORTS]

im in..

[mckeddie]

can i trailer my pile?

[itbrokeagain]

Hmmmm it isnt an ultimate adventure if you dont drive it. I am going to try to get on the real one in the next couple years

[tjjeepjeep]

Hmmmm it isnt an ultimate adventure if you dont drive it.

CORE's Semi-Ultimate Adventure. :rolleyes: And we let people trailer rigs...

[hotrod]

CORE's Semi-Ultimate Adventure. :rolleyes: And we let people trailer rigs...↲ Id be in if we can trailer and i can get off work.

[Trigger]

How about November? I'll be back by then.

[94Dodge Truggy]

November is good! Trailers are for sissies! Run what you brung! ;)

[Trigger]

I'm in. Sounds like fun!

[gothodgie]

November is good! Run what you brung! ;)

x2... :beers:

[mckeddie]

don't think the ole tj is going to be doing any street driving, and teh denali may not be very good on the trails....

[sarge]

don't think the ole tj is going to be doing any street driving, and teh denali may not be very good on the trails....

HA ! you should have seen the look on peoples faces at Haspin a few years ago , I drove my Denali down behind the drag strip to recover my broke Jeep. Yes I was alittle bit nervous.......


If I can get my pile running I would love to do the trek !!!!!

[Nuts]

November is good! Trailers are for sissies! Run what you brung! ;)

You take'n that rhino?lol

[94Dodge Truggy]

The polaris RZR S is staying at home. LJ has been selected for this mission.

[HumminNBoatin]

Set the date....... I think this could be a blast. However if its the weekend of October 15th I will at Windrock.....

[tjjeepjeep]

Looks like 10/9 or 10/23 to avoid Fall Crawl and Zook Spook events.

[KargoMaster]

I might be able to be on standby with a trailer if needed... just thinking that might be some nice insurance...

[sarge]

ha ! at this point I might have my junk back on the road !!! got to take it to the dealer to have a new ECM flashed ....... hopefully have it fixed ...... I'm shooting for the benefit b ut maybe the Adventure will happen ........

[flatlander757]

If I can find a place to work on my junk and swap my D300 front outputs and build some quick twin stick shifters I may be able to make it if it is the October 23 weekend... hopefully that is enough time after moving to bug the wife about more Jeep stuff:D

[KargoMaster]

tell me more of this d300 output swap... are you going 32 spl for the front (cuz that will require some machining) or just replacing stock bits... (If that is the case I have an extra stock front output if you need it...)

I know now that I will not be going on this one... (fawk drama) so I would be happy to help if I can...

[flatlander757]

I have another stock D300 case that I need to swap the front outputs... I was stupid and hacked off BOTH of the shifter ears early on the build... at the time I was pretty dead-set on either cable shifters or air-actuated shifters... not I'm more a fan of keeping as much crap simple as possible.

Though I don't -need- it from you, I'll gladly throw some money or beer at you for it... I'd like to have an extra so I can get it machined for whenever I DO decide to go 32spline.

I'm probably going to eventually go to Toyota joints and 32 splines for my front shaft whenever I grenade the 1310 axleshaft/square tube abortion of a driveshaft I made... It takes a beating but I replace the joints for getting loose every time or two out... I guess a 4500ish lb jeep sitting on the front shaft and on the rev limiter will do that that:evilgrin:

[tjjeepjeep]

Ok peeps. Are you serious about this? And when are we interested in it happening? October or November ? I'm wondering about Nov 6th...Too cold?

[gothodgie]

i think the Nov date would be good. There seems to be a few things going in Oct that we would have to work around. I don't think it would be to cold in early Nov, unless we go straight from summer into winter. Which we all know here in good ole Cincinnati could happen.

I'll be up for it when ever we decided to do it.

:beers:

[flatlander757]

The later the better for me... November would be great...

KargoMaster: is that trailer offer for lending the trailer or are you offering to tow/come along(I pay for gas of course plus some extra for the help)?

:D

[dan]

so were are all the stops big rock and haspin? or is it going to be a couple of more places like white cross farms and other local, november wpuld probaly be warm still it was the frist week last year

[SixFtUnd]

I would have a better chance of being able to make it in Nov.

[sarge]

set a date I'm in , after all day at the dealer $$$$$$, alot of head scratching , and some guessing the rig is running great again. I got the 231 swapped in yesterday and all I have to do is make a new cross member and fab up the new front drive shaft. It will be in the woods this week end for test run number 2 ................:beers:

[cincygman]

Lets see, if I can swap leafspring, build new front driveshaft, replace power steering hose, install ford 8.8.....................

[WrenchMonkey]

Ok peeps. Are you serious about this? And when are we interested in it happening? October or November ? I'm wondering about Nov 6th...Too cold?

Ooo, early-mid November the ThrillKiller may be in Houston... Cat's away, mice'll play...

I agree that driving it would be cool, but are you/we camping the whole time?

The XJ just isn't equipped to tote three days of food, beverages and gear.

Robert

[tjjeepjeep]

My idea of roughing it is a hotel without room service....

[itbrokeagain]

I would love to do this. If everything works out, I am in.

Well???? what was it?

[sarge]

it was a combo , computer was frag'd and the fuel spider . What we think was the computer took a crap and slammed #3 so hard it stuck and caused a dead hole ...... went to the dealer with 3 cylinders and came home with five ...... put a new spider in it and it runs great . spent all day in the garage today and got all the loose ends buttoned up and I'm ready .....

[tjjeepjeep]

So how many days ya'll thinking? Just a weekend run (Sat/Sun)? Or more?

[T-bird]

I would really like to tag along on this ride, but not as built as most. I think a Friday, Saturday and Sunday run would be fun. The Friday run could be a optional night run, because a lot of people would be getting in at different times.

Are there going to be general guidelines on how built your rig should be. I would kill the road section in my DD TJ, but would need a bypass on the harder stuff off road.

[tjjeepjeep]

Initially getting a level of interest but seems like that is there. So now we're working on the specific details (who, what, where, when) but definitely plan on making it feasible for all levels of vehicles (my rig isn't locked).

How about CORE Almostimate Adventure ? :) (Thinking Tshirts and stickers)

[redcj3a]

After seeing the pictures and videos of the Big Rock ride over Labor Day , I am in for that part of the adventure. I may be limited to a single day, but hope to be part of this. The weekend of Nov. 5-7 was once mentioned. Is that still a go?

Even if I can do Haspin and the Big Rock, I WILL trailer the 3A between sites. My 3A does not have a cruising gear. 35 mph is about my cruising max.

This gives me a date to build some rock sliders by. Deadlines can be good.

John

[tjjeepjeep]

Yes planning it for 11/5-11/7. Still working on the where all we will invade.

[KargoMaster]

...How about CORE Almostimate Adventure ? :)

Do you really want to be able to abbreviate this subgroup within our community ---> AA? Dunno, maybe that was on purpose??

I dig the CORE UA concept... As a group, we're clearly higher on the trailering quotient than many... and for a variety of reasons (thanks for chiming in John... I can't get enough of that CJ-3a).

Completion of the CORE UA should be simple, run what you brung, fix what you break, no trailers, drive the whole thing... HOWEVER, exclusion of all others has never been our thing... if folks want to join in based on an approximate schedule (clearly subject to change) then I say that they are as welcomed to join in to enjoy some wheeling as any other trip...

Maybe we just hold the t-shirts/stickers for the finish line??


Just some thoughts to continue the conversation... :beers:

[tjjeepjeep]

Do you really want to be able to abbreviate this subgroup within our community ---> AA? Dunno, maybe that was on purpose??


We are kinda like a 7 step program (some of us more than others)...I chuckled when I saw it. Hoped it would generate ideas...still waiting. :rolleyes:

I honestly didn't know much about UA til Pater mentioned the idea and we started getting interest. I don't believe we're looking at an event that lays 100% to those rules which is why I tried a play on words to allow us the ability to deviate as we need to make it our own. As well as how competitive we're really gonna make this.

I have some ideas and have been working a few angles. But most is up in the air, so anyone interested in this thing feel free to attend our meeting Monday as we will decide a bunch of things regarding this at that time.

Sharing one angle: working on getting us onto some private land for the Saturday run so it's a unique experience ...

[94Dodge Truggy]

Are we ready for the 1st CORE Ultimate Adventure? I am! Lets go already! Smurfette will have reverse by then hopefully and the leaves will be on the ground and traction will be awesome plus the scenery will be spectacular as long as a box of Cheez-its is in my hands.

[Coppertop]

Nov.5th-7th works for me...:beers:

Nick

[SixFtUnd]

all sounds good I'm Really Really Really going to try and make this the bronco seems to be running good wish I could get better tires but no repairs are planed before then

I hope I can make it through at least 1 day without braking anything (anything important anyway)

[flatlander757]

Since I'm kinda new to the area...

How far all all these locations we're planning on going to/from each other?

Google maps?

November 5-7 should work fine for me... not sure about the Friday event, but Saturday-Sunday should be good to go:cool:

1.5 hours is it! Gravy!!!

[gothodgie]

Years ago the group i ran around with used to do something like this.

We would meet in a campground Berea (i think) and camp on friday night then pack up Saturday morning and run the trails and few road miles mixed in and go to Livingston on saturday, camp(usually at night run too) and then wheel a little Sunday at Livingston. We did this for 3 or 4 years in a row in the mid 90's, but i think most of those trails are closed now.

Was always a good time... Maybe something similar to this might work...

:beers:
chris
p.s. remember it'll be gettin dark early....

[flatlander757]

I like the idea of night wheeling Friday and day wheeling Saturday and Sunday:)

I like getting pictures and videos when I have the opportunity:D

[SixFtUnd]

i looked it up on yahoo maps if we start at haspin that is about 1.5 hours from here and then it's like 2.5 hours from there to big rock

[tjjeepjeep]

I'm trying to get locations in KY to minimize the drive time between locations..

[WrenchMonkey]

Well, local wheeling doesn't get much more "local" than 491.

Although, for you guys, White Cross in Oxford might be closer:

Robert

Edit:
Lauel IN to Oxford OH: 30 miles and 50 minutes.
Oxford OH to DeMossville KY: 64 miles and an hour-twenty.
Demossville to Maysville: 51 miles, another hour-twenty.

[flatlander757]

Sounds awesome! The wife hasn't said "no" yet:evilgrin:

Got any links to "official"(or close to it!) websites for the wheeling places planned? What are the names of the places in Demossville and Maysville?

[jwend]

I am good for the nov. dates. aslong as we dont brake in harlan again..... so wouldnt hold my breath!

Sounds like fun...

How strict is Big Rock on having a full-size spare?

I have freaking 40s on a Jeep... I'm not got any room for carrying a flippin' spare. I've got a ton of tire plugs though:evilgrin:

From the looks of it most all of those parks are nothing but mud(not too fond of it)... what the hell are you going to cut a tire on:evilgrin:

It looks like I'll only be able to meet you guys for Saturday at 491... which looks pretty awesome.

Well, they do sell carriers...

I don't think Duke would give you a hard time, and I don't know if CORE has a hard and fast rule about it.

But personally, I'm a pretty big fan of going prepared. I (and most others) carry spare axleshafts, driveshafts, ujoints, unibearings, fluids, sensors, etc etc. I'd feel plain naked without a spare tire.

You never expect the worst, but just how would you drag it out of the woods on three tires? And I think you said you sold the tow rig before the move, how would you then drag it home?

Your call, I guess, but I like a little more insurance.

Robert

Yeah, I carry all the spare fluids and about 300lbs of tools and crap when I wheel...

They DO sell carriers but the plan for me is to get a house, then get another tow-rig, then get a spare tire and keep that on the tow rig.

These tires are thick as hell too... they're not like BFG A/Ts or something.

I PMed "BigRock" on here about the rule... if I'm not allowed it's no big deal, I definitely understand.

As for dragging home... I have $900 of towing coverage through my insurance company... as long as I can drag it to the road I'm fine :)

[jwend]

I have no spare and wheel there.... as long as you can get your rig out before dark and Duke doesnt have to deal with it you should be cool. he doesnt like check you to see if you brought one, rules at local off road parks are more guide lines than rules...... at least from my experiance, dont act like a ass and you wont get treated as one.

[Red Dog]

The 9th i can do, going out of town the weekend of the 23rd. Is there an option to meet up on saturday morning at haspen then again on sunday morning. My better half doesn't do the camping thing.

Jon

[Red Dog]

my fault i missed pages 2 and 3. I can do Nov. 5 weekend. Other items still apply, if i go by myself i can camp, if i bring the rest of the crew we can meet you there. If we go to a hotel, we might as well run home and meet ya at big rock. Is this set in stone yet?

[tjjeepjeep]

Is this set in stone yet?

Only thing set in stone is the date. We're definitely doing something at a couple places. Still deciding the places and rules associated. More at the meeting and will publish details.

[itbrokeagain]

I would like to go. What is the deal on trailers? I drove mine on 275 for the first time in about 8 years yesterday. 60 was my absolute max. I am up for no trailer as long as others are too. Makes it more ultimate!!!!! My spare will be a 39.5 Irok. Will look funny with 37s but oh well.

[Red Dog]

I am there! My wife already told me she is NOT camping. I guess she's staying home. I will be back often to check on more details

Thanks,

Jon:D

[flatlander757]

I'm really excited about the 491... no drunks and seems like a sweet place to wheel:cool:

[WrenchMonkey]

I'm really excited about the 491... no drunks and seems like a sweet place to wheel:cool:

Honestly, you may be a little bored in your rig at 491. A lot of it is pretty mild. I have to look for (ie: make up) stuff to challenge mine on 35s.

We'll show you some stuff at BigRock if you can get out there...

Robert

[itbrokeagain]

I am in. I need to do a nice long drive to see what happens.

[tjjeepjeep]

What is the deal on trailers?

My plan is to allow trailered rigs. Know too many CORE members who couldn't attend because their rig isn't highway capable.

Honestly didn't have 491 in my brain since last I remember hearing they didn't have parking room for trailers. (Robert did this change)

[WrenchMonkey]

Robert did this change?

Yes, they are trailer-capable now, though the lot isn't especially trailer-friendly.

It's all dirt and loose gravel, and just inclined enough to give some two-wheel-drive tow rigs trouble.

Robert

[tjjeepjeep]

Thanks for the update...See you tonight

...My spare will be a 39.5 Irok. Will look funny with 37s but oh well.

I will have the opposite issue Tony, I have a 37" spare, and 39.5 IROKS... weird.

Looking forward to hearing more details about this thing tonight.

[KennyTJ]

OK, looks like I'm in for Sat or Sun. I'll have to meet up with the group. Has anyone decided what park we'll be at on each day?

[tjjeepjeep]

OK, looks like I'm in for Sat or Sun. I'll have to meet up with the group. Has anyone decided what park we'll be at on each day?

Nope. You coming to the meeting tonight? Gonna be a huge topic of discussion

[KennyTJ]

Yep, I'll be there!

[redcj3a]

A School Board meeting prevents me from attending tonight. I look forward to reading the outcome of the discussion and participating in some of the adventure.

John

[itbrokeagain]

If a bunch of people are driving I think it would be very interesting. I have to work tonight but I will try for next month. This sounds fun.

[T-bird]

I think that if we are planning on driving lots of trail trucks from place to place, it would be a good idea to stay off the interstate and cruise around ~50 mph to make it more street friendly for everybody.

[jwend]

I will have the opposite issue Tony, I have a 37" spare, and 39.5 IROKS... weird.

haha , all four of yours look like spares right now!!! sorry Brad had to....... we need to get that thing together would like to wheel with you...... but that would cause a issue of me not being able to borrow your trailer....:evilgrin:
:beers:

[KennyTJ]

I cannot make the entire Adventure due to other obligations, but I plan on being at Big Rock Sat. evening about dinnertime. I'll have the truck and trailer, so if anyone breaks down along the way I'm available. I plan on wheelin' all day Sunday at Big Rock.

We may even have the 1ton build on the YJ ready for a maiden voyage!

:beers:

[tjjeepjeep]

Know there's a lot of interest around this, so wanted to give you a quick update
from the meeting last night. Definitely moving forward with this. We are still
working out some details but we were able to get to a few decisions. Keeping in
mind this is our first year (hoping this becomes a repeat thing) and we can
grow/learn from this years. Wanted to keep travel to a minimum this year to
see how it all goes. Enough chatter:

Two day event - Sat 11/6 and Sun 11/7
Schedule overview:
Sat at Haspin Acres.
Sat eve: Travel to Big Rock Offroad Park
Dinner / Camping there
Run all day Sunday at Big Rock

Few notable rules/decisions for Event Participant:
no alcohol on trails
trailer rigs allowed
camping on site Sat night (no hotels)
attendance reqd both days/parks

Things we're working on and/or thinking about out loud:
Vehicle requirements (relax it'll be pretty basic, remember I wheel Macy's)
Participant registration to net you an event Tshirt and sticker (single day
participants wouldn't be eligible for this)
Grill out at Big Rock for everyone (maybe grill/meat item as part of
registration cost and everyone else bring other things?)
Still kinda need a name since Ultimate Adventure has assumptions built into it
(like no trailers)
Maybe a prize for worst break or best run either over both days or one per each
day? Could be tricky if we have multiple groups?

Like I said, still ironing out details....

[krawlin85toy]

For a few of the rides/drivers a bathroom is important also.:D (aka maceys crawler)lol

WOW, no room service.....
well I guess we could work out fireside roomservice, but it'll cost ya!!!! the Pizza place in town does deliver to the park!

You can't imagine how much it pained me to type that... I'll bet fireside roomservice is pricey

[Hotwheels]

I should be out Saturday night and wheeling Sunday at big rock. I have to work Saturdays.

[KennyTJ]

I should be out Saturday night and wheeling Sunday at big rock. I have to work Saturdays.

I'll be trailering down Sat. evening from Lebanon. Shoot me a PM and we can caravan down together, I'll be going right through Maineville.

[reformed]

I'll probably be riding with Hotwheels, but I all also have a truck and trailer if its needed.

[Hotwheels]

My truck will be on your trailer

[krawlin85toy]

If all works out,I should be ouot there. Won't be camping at big rock,wife wants to go alsoand she dont get home from work till early a.m. Sunday so I will be there in the morning. I hope that is how it works.:)

[Warf90]

This sounds like fun, I am not a member of the club, so I hope it would be OK to tag along for this. I am friends with Rob Hull, he has told me about the club, I was going to try and make the meeting last week but couldn't.

[tjjeepjeep]

Heck yea everyone is welcome.



I didn't realize he had friends :eek: :rolleyes:

jk

[dan]

i'm in and tomtom riding with, meeting friday night at haspin or saturday morning?

[WrenchMonkey]

I didn't realize he had friends :eek: :rolleyes:

Yeah, I paid him to say that, with used jeep parts...

:cool:

Robert

[Red Dog]

Is it November yet! The crew is getting antsy.

Jon

[cincygman]

This sounds like a good time. Hopefully I can get all the stuff done to my rig before then, leaf spring, front drive shaft, ford 8.8 swap, a locker here, a locker there............

[flatlander757]

Won't make it, too much moving stuff to finish paying for and too little money... maybe next time:(

[WrenchMonkey]

Looking pretty good for me. I should know for sure in a couple weeks.

I guess I'll tow, and sleep in the ferd. Sure would be cool to drive though...

Decisions, decisions...

Robert

[SixFtUnd]

be brave drive it the more people that drive it the better

[itbrokeagain]

Robert

I am having the same questions myself. Its not as stressful knowing you need to drive it somewhere after you are done beating on your junk. Who knows. I have "camped" in my truck many a time though. I have scheduled my time off. I really really hope it works out.


Off topic-I havent wheeled with Core in about 5 years. Any of the people that have been around a while, remember the Nissan truck I brought to the Bridge? I think that was my last Core trip.

[WrenchMonkey]

My worry is haspin. If I break at the Rock, I wouldn't hesitate to go home for the trailer and come back for it.

Haspin, I don't know how much would still be there to come back FOR.

Robert

[itbrokeagain]

Hmmmmm good point. Trailer it.

[KargoMaster]

...Any of the people that have been around a while, remember the Nissan truck I brought to the Bridge? I think that was my last Core trip.

Wow, yes. I believe after the second of third tow back to camp we told you to stay within sight of camp... and we had an interesting fire pit that evening with the pallets that you brought and "misc" items that ended up with them... I seem to remember a gentleman by the name of Squirrel... 'nuff said.

[cincygman]

well I got the leaf spring done last night and power steering hose last sundey so I am one step closer to being able to go. Now about the front driveshaft, anybody got one laying around?:D

[94Dodge Truggy]

My worry is haspin. If I break at the Rock, I wouldn't hesitate to go home for the trailer and come back for it.

Haspin, I don't know how much would still be there to come back FOR.

Robert

we will keep an eye on it and get it up to the front office if needed.

[tjjeepjeep]

Still wondering about an event name. Seems like there is a lot potentially taken for granted if we use the term "Ultimate Adventure". How about something like "ADVENTURE CORE". Kind of a play on words but we can expand it to wherever it needs to go.. Thoughts???

[WrenchMonkey]

I did like "Almostimate Adventure..."


"Penultimate Adventure" makes me smile, too...

Robert

[SixFtUnd]

my vote simply " C.O.R.E. Aventure Run "

[itbrokeagain]

Somewhatultimate Adventure? Adventure of Near Ultimateness? Bad Azz Core Carnage Weekend?

[dan]

if its gonna be a yearly trip Core Annual Adventure

[SixFtUnd]

Core Annual Adventure Sounds good

Bad Azz Core Carnage Weekend Sounds Accurate

[93 Krawler]

This sounds like fun. I'll go if my junk survives the Fall Crawl. I like the last part of the one, Core Carnage Weekend...

[WrenchMonkey]

Annual Adventure

Oh, yeah, I see that name getting abused...

Robert

[tjjeepjeep]

Hmm CORE Carnage Adventure... That kinda works actually. Don't want to limit ourselves to a weekend (I have big ideas) in case we do more days in either a spring or fall run next year.

Are people interested in paying for Tshirts and/or stickers for the event? I'm trying to get an estimated cost for them. Pretty basic designs and you have to run Haspin Sat, camp overnight and run Big Rock Sun in order to receive them.

Sat evening/night I was thinking of a big grill out party thing at Big Rock. Not sure on logistics (is the meat item part of the registration packet w/Tshirt and sticker or do people bring stuff...oh and grills (not the dental kind) :rolleyes: ).

[dan]

everybody could always use more stickers and t-shirts

[cincygman]

Well it depends on what the cost is getting up to. T-shirt, OK,
t-shirt and window decal, Ok. T-shirt, window decal, meat. Not to sure about that combo:D

[krawlin85toy]

CORE Carnage Adventure...

I would drop the word "adventure". Carnage and adventure doesn't go to together well. Just call it CORE Carnage. Subtitle "Trail run" or "Trail event".

[WrenchMonkey]

NAXJA's Midwest chapter had a CarnageFest a couple years back... I won't tell if you steal that name...

[BigRed]

I like carnagefest. That's good.

[WrenchMonkey]

CORE's CrossCountry CarnageFest is a bit much, inn't it?

Robert

[flatlander757]

CORE Carnage Tour?

What about

CORE Destruction Contingency Peregrination?


:D

[BigRed]

Call it the "CORE Carnage Trail". With this being around the fall and Halloween time, it has a nice ring to it.

[itbrokeagain]

Slightly but not really off topic. Is anyone bringing a back up vehicle such as one of the dirtbikeish variety to the Annual Core Carnage Destructo Fest? Got mine out today for the first time in about a year and had that thought.

[sarge]

I am having the same questions myself. Its not as stressful knowing you need to drive it somewhere after you are done beating on your junk. Who knows. I have "camped" in my truck many a time though. I have scheduled my time off. I really really hope it works out.


Off topic-I havent wheeled with Core in about 5 years. Any of the people that have been around a while, remember the Nissan truck I brought to the Bridge? I think that was my last Core trip.

That plastic bed liner made me warm and fuzzy :beers: ...... wow that was a long time ago , I think I still had the Yellow K-XJ .

why not CUA? Core Ultimate Adventure?

[tjjeepjeep]

why not CUA? Core Ultimate Adventure?

Ultimate Adventure infers certain things/rules that we're not going to (read: no trailers). Need to follow the KISS principle. I do still like CORE AA (can have so much fun with that acroynm).

Getting info from parks now to see what the 'final' rules/regs/info will be.

[BigRed]

got a new one. how about CORE Carnage Rockstock.

[cincygman]

How about, C.O.R.E annual Run What You Brung, even back up ORV's, Sleep in a Tent, sleep in a truck, sleep in a cave, stay up late, get up early, wrench on your junk, Weekend Adventure Event in Novemberish:D Too much for a T-shirt?

[cincygman]

Oh, I forgot to put Carnage in there..........

Dropped off front drive shaft to be shortened today. The yoke came last Friday and actually fit! Ordering the lock right locker this week for the front. Don't know if the 8.8 will make in there in time. That's a lot of set up time to squeeze in. Work is still busy and for some reason people still want there air conditioners to run? :eek:

[BigRock]

How about "Rocked To the C.O.R.E Tour"

[KargoMaster]

How about "Rocked To the C.O.R.E Tour"

[tom tom]

big rock might of found a name for it does sound good:beers:

[tjjeepjeep]

I do like that...

[Trigger]

I doubt I'll be back in time if it's the 5th-7th. The next weekend is Toys for Tots at Haspin and then the weekend after that is T4T at Badlands. If the Atlas is in by then, I'm going to try to make both of those.

If I'm not back in time, you guys have fun and be safe. We'll see you around! :beers:

[began]

im hoping to make it to the trip.... Once Marching Band is over im going to need something to do to unwind.

[cincygman]

How about "Rocked To the C.O.R.E Tour"

Like it!:beers: might be easier to fit on a shirt than mine..........

Got the front drive shaft in last friday night in time to test it out on Saturday. Flogged the ole' XJ pretty hard and only casualty was battery:confused: and rear bumper. So the front locker is on the way. So far looks good to make the ride. :)

Thinking maybe just event stickers this year, no Tshirts. Thoughts?

[krawlin85toy]

[94Dodge Truggy]

I want a hoodie and a massage!
