J-Truckers, Let's own 2018!

Post by REDONE »

From Tuesday to Saturday morning, not a single J-truck was to be seen. :( I accept my part in that failing, but I'm determined to make next year different! It's a little known fact, but in 2012 we had our own little Invasion of the Invasion (inception-vasion?) and got our own shirts! :shock:

Image

The time has come for us to RISE UP AGAIN! We have no excuses except our own shame! Blake and BRUTUS have carried our burden for 5 years too long! There's like 50 of us just on the front range, if we can't out number the wagons next year, we've no one to blame but ourselves.

Image

If you're among the J-Truckers, post up here and commit! The official dates will be posted before long, affirm that you will do what it take to be there! :-bd

Image

If enough of us are committed, then I'll see about some American Made Ringer Tees TRUCKER HATS to show everyone how special we think we are! :lol:

EDITED because I don't want to take money away from OMR with competing tees.

Hopefully I can make it out next year but it won't be in a J truck. Be one of my M trucks, either a 715 or 725 flavor. Do I get bonus points if I drive it there and back?

Haha! While M-truckers may not see us as brethren, J-truckers certainly do. We had a pretty built M-715 a few years back roll in, but the suspension was NOT that ass-over-teakettle milspec suspension. If you drive it there, I'll have a beer and fried taters waiting for you! ;)

Truck Norris will be there.

Check out my gear ratio calculator

If you can't fix it with a hammer or duct tape you have an electrical problem.

Shortbus didn't confirm, he was just sticking out some feelers. If hotwheels is in the garage getting restored next summer, I'll file that under "wins". ;)

Alright! Austin puts us at 3! If it hauls your bikes and tows your TJ, I guess it can count as two. :o

1 truck and a fraction of a Waggy. :D

Come to think of it, Blake's is a fraction of a Jtruck. ;)

Well if the dates for next year are July 18 through 20 it looks like I can make it. I will leave N ID Saturday and check in Tuesday but will leave early Friday morning as I have to be in N CA for a family get together Saturday July 21. So you can count me in with a M715 or M725. When does the KOA registration open for next year?

Woohoo! That's 4! You can register with the KOA anytime before the summer ends. The info is the same 2017 as far as what sites and how to reserve. Tent sites only require $33 to reserve ( first night cost), the deluxe kabins are$155.

Awesome. I reserved my site for next year while I was checking out on Saturday. Grab a site now.
