DC area meet

you should be fine, ive taken my VX out to offroad parks a couple of times stock and havent had any major problems (knock on wood!) only damage i have done was scuffing up the trim piece under the passenger door and putting a good sized scratch across one of the wheel center caps. both were a result of the same underwater rock that nobody else managed to hit (including me driving through it at least 6 other times that weekend)... so just bad luck.

not sure what the condition of my VX will be for this one, I *should* have 31x10.5 tires mounted on 15" rims with a 4" offset, which will stick them out of the wheel wells about 2-3" more than stock...and a 2" lift but thats not for sure yet, otherwise ill be stock with stock tires

Note, I changed the date from 5 Feb to the correct date of 19 April. You'll have to enter your attendance again - Sorry about that but most people were looking at the calendar instead of the thread.

Are we still planning on camping? Should we start taking a poll of how many are staying overnite so that plans can be made?

I guess everyone has figured out that we are planning on some mild 4wheeling - nothing major. Too many of us are not quite ready to test our machines to maximum capabilities yet.

99.9% chance ill be camping friday afternoon - sunday morning since its a long drive to make for just a day;Db;

i've got entirely too much camping gear so all are welcome to camp with us.. all you will really need is a tent and some chairs.. most other things ive got 2 and 3 of lol.. i travel over prepared

May take you up on that offer.

Don't forget to RSVP (again - lost when I updated the calendar).

I would love to attend but am scheduled to be out of town that weekend. Hopefully we can have another VA/DC/MD meet this spring/summer.

Look on the calendar in August. I'm setting up a lake event near Fredericksburg.

Picked up tent and sleeping bags today. We're ready.

I vote for camping at Elizabeth Furnace since they have WARM showers (Wifey says it's a must & I second). Thanks to cstyles for the info. Here's a link.

Eric,

Yer right & it won't be fixed by April (just called). Other option:

I've been to the Shenandoah River Outfitters camp site. They let you shower after their river rafting trip. They have canoes and kayaks, it's a lot of fun. We could run the dry river park, camp out in Luray, go canoeing, and still drive the Peter's Mill Run the next day.

Only draw back is, the "family" camping environment. I would like to bring fireworks and boozy drinks, and be loud after the curfew. J/K. Well, I'll gauge the party scene once we get out there.

CSTYLES - Is this a go?

Yeah, I just detailed the VX. This IS a car show, right? :_confused

I want to be there, just gotta get out of a "volunteer" situation my step-mother is dragging me into. If I do come, I doubt I'll be camping. Just wheeling and socializing.

"Yeah, I just detailed the VX. This IS a car show, right?"

Of course it will ... for the first 30 minutes ... then we get muddy:)

Light wheeling only tho on this trip. I'm not ready to go hard core yet (may have to do a little more cladding trimming to be ready for any of that).
