DC area meet

[Thmstec]

I would love to make it, its only an hour away from Leesburg. Although I can't say yes for sure yet. I'll be picking up my VX this week . Assuming I don't get to lifting my VX before the 19th, think these trails are going to be easy enough for a stock 99?

Thmstec,

I would guess that you would be fine in a stock 99 - hey that rhymes.

I'm lifted with 33x12.50 Wranglers. I haven't been 4 wheeling in my 00 Proton yet & am concerned that I may get some tire rub with the suspension articulated so I want the trip to be 'mild' for my first attempt. If the trails get too difficult, I'll probably 'bail' before you (besides, it's my wife's VX so I'm not allowed to tear it up).

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.

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.
