For those interested in off-road runs, there is an established Isuzu "organization" called Pacific Northwest Isuzu Offroaders (PNWIOR). We are very loosely organized and do 4-6 runs /year. Last Thursday (New Year's Eve eve) we did the Lake Isabel trail north of Index, WA. I'm the only regular VXer in the group, but others come from time to time. A stock VX keeps up with the lifted, locked and lowered rigs pretty well. You can go here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PNWIOR
and register to be in on PNWIOR group e-mails.
The way to make an off-road run or a show and shine meeting work is to just do it! You can't accomodate everyone's schedule, so set the time and place in advance and "they will come".
I will be organizing a dunes run in April. It will be in central WA, near Mattawa (on the Columbia River). VXs just eat up the sand, we always have a good time. All are welcome.
