I think we need to start 'organizing' for this? I want to go, but at that distance I really don't want to drive alone. Fireguy, maybe we could meet up in Lansing somewhere along 96 and convoy down? Just need to figure out times and such on when to leave, meet, etc.
Try and get as MANY members to go as we can, with or without your broncos. As some don't have one yet. ;)
This could be a lot of fun! :thumbup

Sweet! :thumbup

Maybe, sometime before the snow flies, we can try and get a color run together? That would be nice, something that even the stockers can run. :thumbup
Well seeing how almost ALL the trails in Michigan a Honda Accord can run down! LOL
Hmmmmmmm, maybe a trip to the Mounds? Since most everyone is within an hour or 2 from there. :D

We should all drive the road to Bobby Gay Lake, up in the Upper Peninsula. You need a serious rig to get thru that road. We used to just walk it with a canoe to cross the bad spots.

My cousin made a bobcat that was mounted on a early bronco frame and set 8 feet off the ground, we made it down the road with that, but just barely.:toothless

Maybe next summer all the maniacs could gather up there for a long weekend and see who can tear up their rig more.:thumbup

Yeah, I hear the trails up there are wicked! A friend of mine runs up there all lot. And most of their runs, they require a MINIMUM tire size of 38's!!!
But something should most deffinatley need to be planned for next summer. :thumbup

If you guys can remind me, I'll see if we can go too. Although I'll have to drive my wife's Blazer unless I can swap out the trans by then...

I need front fenders and a core support so I can get new paint on by winter.

We're going but I'm not sure what time on Saturday (tomorrow). I have to get all the kids ready to go... I think we're going to hit Camping World while we're down there too. I just wish I had some money to spend... I still need two front fenders and a core support for my 81 so I can get some damn paint on it before winter... I'm tired of looking at the rust!

So who went to the Bronco Fest??? We drove into the parking lot and left... There were only a couple of 60's trucks on the lawn when we got there (Saturday 4'ish) and a couple of people packing up...

We stopped by Camping World on the way out and found way too many things to spend money on so we bolted as quickly as possible before going broke.
