Don't forget abut the other 8-10 people coming from the Isuzu 4x4wire!

This is gonna ROCK!! I am so wired...I can't sleep!
Time to hit the captain morgan's I guess. That will get me to sleep!

Glad you got to make it out man.It really is a great time out there and wish I would have got a chance to talk at you and your bud(no pun intended) more.Although y'all about drownded me in that one big water hole...came through a bit fast didn't ya...LOL.

Any time you're ready to go out again...let us know...we'll see what we can do.

vx died just as I pulled in my garage(witnessed the limp home feature up close and personal) Batt light came back on about 20 miles from Chi-town Thank God The HID's only use 35 watts. I guess I will have to charge the batt tomorrow and find a coin op wash to blow the crap outta my Alternator hopefully its not toast.

how much do they run?

I had so much fun guys!

Sorry to hear about the ride Josh! I hope it the end it might be nothing. Or your looking at about $600-800 I think. I should know (I've replaced so many) but I've blocked that out of my memory.

My TOD problem went away, like i had hoped and it's back to normal, though after today I can't look at the VX the same way anymore!

It would have been nice to get to know all of you better. I supposed there will be more meets! I'll put up a photo page soon! Anyone who wants high res just ask.

I don't know why some act up when others do not. However... some of us had more fun playing in the water than others. Thanks to all who came out to play. I can't believe this Isuzu meet consisted soley of VehiCROSS owners (and 2 honored guests from the Wire)... shocking! A record 8 of them! Overall it was another great time in the Badlands. We had a few VXes put in 4-LOW for the first time EVER! I enjoyed meeting all the new VXers and putting faces to names on the forum. Omega took his VX off road!?! Never would have thunk it. I figured it was strictly a show-n-shine street VX. Jay, you really proved me wrong (glad your sis made it too... way cool)! No breakage, no un-rescuable stucks (nice try though Kasia), and beautiful weather too! I hope that the VehiCROSSes suffering glitches return to full health, and that we have another meet soon. Pictures will be up A.S.A.P.

It was really great to meet everyone and see some familiar faces! We have to have another meet so I can keep everyone's name straight. had a great time.
Fiend, you were a madman running around spotting everyone and camming...with a broken arm! Thanks John. I would have bought you a beer at Pizza Hut but Gil had that monopolized. Next time bud!
Sorry to hear about your altenator Josh. I hope it's just crudded up like you say.
The weather held pretty well I thought, for Indidana. It changes more in a day than Chicago does in a week.
Really cool pics DoubleA! I will try to get mine up later today, have to drop off for developing. I know, I know, I got to get in the now!

Had a great time meeting and offroading with all of you. Found it kinda funny on the first run there were 8 vx's all following a yota, but he did a great job of leading, until he ran off that "cliff" I'm up for a run in june/july, somone pick a date.

I was definatlly amazed at all the non-lifted vx's and how well we did. Alittle slippage, alittle hangups, but overall not really anything major. I think one body scuff for body damage and that was it besides some pin strips.

I think the award for slippage has to goto Aaron for his amazing ability to gun those crawlers. And the hangup award has to goto kasia for her little mud play. I think you took about half that hill with you back to chicago It was kinda funny that both happend at the same time, kasia was back in the mudd on one hill while aaron was trying to get up another.

Thanks to all the spotters that helped out, I know I felt much better seeing john, rob and darrin standing at the top of the hills yelling to just gun it over and everything will be ok. Especially on the second run where you couldn't see anything on the way down.

Gill, I know what you mean, I always planned on taking it offroad. But, after you and Rich's horror stories at that first meet I had second thoughts. I'm really glad I just did it. I'm looking forward to the next meet. I know I wouldn't have done half the stuff we did if I wasn't with all of you guys and trust you so much. I think overall I'm more scared of hitting a tree then bottoming out on rocks.

Rich, I gotta say man, you question every hill, you scout it out and I love you for it. I know some disagree alittle, but being my first time I'm glad you were up front checking things out.

Josh, I had a similar problem while out on the trail. Mine died 3 or 4 times after getting out of the river. Then again on one of the hills in the second run. Although, It didn't die at all after that. I'm guessing I just had gunk some place it wasn't supposed to be.

John, man it was great giving you a ride. I'm glad you were able to get out of the house and work out some of that energy. You sure were jumping in and out of kasia's truck running up hills filming and spotting. Thanks for everything especially getting this meet started. Let me know if you ever need a ride again.
