G&G Off-Road Grand Opening Bash

Thanks for the great event Richard! Good food, good music, good wheeling, and good people.

I lost count of Infectious rigs at 23, but I'm sure I missed some. The Trailblazers also had a good turnout, providing some awesome entertainment with their bad-azz buggies.

Infectious, with daily driver street-legal rigs held our own against the trailer-queens of the Trailblazers in the Jeep stacking event (and we don't need no stinking ramps :stirPot: ). I saw Richard take out a huge extension ladder, so I am assuming he got some shots from above the action. From the ground, the stacking job by both clubs looked very cool.

There were lots of winches put to use on rigs both mild and extreme. It took 3 winches to get Monepit's sub off the minivan. I really enjoyed the demonstration put on by the COOT, and the appearance of the Barbie Jeep Safari Kar :lol3: .

I got to the event 1 1/2 hours late so I was not able to get footage of the guys that wheeled early (sorry Larry and Harry). Enjoy the vid;

Many thanks to everyone who joined us. We hoped everyone would have a good time, and from the comments we've been getting it looks like it was a great time for everyone there. At one point there were 46 4x4's parked in the yard, which was pretty cool. The jeepstacking was fun, too. I know we fed close to 200 people, and the music was pretty good. Not a bad afternoon party, we'll have to figure out how to do it again.

BTW, if any of you need to flex your rig out to check something, or try out a new mod, the big tires are there permanently, so come by and use them.
