That's the Trail Team truck. I confirmed with Tim that the skid was made by a company TLC. He said it's in Southern California.

Re: 17th Annual GSMTR May 12-17th 2008

Just a little and update.

Registration has been extended until April 21st! There's still time folks! And here is a little more info about the week's events:

GSMTR Schedule

All Times are EDT
Monday - Check-in/Safety inspection- 9am to 7pm

Tuesday – Thursday: Check-in/ Safety inspection- 9 am to 12 pm and 4 pm to 7 pm

Tuesday- 9 AM Driving and Winching seminar at the pavilion followed by a guided easy ride, to be conducted by the FJ Cruiser Trail Team.

Wednesday- White Water rafting group meet at 8:30 AM at the pavilion. [Wheeling on your own is encouraged, if not participating in the rafting trip.]

Thursday- 9 AM guided easy Trail Ride- 10 AM to ? Rock Crawling competition at Campground Rock Garden. Free Refreshments in Metal Tech pint glasses at the Pavilion 6:30 pm ‘til?
Food provided by the FJ Cruiser Trail Team

Friday- Check-in/Safety inspection- 9 am to 12 pm - Rides be back at camp by 6:30pm for the Dinner (we eat at 7:00), awards, and raffle. .

Saturday-Campground will be open to visitors.

Sunday- Most folks pack up and hit the road. You may ride trails but you must be out of Crawford’s campground by noon Sunday unless you pay for additional days.

All Week- The FJ Cruiser Trail Team will be in camp to show you the Cruiser and other Toyota FWD vehicles and answer your questions. You all are invited to ride with them on the trail and slide behind the wheel and tackle a portion of the trail.

Because many of our participants are veterans of this event, we do not formally assign ride groups or departure times. If you’re unfamiliar with the Tellico trails, we recommend that you seek out a truck or two that’s equipped similarly to yours, and team up for an outing. The members of the committee will be happy to assist you, if you can’t get hooked up on your own. Stay off of trails 11, & 12 if you do not have a Hard-Core rig and an experienced group leader. There are a number of hard obstacle/sections of trail that are heavily used during events, if there is a line of vehicles waiting to try them, be courteous, if you can’t make it in 3 tries pull a cable and go on, let the next guy have a chance.

See y'all there!

Re: 17th Annual GSMTR May 12-17th 2008

May be the last GSMTR @ Tellico! This is the Southeast event of the year at one of the best facilities, with the best trails, fantastic scenery, and tons of other outdoor activities to partake if you wish.

It can make you feel real small...

like Woody a Toyota Trail Team Leader and owner of IH8MUD

Or it can make you feel real large...

like Bob Van Eeuwan who took the very difficult by-pass at Guard Rail and made it all the way to the crest! Probably the first FJ Cruiser to accomplish this ever...and without a scratch!

It's not too late to sign up! Deadline has been extended to April 21st.
Form is available at the first post on this thread.

Re: 17th Annual GSMTR May 12-17th 2008

I want to go. Best place to wheel in all the South.

P.S. An FJ really made it up Guardrail? No winching? We winched 9 trucks up that rock. Wow. I lost 6 pounds the week I was at GSMTR due to all the winching, hiking, etc. It was amazing!

Re: 17th Annual GSMTR May 12-17th 2008

As far as I know TN, GA, SC, NC, and FL club officers will be there. This would be a good chance to come out and see what your local clubs are all about.

UC will be there. Were in the big cabin and one of the bunk houses.
