Btw, I've always thought TTORA stands for Toyota Tacoma Off Road Association because the few vehicles I've seen with your club stickers are Tacomas. Guess not Anyways, I will try to make it to this event.
Thanks for the invite!
It used too be that way...now its Toyota Territory.
I LOVE Big Bear! Great weather, fishing, boating, off roading etc in the summer, fake snow in the winter. And close enough to big cities to not make you feel isolated.

Free Food?!?! C'mon, what's the catch? Is there a $5,000 annual membership? Or do I have to attend some 4 hours seminar?

DeMello Off-Road is paying for the free food and BBQ Saturday night. We like to do 2 runs a year to give back to the members of these boards that give us so much! We will be taking a head count as the event gets closer!
Do you want to go? You didn't make it out with us last weekend, we can hook up in August and wheel with TTORA. Our local NVTTORA chapter hasn't done crap lately, but the SoCal TTORA people are pretty cool.
I'll have my rear Hoe's on by then!!

No, it stood for Tacoma Territory Off Roaders Association, started by Shannon Brookshire in Texas. They changed the name to Toyota Territory Off Roaders Association in order to include all Toyota 4ws trucks and SUV's.

About Us
Shannon Brookshire, Founder of Toyota Territory Off-Roaders Association
Hello fellow Toyota off-road enthusiast! I am Shannon Brookshire, Founder of Toyota Territory Off-Roaders Association (TTORA). We are honored that you have decided to come check us out! TTORA is one of, if not the, largest Toyota off-road clubs around. We are nationwide with chapters in most states and our membership is constantly growing.
I founded TTORA back in April of 1999, although we had previously been an unofficial club since 1998. We have a vast knowledge of tech information as far as Toyota's go. We also consult with Toyota USA from time to time as they are interested in hearing our needs in the off-road world as well as many aftermarket companies who provide Toyota products.
When TTORA was first founded, we were a Tacoma exclusive club, hence our previous name "Tacoma Territory Off-Roaders Association". Over the years as our club grew, we found that more and more non-Tacoma owners were interested in joining our club. So, in August of 2004 we decided to open our membership up to any and all Toyota off-road vehicles. If you have any model of Toyota, whether it be a Tacoma, 4-Runner, Landcruiser, T-100, Tundra, etc. you are certainly welcome to join our club!
One year later, the decision was made to update our club name to reflect this change in our membership. Since we started allowing all Toyota off-road vehicles to join our club, we wanted a name to reflect that. Wanting to keep the acronym "TTORA", as that is how we are most commonly referred to as, the decision was made to replace the word "Tacoma" with the word "Toyota"...making our new name Toyota Territory Off-Roaders Association.
TTORA participates in a wide variety of different styles of off-roading that may interest you. From rock crawling to mud bogging to desert racing, we've got ya covered! You will find that the area in which you live will depend on what type of off-roading your local TTORA chapter is into. In addition to the variety of different types of off-roading, you will find that we also have a variety of different levels of built rigs. From bone stock daily drivers to homemade buggies and in between, we got em all! Most all events that our chapters setup are planned with everybody in mind. So even if you have a stock rig, we certainly don't want you to feel intimidated about coming out to one of our events we want you to come out and have fun with us, because that is what this sport is all about!
Our National Charter is based out of Texas, the good ol' Lone Star State, but as mentioned above we have chapters in most every state. If you need to contact us direct, please feel free to do so! Our contact info is as follows:

Not to be the materialistic one of the group (), but the other thread on TTORA talks about T-shirts. Should we gather our own information here and send it to the t-shirt person before a certain date??
Just to post meeting place info:
Meeting Place & Time:
August 19th, 2006 - Big Bear Discover Center rear parking lot @ 9AM Sharp. Be sure to be gassed up and ready to go as there isn't a nearby gas station to the meeting place. Also be sure to have plenty of food and water (lunch).
Remember: There is absolutely no drinking on the trail!
This will allow those that need it to purchase Adventure Passes ($5). Please keep it quiet and professional while in their parking lot, we are just using it as our inital meeting place and will split off into groups from there. The Discovery center has no information on our runs, so don't ask them.
Anyways, I will try to make it to this event.
