Going to be having the 2nd Midwest Land Rover Rally this May 16-18! It will be at Badlands in Attica, IN again and will run much like it did last year. Wheeling, accommodations, and food will be the onus of each participant. T-shirts will be mostly pre-order this year. Not that hocking shirts out the back of my Disco wasn't fun but.........well no, it wasn't that fun. Haha!

Working on a couple things including a day at Mission Impossible. MI is right next to Badlands on private land. It's an additional fee but is supposed to be worth it. 33's and lockers are recommended. This will be pre-pay/register, too.

The website has the new dates on it and the rest will be updated soon.

Hope to see you there!
The only thing to register for would be the Mission Impossible trails. I haven't officially announced them yet(thought the info is up on the website) because I'm in the process up getting the PayPal set up on the website.
T-shirt design is just about finalized and as soon as it is I'll get it up on the website as well as PayPal info to preorder them.
No official BBQ this year, maybe next year!

What are you driving?

 

I'll keep an eye on the website for the paypal option. I probably won't do the Mission Impossible thing but plan to camp the weekend.

I picked up an 01 D2 with a lot of worn out stuff (ome lift, winch, snorkel, SD rack, arb lockers, KM2s, steel bumpers) in November. I've been out monthly with the Ohio 4x4 trail guys trying to sort it out.

 

Sweet! Sounds like you've got s good head start on your truck. See you there!

 

JUST ADDED: "Mission Impossible" run. Register by May 1st!! Midwest Land Rover Rally

Mission Impossible is a separate set of trails on private land right next to Badlands.
These trails arent for the faint of heart, there's a reason for its name.
Here's the recommeded setup per Badlands staff.
-34"+ tires, lockers, sliders, winch
-The cost is $60 per truck, minimum 5 trucks/maximum 10. If we get more the cost will go down and the difference refunded. If we don't get 5 trucks everybody will receive a full refund.
-The $60 includes a mandatory trail guide, entrance fee to Mission Impossible, and entrance fee to Badlands.
-Badlands will be open to 7pm Saturday and Sunday, so after MI you can still hit Badlands.

I'm in so we only need 4 more!

Any questions let me know.

 

So how did it go? pics? I just moved back from western WA area and bought yet another rover so I am interest in meeting the local guys.

It went great. I had some trail repairs as did an LR4 but I think that was about the extent of it. Lots of trails and fun.
Pics can be found here: Midwest Land Rover Rally
I have to get on the web guy to put up the rest of the pics and I need to upload mine still.
Maybe we'll see you next year!?
