Bump, you can still make this event :)

I'm going to be there!! BUMP

I picked-up some used 265/75/16 M/T tires and road them last weekend off-road and worked well. I need to get my rack back on with some chicken coop flooring, and need to clean up the camping trailer to get it ready for the trip. Trying to get the CDL ready by then also. I should be rolling in late Thursday night.

Still hoping to get off work in time to make the weekend, I need a good trail day or two

BUMP, you can still make this trip and pay when you arrive. Should be a great camping and wheeling weekend!

Im headed down friday afternoon with the family -- Someone has to represent the LR3s. Looks like a beautiful weekend. 72 and sunny sat and sun! The friday morning rains might make the trails a bit interesting!

Had a great weekend wheeling in some picture perfect weather in NC. Good food "Hungry Hog BBQ" and friends! What a large quantity of items from our sponsors for the fund raising charity raffle. Some pretty nice items, like an Ironman 12K winch, Powertank, Southeast Overland synthetic winch cable and super strong dog leashes, couple pairs of TF shocks, a Nexus tablet, Powertank accessories, multiple Dewalt battery powered hand tools, saws, shovels, recovery straps, lots of shirts/hats/stickers, CROC Logo insulated cups, LR insulated cups, gift certificates from $100 to $25 from multiple vendors for metal fabricated items and stock LR accessories, quick fist of all sizes, gift cards for REI gear, some nice large scale toy defenders, and some nice Land Rover illustrated books and other great kids items. Rovers North, Atlantic British, Lucky8, Rovaguy, RTE, Two Guys Metal Fabrication, GBR (former Great Basin Rovers), Dewalt & Stanley tools through Lowe's, Mountain Kakis and others helped support our club and the NC Animal Conservator's Center.

Great job by our new Carolina Rover Owners Club ("CROC") board and great job by our sponsors of coming through with lots of items for our raffle. Also, our parts & repair guru Will Tillery and his band "The Stone Saints" played some great Blues tunes old and new after our Sat. BBQ feast and raffle. Will looks just as comfortable on the keyboards as he does under a rover! Great time! Hope to see you their next year! Always great to see some of the older vintage classic rovers like we did this weekend out on the trails.
