TSJM questions

hey you going to BVORR this up coming weekend?

I think you can bring max there......I will check into it if ya want me to

Damn! I just made plans for this weekend.

Hey I was talking to some fellow jeepers in waco and they were telling me about preparing to go to the texas jeep jamboree, they told me how much it was $295 and my jaw dropped. I told them the Texas size jeep meet was only $45 for the rig and driver and $10 for a passenger and $8 each for dinner. They told me that they might have to rethink the whole $295 idea

Yeah, and that $295 price does not include any passenger. For those of us with spouse and kids, we start looking at $600+ not including hotel and gas. Easily over $1000 when you start adding things together.

That is the main reason the TSJM was started last year- to give us all an economical solution. I know guys that go to the Texas Jeep Jamboree and swear that it is worth the money. But I can say that I definitely won't be attending until after my kids are grown.

Shoot who has that kind of money....

Not to mention you get nannied around everywhere and really don't wheel much at all.

I was on the TSJM website earlier and I am having problems getting T-shirts.
It won't let me pick the sizes I want.

Please advice.

Could also be that I am a computer illiterate DumbArse!!!

I couldn't either, so I just emailed Renee after I ordered and gave her the sizes.

yeah... i was ready to pull the trigger then found that it was about $1000 for the family to go with. for many of the people that go, that isn't alot of money and honestly - if i wern't a total noob, i probably would have went. but i really would like an idea of what i am doing before i drop $1000 to do it

Tell ya what...I'll give ya discounted run for $500 anywhere in Texas...I'll even tell ya what you're going to get into...when ya want to go?



...Hell, I'll even through in a t-shirt for ya!

We are having trouble with the t-shirts size button, just make a note in the comment section the sizes you need. It should let you pick as many as you need. If you have trouble send me a email with your sizes.

FWIW there was no "comment" section available during checkout. The email works just fine though it may be a little bit of a pain on your end.

Also - did you guys see Tree's ranch and Krock on the "Ultimate Off Road Adventure" show on the Outdoor chann.... interesting... trees only got about a minute and Krock got a little more.

don't know if I missed it but is there Camping? Free of Charge? Where is everybody sleeping?

Well - I know a bunch are staying at local hotels...the wife and I plan on bustin out the 'ol "Coleman Camp"! Should be some fun by the campfire Friday/Sat night!

we're camping fo sho, it's way more fun to camp, even when you get flooded right TxRubiRig

Camping is FREE!!!!

If the wife goes - gonna stay in a hotel - if it is just me and Lil G then we are gonna camp.

Looks like it is about 80% towards the camping side at this point - depends on how much fun the wife has at BVOR

I'm in. Got the tickets, b-b-q plate, t-shirts, stickers. Ready to camp. Can't wait to go. Very new at this, only been to Spring Creek once so I will probable stick to the 1 & 2 trails. Looking forward to learning alot.

I thought the same thing until I went on my first trip - that chit went out the window just as soon as I got in line, and I never thought twice about it. I have not been to Trees but there should be bypasses over the tough stuff. I did plenty of 3s and a few 4s (using bypasses). As long as you have a good spotter and listen to them then you will have an absolute blast and be damn glad that you went.

"As long as you have a good spotter"


:agreed:

Shannon says that if your wife bases things on the BVOR run, you'll be on your own at TSJM. We've been to BVOR twice, and Shannon HATED it both times- she'll never go back with me, ever. BVOR is the only place Shannon hates. She'll hang all day at Shiloh, Barnwell, Longs, etc... But BVOR- I'm on my own when I go there from now on.

You might reconsider making that your wife's first run.

BVORR = Rollercoaster Ride

Work decided it for me...... check the BVOR thread...

Must be fate..

What is the physical address of the place? I see GPS coordinates only on their website.
