Cody,

Quite a few Broncos here in Illinois. I'm actually just north of Chicago, but a bunch of guys closer to you too. A lot of the regulars check in at www.66to77.com/forums/ that are in the Chicago, burbs, and surrounding areas. Sign up and check it out. "Members" section tells ya where we are all at. Another way to stay in touch for local trail rides, shows, and whatnot.

The Cliffs is not too far from you. My buddy with an EB and a Zuk could show you around there if you are out there. He lives in Marseilles.

A bunch of us are headed to McCaslin Mountain (Northern Wisconsin) at the end of September too (see my sig). Good trails. Will be a blast. Hope you can make it.

John

Wow i went to college in Macomb. Never seen an EB runing around there. Nice pic, and nice rig's. It looks like all of you are out of my trucks limits. Not trying to invite my self, but if you guys ever get to geather, and need a extra truck or man. Count me in thanks cody
By the way is that Attca IN?

 

[calger]

Thanks Jhon for the info and the invite. I would love to go on trail run, dont think my rig could hang. "Bone Stock" Would it be werid if i showed up in my yota? Would love to meet some bronco guys. How far is that up there? I think i am about 2 1/2 hrs from Chicago, how long for you up there?
Thanks for the post Jhon.

Hey Cody, I live up here in Chicago on the North side. I am about five minutes from O'hare airport. - ;D Mike

 

[calger]

Hey mike, do you ever make it down state? I think i saw your rig on that 66to77 illinois web site. Do you guys get to geather much up there?

 

[72_EB]

"Bone stock" would not be a problem either. We're gonna have a good mix of Broncos there.- show trucks, stockers, and trail rigs. If you had to take the yota that would be fine too. You'll probably only get a little grief for not bringing the Bronco. ;D
Seriously, Bronco or not, come up. Gonna be a tons of fun.

McCaslin is maybe 4 1/2 from Chicago (depending on how fast we're hauling).
I'd guess probably 6 1/2 for ya.

Guys, not from Illinois, but there will probably be four EB's from the Green Bay area going to the roundup at McCaslin in September (two of us already registered). I will be driving a uncut '68 with 31's on it, so I won't be doing any hardcore wheeling either. Karl

I recently joined up with John and Ken. It will be my first year running with these guys. I met John in person the other day. He lives about five minutes from me turns out. I hope that we will be meeting up for other stuff after Mt. McCaslin though.

 

[DRBRONCO69]

Hey John, how many are registered so far?
