Can we get all the Pacific NW Members that would be intersted in a meet and greet to sign in here.. Me and Gary (aka AXION PHOTO) are trying to get something set up for one of the upcoming weeks.. We can start out with a meet and greet to get to know everyone and move onto mod days and wheeling trips and so on. So if you are intersted put you name in this thread so we can get something together!!

Chris

The first greet is on ME... cook out with steaks, Hambergers, Beer, Soda and Music! Of corse... donations welcomed!

What areas is that including...how about me up here in Vancouver...lol

It might be nice, but I won't have time until July or August.

Hey... I love you guys from Canada! Remember I'm from Seattle!!
jUZ another stale cheasehead..... HHEHEHE

It includes anyone that is willing to drive to the area lol.. In my mind I limit it to Washington, Oregon, Nor Cal, Idaho, North West Nevada, and and Southern B.C.

If Gary is serious about hosting the first PNW meet and greet he is located in almsot in the middle of Oregon.. It would be worth the drive to me, plus even better if we got a good size group together...

Well to make it OFFICIAL... we gotz to do the big shindig on the Oregon COAST by the sand dunz..... I'll conX with the local......

Lez set the party favors at $50.00 per truck load. This will cover camping local for 2 nights. And I'll cover the FOOD! AND 1ST NIGHTS BEER TAB!

2nd Night b.Y.O.B.... Than we head to Crater Lake Oregon the next day or two....! Ideas any one???:wink-big:

That sounds like a kickass deal! Too bad I'm only about 2000 miles away. hahaha

Check into the regional X club up there. I can't remember the acronym for it but it is for the Pacific Northwest. You could probably pull several members from there.

Sounds great!! What month is this happening in?? I like summer....

We would love to have ya Drake!! but I think the fuel charge to me from you would mean a lil-less-beer for the crew....hehehe
Now that would just be perfect if we could get say 20 to 50 of the club on the Oregon Sand Dunes....!!! It's one of the best off-road ATV locals in the U.S. and the camp sites are 2nd to none!

http://www.pnwx.net/

yeah you gotta pay $20 to talk to about 25 members lol.. at least thats how it appears to be, maybe I couldnt figure out how to use to site though....

Hey Gary you ever drove a 2wd in the dunes?? how well does it work??

Drake that is only like $600-$700 in gas round trip :)

Hey Gary you ever drove a 2wd in the dunes?? how well does it work??

If ya stay on the trails your good but get off and you sink to the frame...
So what I'll be doing is shooting High definition video in widescreen format and shootin lots of pics with my canon -X-T-.....

I'll put a 1 hour movie together and then burn em on D/L dvd's for those who attend fofree.... I like my light scribe burnerz.... I use 4 of those...

my computer has a light scribe burner and I have never even used it, I looked into it when I first got it and found some kick ass designs on the net but I never looked into it after that...

Chris we need to get going on this PNW run.....can we get a list of members on the x.org who live in our area and email them? We need some channel to get a directory on this site going for these kinds of events....

G.

Yeah we need a browse member by location button!!!! We need a regions area so people know where to go for local info.... MODS get to work on this stuff!!! I am so underpaid and overworked for this position :)

Chris I'm sending you a private email with my direct contact info....

ATTN: TO ALL WHO WANT TO ATTEND CB and I will get this all worked out and post all that data in the thread. For those who want to attend Please send your contact information, I.E. Email address, Home or Work # and a cell # if you have one. EMAIL that info to Chris...

Chris will then confirm after we both work the details out and the full route of this 1st Pacific Northwest Pre Summer Run.... I'll get the Tee shirts made up and those will be included free to those who attend!

I think it would almost be better to plan this for a June/July it will give people more time to plan if we are trying to make a weekend BBQ/beach camp out, out of it.. We have 1 member down if its July :) Plus the PNW beaches are COLD in the spring months lol...

I 2nd the motion.... This will be set for either July or August depending on the availability of those who want to attend.

I STRONGLY encourage all those in the Northern California areas to come up and enjoy a good Pacific Coast BBQ- w/Camping and Xterra Run....

Yeah we need a browse member by location button!!!! We need a regions area so people know where to go for local info.... MODS get to work on this stuff!!! I am so underpaid and overworked for this position :)

That idea is on the "To Do" list but there are a few other changes ahead of it. We're gettin' there!

ohhh we have more changes coming, anything exciting in the works??

Im down for this!!! When and where? I went out sparrow lane near reedsport with my 2x4 with no problems getting to the beach

Im down for this!!! When and where? I went out sparrow lane near reedsport with my 2x4 with no problems getting to the beach

For anyone interested in this please post up any dates that you are NOT available to attend in the months of July and August


I know I am going to a Foo Fighters concert in July and I know i am going to Crüe Fest in August :) I need to find the dates still....

This thread will continue to stay alive for this M.A.G. until it finds a permanant home for the N.W. Xterra Owners Chapter... Please contact CBZDEL (AKA Chris) or myself for this event...

Tis is a long shot but what would it take to get this thread listed on the CulbX home page. Me and gary are really serious about making this off and we want every member to know about this...

I just had a nice talk with Chris today on the phone and we are gearing up now to have a trial run and pre scout out the locations for the M.A.G.

The MAIN event will take place in either late July or August.
It will be located around the Oregon Sand Dunes.

Chris and I will spend a weekend somtime in May,08 and camp out
over on the coast. Will also prepare the event while we are together.

After this pre-scouting event Will get the facts out to everyone here.

Will also have a formal sign up sheet for you to sign online.
PM me if you have any questions or suggestions.

All members in the Northern California and Canadian chapter are encouraged to attend and have a great time !!!

Thanks!

shawnx

I'm definitely interested, but my schedule limits me to a day trip. I'm definitely down for a meet and greet over here in the Seattle area for the members here. How about this coming Saturday at XXX (triple X? Issaquah?) or we can hit up a mid point in Seattle since some of us are from the Tacoma area. Let me know what you all think!

Hey everyone! I know the idea of a PNW meet and great have been thrown around recently and since labor day weekend is coming up, we may have a chance to meet for lunch. What do you all think?

what city are you thinking??

what city are you thinking??

We can do something in the middle...Seattle are or somewhere near there...seeing that it's 30 min for both of us.

I know we have a Seattle member and one close to me in Edgewood, not sure if there are any other local new members as I have not been on much lately..

I know we have a Seattle member and one close to me in Edgewood, not sure if there are any other local new members as I have not been on much lately..

Do you think Seattle's a good middle location for you? If so, we just need to hear from the other members in this area...

I can meet up about anywhere, anytime.

What sort of place we talking about? Something like Round Table or Red Robin?

Sorry, it's a little to far for us on the other side of the state just for lunch.
(Hmmmm unless we take my buddies skyline, or my other buddies ford GT, then we could still be back in time for dinner, lol):thumbsup-big:

Went on a ride with my buddy in his stock 4runner through wenatchee, up old blewitt pass then down and around some smaller roads and finally back home on hwy 2. Really got me jonesing for an X as he passed up a lot of fun opportunities but at the time I did agree with him as we were out alone.

I had sold myself on a drive out to the coast and back as a shake down run for when I get the X but now I'm wondering about heading East instead.

What are some of your favorite drives around the state?

There's some sweet drives by Devil's Gultch in Cashmere / Leventhworth. If you want more of off road, I would take a look at http://www.nwjeepn.com/WAtrails.htm

Are you near Spokomton?

Yep, here in dear old spokane, lol

Yep, here in dear old spokane, lol

Nice! I used to go up there every weekend when I was attending WSU. You know, maybe someday soon we can make a club trip from the west side and head out there for a weekend trip. Might be a good chance to order up a lot of stickers and just be able to pick them up.

Hey everyone!

Just to follow up, due to everyone's schedule not alligning, we have decided to postpone the meet and greet. Let's reschedule the meet in a few weeks. Please post the best dates for you and hopefully we'll be able to confirm a date and time. Looking forward to seeing you all!

Hey as long as it's within a decent distance and I can be back the same day I'll most likely show up for some good trailin'

I am resurrecting this thread. anything in the works for anything local?

I've been out to the 7 mile ORV park N.W. of Spokane several times, and I have to say it is a blast. Bogs, ponds, technical climbs/descents. It's got a lot of different type of terrain. If you live in the area, you owe it to yourself to go soon, before it dries up!

Depends what's local to you?

Duh, sorry. I am in Mountlake Terrace. I am on the King/Snohmish County line

hey we should have a vegas meet for the PNW x's! we'll meet on the strip and cruise then VIP tables at a club :D i can get a table at sapphires if anyone interested :D we'll have the CX night out!

Do it during SEMA week in Nov, and we'll be there.

Whats going on with the Oregon meet up? Im down to party it up if it has not already happened(and if a frontier is allowed) Let me know!

hey im road tripping it up to canada, anyone want to meet up and show me a few good trails? i got a PML and some 32s on my 4x4 2001...

So what is the deal with the meet? I'm up in beaverton, but could go down to the keizer/salem area too. :chillpill:

We're probably having one over in Spokane WA in a week or two, but that's quite the drive for you, lol.

Just a little :kaffee-big:

Any oregon meet ups before july?

:fan-big:

I wanna go! Lets do it! I just got my x and live in S. OR I love the coast! Lets do it! Ill even set up my x to use my 42" in the back with the xbox 360 for the nights! Let me know!! rickaarons@gmail.com let me know

Im Outside eugene im down for the coast and runnin on the beach I got the perfect place for some wheelin and fishin. A ++++ pink fin perch fishing from the beach and you dont even have to get wet.

What beach were you guys thinking about? I live in Beaverton, but have cousins down in Keizer, so central coast wouldn't be too bad.

Between reedsport and florence.

Have fun on the coast guys! Make sure to take a few pics

Hey, gonna be in Oregon mid-July.....send details when ready!

I would come from WA

Looks like i'll be at Pacific City, Or on the 4th of July. Anyone else want to meet up before that?

I'm most likely down, assuming I can get the time off. From Winnemucca Nv, about north middle of Nevada for those that dont know.

Thats one heck of a drive!

eh. im a travler!

nice. It'll be on of my last days before I head off to Kodiak

what days are we shooting for? I think I missed it.

I'm not sure. I just know i'll be in Pacific City on July 4th. unless people want to meet somewhere before that.

anybody maybe up for a tahoe weekend sometime? Ive lived just over 2 hours away for almost a year, and still havent been.

I would but I'm planning a move.

I would but I'm planning a move.

where to? Why(if you dont mind me asking)? I lived in Beaverton when i was a kid, and loved it.

I love Beaverton too, but I'm in the Coast Guard and am moving to Kodiak, AK for the next 3 years :kalt-big:

I love Beaverton too, but I'm in the Coast Guard and am moving to Kodiak, AK for the next 3 years :kalt-big:

Its not that bad up there. Only cold in the winter. I dont know if you have ever been there but Its super sweet and all the people are awesome. I used to guide in AK for a lodge. Togiaklodge.com (Guided for this lodge)
alaskanbitefinders.com
aktroutfitters.com

I've never been, but i'm pretty excited for the fishing, surfing and the northern lights. Hopefully I can save up for a lift and do some light wheeling up there too.

I'll be camping at either Sand Lake or Nehalem Bay this weekend if anyone is out there

Holy thread resurrection Batman! Something like this needs to happen again! Florence? Lincoln City? Depot Bay? Newport?

Check on Newx.org they get together a lot. I've meet a few of the PNW guys on that site.

Just an FYI, anyone can put together a meet & greet. There is no set person or pecking order here. Pick a place, set a date/time and see what happens.
In another club I'm in it's taken a couple of the guys setting monthly meetings and then actually showing up consistently to start to pull together more & more members.

Yep, that's how it works.

im game for anything around washington.. just let me know.. just got my first set of mods done.. ready to meet up meet some members gety some group shots ect..

Yes, I like that idea. Being from a Subaru community where meets are frequent and easy to come by, this should prove true this XC. There are a ton of these vehicles on the road and when people see a gathering, it intrigues them and people ask questions and it grows interest.

With that being said, where are the bulk of the members in and around the Seattle area?

If this event happens, I am game.

I have no mods, since I just got here, but I'll come check out everyone's rides and figure out what needs to be priority #1. That would be good times.

I see in your sig that you want a 2"BL, why a body lift and not a suspension lift or a Poor man's lift (shackles and torsion bar adjustment)? If I remember correctly AC shackels are about $80 and you can adjust the torsion bars by yourself for free. Just wondering, I'm not trying to "hate" on your list. :wink-big:

Do you guys mind starting a new thread? This is 2008 when it started after all! Lol

Yeah, but there are post from 2009, 2010 and 2011! It makes sense to just have one Meet and greet thread.

Yeah, but there are post from 2009, 2010 and 2011! It makes sense to just have one Meet and greet thread.

Do you really think it makes sense to look through this many pages for the current m & g? Just asking. I think it makes more sense to say feb 4th hooters6:30pm

A whole 5 pages haha, besides then can always go to the last page to see the latest updates. They can still say Feb. 4th Stars 6:30pm and have people see it.

I think I am more inclined to close the thread bc the op has not been active for yearssssss! If he were still active then he could change the title of the thread and then pnw folks would be in the know.

The OP is insignificant at this point. There has been some activity in the past few weeks. I'm pretty sure PNW people are in the know right now, you can't get any more clear than "PNW meet and greet"

Yeah you could. You could write official PNW meet and greet thread. I can edit it that too if you want. Let's wait for other pnw members to chime in on this. I'm not the type to just automatically override another member, but I want to get other pnw peeps opinions and I will do whatever you guys want with this thread :) cheers!

-James

haha sounds good man. It's always good to get a second opinion.

As the moderator, wouldn't you have the ability to edit anything prior to a certain date. Effectively you make this thread just as current as you need it. No need to start a new one. Plus changing the meeting time and locale and date is as easy as.....well you tell me?

=)

I'm up for changing the name or whatever on the thread.
I really just think we need a space where we can plan that we will get together at somepoint.
seems like we have a bunch of new NW members.

I'm on a couple other forums that do a new thread for every get-together, and I think it works better than way.

It's hard to find stuff in threads with hundreds of posts in them. Like meeting times and locations, for example. :)

Meeting times and location can be updated on the first page of the same thread, everytime it changes. 1 thread, not many, in my opinion would work best. But lets get a meet started, that way we can see if we even like each others company enough to meet more than once. ha ha.....
:)

Otherwise this is all a moot point.

OK, so we need a volunteer... Raise your hand if you made one of the posts on the first page of this thread, and you're willing to keep that post current.

:)

Yeah, I can edit this entire thread, but I am not going to keep a thread if I am constantly having to edit it when my suggestion in the first place was for you to create a new one per each M & G. See my point? I just don't want to have a thread that I am constantly going to have to tailor to meet the current M & G details and edit out the old stuff, when you guys could make a new one, and leave the old thread.

So what he is trying to very politely say is, "please make a new thread each time, like everyone else does", lol.

Thanks for reminding me guys, I need to get one set up over here in Eastern WA / Idaho soon also.

It appears that the experience I have with thread upkeep on Weekly M&G's was on the side of spoils. There is a club/forum that I'm a member of, that the thread is a sticky, and when the M&G's location gets changed through discussion in the thread, post #1 is updated accordingly. So really it's not a matter of "edit this entire thread" or "constantly have to edit", just on the occasion that a meet gets moved. But then again, like I said with the other club/forum, the moderator is a meet patron and club/forum creator, so has true interest in the meets. I didn't realize how spoiled we are to have that.

If I had the time, I'd volunteer to start a new thread and keep it updated. Maybe as I get more familiar with my X and gain experience with it I'd feel comfortable stepping up. I should have more free time after basketball season ends. But until then, I'm just going to try to lend ideas and recommendations and try to attend any meets in my area.

I do see your point. You don't want anything else to have to upkeep. I understand.

But, don't you think keeping one thread active is cleaner that having several threads about the same thing taking up space on the board?
+ fewer threads = less monitoring
Oh well. We'll get this figured out. Thanks.

In order for THIS thread title to be edited, it has to be edited either by the OP or a mod with enough power. I do have this ability, but I am also dealing with TONS of other members, and spammers and it is just annoying to me to have to edit this.

Now, you are right. You are spoiled because that mod on the other forum does that for you.

Just understand that most M & G threads are individual threads and your experience is more of a rarity.

Additionally, in order for this particular thread to be tailored as you desire (like it is on the other forum), a PNW member would have to be offered a moderator position, accept it, and also agree that that is how this thread should be run.

Also, I am a big fan of seeing positive outcomes of past M & G's. When you have a history and a display of old M & G threads with people getting along, then you get a sense of camaraderie amongst PNW members that new members can feel good about. :)

When I search the threads for an answer and I find it, I often times see that the title of the thread has nothing to do with the requested information. It will say something along the lines of "Holy poop shoot!" and the thread will have nothing to do with holy poop shoots. I open the thread hoping to see a nice ass, and then it is a question about a knock sensor. That is the case with this IMO especially since it spans 4 years and the title of this thread is not relevant to the current happenings :)

Very true sir, you do have a tedious job of upkeep. And I think the scale in which I'm thinking of a M&G is definitely more suited to someone local to the PNW. In my case, my thoughts are more along the lines of a bi-monthly get-together in/near Everett, WA for oogling at each others rides, and stroking ego's before heading into an establishment for a sit-down dinner/drinks and BS'ing.

I'll keep lurking and learning. Thanks.

I'll second that motion. Especially the "in/near Everett" part, since Marysville isn't too far from there...like, five minutes north.

ANY UPDATES ON THE PNW MEET?? I'm in Olympia WA and was seeing if any X'ers want to meet and plan a trip!

Nice X man! I'm no longer I Oregon though haha There are a bunch of Xterra owners that meet up though.

awww bummer! are you in the PNW at all? Or can you list the names of the ppl that are on here that you know? That would be great!

BakerX, Surf & Snow (if he comes on this site) and MudLover are the three that come to mind. MudLover lives near Seattle I think. I now live in Alaska haha

Oh and Keyz, who is a mod on this site also lives up in Washington somewhere
Creepy also lives up there

awww bummer! are you in the PNW at all? Or can you list the names of the ppl that are on here that you know? That would be great!

Check out the sticky at the top of this forum for list of all the pnw folks!

Yeah, we need to get something set up! Preferably in the more northern area, as I've mentioned before, I believe, as I live in Marysville about 45 minutes north of Seattle. As such, Seattle would be about the furthest south I'd want to go, but I'll go north almost as far as I have to.

oh cool! That would be pretty cool seeing a bunch of modded X's rolling through downtown seattle next to all the shiny lexus's and prius's lol. I'm going to try and hunt down more people to get this thing going! (Do jeep friends count? they are the Anti-Xterra I know, but more off roaders would be fun to talk and get a trip set up!)

im definately game!!!! ill drive a good distance if i HAVE too, i am used to driving to oregon to meet up with some Xterra guys down there lol, but maybe we need something more centralized, cause the PNW is WA, OR and CA so if you want alot of people your gunna have to have something that in the middle of everyone. just my .02 :D

nice! how often do you meet up with them? I would say like Eugene, OR would be a good place to meet..... Ideas?

i meet up a couple times a year to go wheeling, they live in the portland area

i meet up a couple times a year to go wheeling, they live in the portland area

Seriously? Are they on here? I'm just north of Portland and would love to meet up.

I'm still voting for the Seattle area... :D I hate Seattle, but with how little I make at work, and how much I'm paying for my X, the long road trips need to be very few and far between no matter how much I'd like to do one every weekend. Hell, it's gonna be hard enough going to Idaho at the beginning of August. Only way I'm doing it is I got $1,500 from a settlement from an injury at work. Lady totaled her Patriot by turning in front of the big ol' box truck I was driving...totaled that out, too.

Anyways, north is preferable. Just MY 2 cents. :p And as much shit as we can flip at all the pretty, expensive cars the better.

sweet! tomorrow I'm going to write down all the people I've talked to in our area and try to get something set up. sounds to me like just with the 7 people or so I've talked to, could all make it to portland. or Vancouver.

Seriously? Are they on here? I'm just north of Portland and would love to meet up.

i think there mainly on Thenewx, i think one of them might be on here, screen name Baker05X, iv just started posting here and iv had my rig for 2 years lol. next time i head down ill let you know

Cool! I know I couldn't go where Baker05X and you go with my tires/no sliders or anything, but I'd still like to meet up, maybe ride along if that would be ok. Or hit some greens :)

My sister lives in Tillamook so that might work for me too.

ya man and every trail we go on has a bypass, the first time i went i only had tires no sliders.. and i did just fine. so your X would probably do fine, just gotta watch your lines. and if not im sure theres room in one of are rigs!

I'm down for a PNW get together. Keep us informed

nice! how often do you meet up with them? I would say like Eugene, OR would be a good place to meet..... Ideas?


I like that idea :zunge3-big:

well how soon are you thinking? this summer would be nice

I'm up for a meet, but I haven't really had much for off road experience. And my X is pretty much stock except for tires and PML. So I wouldn't want to do anything too difficult yet.

That's ok man! There are trails that a stock X can go through with ease. Just remember one thing, your driving a truck, not a lexus :) lol kiss pretty paint goodbye!

I like to call it Kentucky Pinstriping

any updates?

Still compiling... I'll let you guys know soon

If you don't mind a drive and want to learn more about 4x4's, overlanding and loads of other things, check out this event: http://www.overlandrally.com/Overland_Rallies_and_Workshops/Northwest.html

so theres alot of talk about meeting up... but howabout getting the ball rolling and at least doing a roll call? cause it would be cool to set something up by the end of summer

I'm definitely in as long as it's not too far away.

Man, I wanna get my X dirty! I haven't had it off the pavement since I've had it! Can't do much since mine's only 2wd and only has the one stock skid plate :(

But, I'm down for a meet-n-greet, so long as I'm not ranging too far from Marysville, and it doesn't fall too close to my trip to Idaho, which I come back from on the 10th of August. Other than those two conditions, I'm game!

ya i have been itchen for some wheelin!!

K so I have tried PM'ing a bunch of people, the usual response is, well, if enough people go, and when? I would like to shoot some time in august. I am Game haha. I wanted to get a bunch of people here in the pnw to sign up as well. How about we start now.

Lets say August 8-9 (Monday and Tueasday) Just a slap on date until we can all rise above our "missing work" fears and actually go and play for once.

So. From this post on (hopefully) I'd like to have everyone involved in wanting to go on a meet (lets say either seattle, olympia or centralia in washington state....[any better ideas?])

So all in favor Say " I "


" I "

im in favor but you gunna have a hard time getting alot of people to meet up with short notice AND during the week.

agreed, but It's something. I can shoot for saturday and sunday as well. but like I said. Just trying to get something started.


So, saturday and sunday are most likely better days, yes?

garentee it would lol

ok good lol. If august is too short....maybe something like september? or october? like a fall run? Kinda gives people time to plan ahead...

ya id say end of aug. or sept. but it all depends on how many people you want, if you truely want a PNW meet then maybe do a month out, take a roll call of whos interested, and depending on how many people want to come and where they are from you should choose a central location. aka a bunch of people from WA and OR you meet somewhere in between where theres some good trails. I know TSF might be a drive for some but has enough room for alot of people and is very fun

yea, well I'd like to get a huge line of X's rumbling down the road like they do when everyone is going to MOAB or something haha. Yea, so maybe the middle of September?? And where is TSF? Here in washington we have a place called Elbe. Apparently rumor has it that you need (at a minimum) 35's and a winch to get you started haha. but I'm sure we all can get through there. (that info came from a Heep guy :p )

Tillamook state forrest OHV park in oregon, google search it ;) i know for a fact that there are trails there from stocker friendly to INSANE rock crawling. and every trail has a bypass so if someone is not comfortable doing trails they can sit it out and either ride with someone else or take pics. you do have to buy a Offroad permit though, but there only like $15. i think it would be a great area

I would probably be down for Tillamook, if it's on a weekend.

Cool! So that's next to Corvallis? If you ever hit the trails, I'm ony 1.5 hours from Portland if you want to hit some trails and take some sweet pics and videos :) I have a VERY nice $800 Canon Rebel T1i I like to use, and just recently bought a Go Pro Hero 960 HD Chuck Norris proof camera lol.

Nice! ok we could get a smaller group to go maybe, then entice others with our trial runs. I've never been out with X'ers (only Heeps...que sad trombone tune..wah wah wah waaaaaaaaa)

I'm good to go for a quick run on the weekend if you guys dont mind going sooner than the supposed "Big meet" for the PNW X'ers.

No it's on the coast lol

And nothing's Chuck Norris proof ;)

well if you guys wanna hit up some trails before hand check this out
