Hey Folks....just my .02 cents...but I was reading a thread over on WA regarding the most recent run, and apparently, there were folks from WA waiting for you guys at Circle K, and apparently Kyle and the group drove right on by them without saying a word or stopping... Now, I am all for this forum and I think we should work really hard at keeping it TUCSON based. The AZVJC is mostly PHX, and WA seems to be fairly spread out. It would be nice to have this forum for just the locals...from rockcrawling to family runs. My rig is fairly built and I can take it about anywhere, but I also like to load up the kids and just go exploring... seems like there are a few folks here interested in the same thing. My point is...if we want to keep this forum alive...we need to promote it... When you see a rig at a gas station, or headed towards a trail...if you can stop and shoot the proverbial sh*t, then do it... thats the only way we are going to get more members here. Ok...stepping off the soap box now...

I agree with you 100% . I was under the impression that roverob and myself were the only ones going on the run. I guess I need to check the other forums to make sure.

I’m sorry we missed JimmyJack the other day. I tried my best to post an accurate run announcement complete with address of the meeting place and a photo of my rig. I’m all for promoting this group and I’ll stop, shoot the S**t with other off roaders I see from now on (I’m form LA 8-)and we just don’t talk to anyone we don’t know, they might want something from us) and tell them about our group. But I thought we where being friendly with a wave to a rig on the side of the road. Should we stop and see if any rig we see is looking for us (not a slam but a real question)? This internet meeting thing is new to me.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to stop. I mean you never know, they may be looking for someone to tag along with. I usually just wave but I guess from now on I'll make sure to stop. Also, I posted up at WA and apologized to jimmyjack. He posted back saying that he didn't read the run info that was posted on TOR. He also said that he would have done the Chiva trail regardless so I guess no harm done.

How about a card sized flyer with the web address and who we are. If the driver isn’t around pop it under the wiper or if he/she is around we could hand it to them as we chat up the group.

I made a flyer with all our info on it. I can post it up so everyone can print off a few copies to keep with them to give to anyone they come across who might be interested.

Okay I'll look into some stickers. I'll let you know. How many do you think we need? I know that print shop will give a break if we buy a lot. I'll also find out the price breaks. Cool

Archangel has made up a business card size promotion for the forum. I am going to post them so if anyone would like to download them and print them out to give to anyone who might be interested in the forum that would be great. FrontBackThey need to be printed on business card stock and there is a front and a back. Just edit the name on the front and your all set.

Hi JimmyJack from WA. I agree with Archangel. Just pull over and say "Hey, you on the internet? Check out Tucson Off Road". That's the point I was trying to make on WA. I read the post and just went to the wrong Circle K, it didn't say anything about chimney rock ( I don't think). When I hear Reddington I think Chivo, when I hear Circle K I think of the last one on TV road near the substation. So, no harm no foul. We'll catch you guys another day.

There is a little kiosk in the BX that will make stickers.... I'd like one too if you get any mande... Gotta get the website in there though.... T.O.R. - www.tucsonoffroad.proboards107.comI wonder if there is anyway to get rid of the proboards107 part of the address..It would be MUCH easier if it was just tucsonoffroad.com

I wonder if there is anyway to get rid of the proboards107 part of the address..It would be MUCH easier if it was just tucsonoffroad.com There isn't really a way to get rid of it unless I host the forum myself. If I had known there would be so much interest in the forum I probably would have hosted it myself to begin with. The only problem with that is all the posts would be lost and we would pretty much have to start over or we would have to remake each post.

Just lookign for some input on this possible sticker, probably something like this without the tires in the background because the picture place will probably only be able to do the words and the website quote author=archangel board=general thread=1152503558 post=1154117457]There is a little kiosk in the BX that will make stickers....

If anyone found a way to get those stickers made, i would deffinately buy one and stick it on my truck. I like the idea that zjeep posted with the words on top and then the website underneath.

If were gonna make them we should probably get them made before the run to Mt. Lemmon August 26th that way we can get them out to people who show up for it.

Here are a couple of bumper sticker designs. yotamaster is also working on a few so I'll post them up when there done. Let me know what you think. I was thinking that we could get 50 of them that way there is enough for people to have a couple. The cost would be $2 a sticker. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to share them.

Those look really good. I went by the Vinyl Graphics shop in the BX yesterday and got a 30" long by 2" tall vinyl cut banner made for my jeep that says Tucson Off Road..No address, but just the sticker. We need to submit this site to Google, Yahoo...so on and so forth so that it is a little more easily found. I'll post pics of it tonight...Also, if anyone is interested in the sticker I created and can get on base...they saved the design under TOR...just go into the BX, and its the second Kiosk on the left....
I really like the stickers you've got displayed here. What kind of material are they? Will they fade in the sunlight? Just a couple of thoughts..I'll buy one...just curious.
