AZVJC 9th Annual BBQ at Hunter's.

[Hunter]

Its the 9th Annual AZVJC BBQ hosted at Hunter's

:::RAIN UPDATE::: I am watching the weather and there is a decent chance it might rain on Saturday. At this point, it is nothing definite as the weather forcast has changed a few times all ready, and well, it is Arizona. I am going to hold to the schedule, rain or shine, and hope for the best. Keep an eye on the weather and maybe keep those blue tarps and pop up shades handy.

Ok everyone here is the News and Notes for the BBQ

For starters, here's the how-to rules for the BBQ, for all of you rookies coming for your first time; or for those of you, cant remember the last one ..

This will be the main thread for the BBQ. If there are changes, they will be added here in this post. Watch the "update" date to see if anything has been added. Notes will be added. ( Such as more tables or if I need more BBQ grills)


1) First Rule,
And most important. Food. Everyone brings a little. Everyone will have alot. Bring a side dish, bring a few bottles of ketchup, plates, drinks what ever. If you can, post what you are bring here so some folks can get an idea what you are bringing. One thing I ask.... If you buy meat, try and buy matching buns, helps cut down on being too lopsided. Bring a cooler with ice and have a freind bring sodas or water. You get the idea.

For those of you thinking, "I should tell him to make a list", (it happens every year), it is IMPOSSIBLE to keep track of what everyone is bringing. I have 100 poeple signed up. I will have 150 show up. I go with the rule, "average in the chaos".


2) The W's of the BBQ

Where: Hunter Offroad Parking lot 625 S Smith Suite 1 Tempe Az 85281


When 3:00 PM Saturday, Dec. 1st. It will kick-off at 3 O'clock Parking lot will be full by 3:02. If you want to get in the parking lot and have a good spot lot, come early. And another thing...after all these years I have given up .. "Rock Rat Rule" will be in effect. If you want to come early for more BBQ time, come early. Parking lot will be open by 12:00

Why: Goes back to the roots of the very first one... Allows everyone a chance to meet other Jeeper's and swap ideas, check out other rides and get ideas, make freinds and have a good time. Most fun you will have with your 4x4 on pavement. There are a lot of new faces this year and the club needs a big get together. Plus, it gives you a chance to meet he person you have ben flaming back and forth. And maybe, just maybe we can figure out all the Alter Ego's



3) RTI Ramp,
It will be good times as usualy on the Ramp. Show everyone what you got. See if you improved over last year. Or just have fun and flex out for the camera. Lot's of pictures and probaly some tire climbing. But, with the general nonsense of peopel drving up on wheels, itas fun, but easy to get carried away. A few rules to remember:

No Rolling Off The Ramp on purpose. No climbing the buildings, tempting as it maybe be... And no matter how good of an idea it may seem at the time, no climbing walls. And while were at it, no 4 popper drag races either.:rolleyes:


4) Raffle
Ah, fast becoming one of the best, well known raffles out there.... Well, atleast in my mind. But where else can you get tire deflators, a JP Cooler, and a Christie's Coffee Thermos all in the same raffle?

Welcome our first Sponsers to help out.

Absolute Offroad
4Wheeler's Supply
JP Cooler
Daystar

The Raffle Overview. 1 Dollar a Ticket. 12 for 10 bucks.
*If you wear a Hunter Offroad T-shirt, you also get a free raffle ticket.
*If you deck out your ride in Christmans decoartion, you will also get free tickt for that.
*All profits go to help pay for the BBQ (uh, the bathrooms) and whatever is left over goes to Charity. Last year I donated to St. Mary's Food Bank. I handed them a check for 320.00 dollars! Great Job.

Also, if you want to bring can fodo items, I will make sure they get there. I have done that in the past

5) Drinking a few at the BBQ?].
I have NEVER had a problem with folks having some cold ones in all the years I have been doing this, but I have bring it up. Only thing I ask, remember, it is a family event, so take care and mind your self. It is private property so you can drink. So, if you like to bring some cold ones and talk shop with your buddies, go ahead and play nice and be prepared to share with the host. And just like the year's before.. dont ask what's mixed with my Coke.

6) Selling stuff Swap meet ideas.
Usually folks will want to bring stuff and try and sell or swap stuff. I have no problem.. Thats what this is all about. Got some old shocks or Jeep parts, bring and put them on display. Old winch you wanna sell? Only rule, dont bring so much stuff, that is takes up room in the parking lot for people to park. If you have something bigger, leave it on the street. I want to save room for folks to setup their chairs, and allow as much room for people to park as possible in the lot.

7) Kitchen Help
I need BBQ's... always do. More the better. From the past, 5 normal size grills can cook all we need im the time to feed everyone. Be a hero and bring a grill. We are always looking for volunteers to help. At this point I have nadda. Also, anyone want to run the kitchen area? I have found it does help to have alittle direction.

*Stay tuned to this as I will update it with who is bringing what.


Toys For Tots.

We have become pretty famous for this over the years. Mike, one of our members and a Marine, leads the charge for the Toy Drive. Bring a new, unwrapped toy and make a kid smile somewhere. Each year we have been getting bigger and Bigger. Lots set a new record this year!

Other Notes....
Also if anyone wants to donate to the raffle, Please contact me. In year's past we have had gift certificates for a restaurant other club members bought, to a free therapy massage by a another club member's private business, gift cards, or even the classic re-gift.
Email: hunteroffroad@aol.com 480-557-7577




Do not to forget too bring Tables and chairs to sit on too for you and for others. Also, I will need BIG tables for Kitchen Area. Contact me if you have some. Will need at least 4 to 5 3x8 tables.




I think that about covers it, but I know I probably forgot something. Be in touch with everyone. Take care. Stay tuned for updates........Also, dont be afraid to check out here. Info and updates will be posted here too.

[GRUNT]

Count me in! I will bring some burgers/hotdogs too...

[SHNIPE]

If ever there is a meet and greet to make its definitely THIS ONE

[Hunter]

Looks like fun. I still havent made any of the meet 'n greets. Maybe it'll be the first one. Count me in.

In short, this is the Mother of all Meet And Greets. They all started with this one back in 2001. At the time, club never had a big meet, so I thought it would be a good idea. Club hasnt been the same since. Ha ha ha!

[SHNIPE]

So are we gonna get a list of PREBBQ runs?

[ademster]

I'll be there with bags of chips and possibly soda's.


IF you dont get many volunteers to help ya cook let me know.

[My Green Jeep]

WOO HOOO!!!

Walt Samantha and I will be there...

Not going to miss this one... well, hopefully not :rolleyes:

We will arrive early to help!!!

[Washington_XJ]

I second that - if you need help with any of the preperations its the least I can do to feel invited Hunter. I am usually the cook at our BBQ's so if thats a way I can help we can deffinately figure something out...

[k7mto]

So are we gonna get a list of PREBBQ runs?

The pre-BBQ run threads typically start popping up right after John posts his BBQ thread.

John - I PM'd you about possibly using our band for entertainment this year.

[Fire Ball]

Glad I heard about it in time. I'll go put in my bid for the day off right now. :)

[Andrew F]

I'm in. I'll stop by in the next week or two to see it you need some help. Hopefully the tube work on my Jeep will be done by then.

[YJunk]

I'm no good with the alcohol; there is no middle ground for me... If I'm boozin, I'm BOOZIN!!! So I'll probably pass this year so the families can enjoy the get together without some crazed hillbilly scarring the kids...

So, if you weren't sure if you were going to come this year based on my antics last year; please don't stay home... I'll stear clear so you all can have a good time.

I guess flexy will have to race himself this year.

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

I will swing by if I can get away early....

Thanks again John. It'll be another great year.

[Number 7]

We'll be there.

John, is there any kind of official list of what everyone's bringing? It would be sad to get there and only have mustard to eat! :eek:

No seriously, I'll be watching before I decide what to bring. And I don't mind helping with the KP duties.

di

[Hunter]

Bump! Check out the newest added Sponser's to the raffle and also tips on how to get free raffle tickets.

There is not much of a list, or way to keep it. This thread is about the closest thing to a "guideline". I woudl have people sign up, but most folks arent part of the old AZVJC system with a sign up list. Going to kinda wing it this year. I will still set up the list tonight.

[Ted]

Ill be in Minnesota :( I wanted to go....

Anyone know if Mike is still planning on handling this again? I don't think he visits the BBS and I didn't see any posts on the Yahoo list about the BBQ.

[Number 7]

Yeah, he is.

[CaptainMorgan]

If Raul(350cj5) gets at least half the day off and my TJ is fixed I will be there...I would love to RTI it...then again I would like to take the CJ since Hunter built the cage...plus CJ's are cooler than TJ's...


I will bring some homemade M&m cookies and some dogs w/buns...sounds like a good time and from the pics it looks like a cool Jeep show...I would love to eat hot dogs, drink a beer and check out all the cool Jeeps that will be there.

[crgeorge]

Hey, this sounds like it might be fun. Unless anything changes, I'll be there. Maybe I can talk my wife into making her 7-layer bean dip, it's awesome.

Chad

[thedon]

I'll be there again this year.
last year was a good time.:)

[amber.hodge]

That is drill weekend. I believe we are just doing JAG/sexual harrassment/suicide prevention/ptsd briefings all day, so I should be able to be there at 1630, but will, unfortunately be in uniform. Do you have somewhere to change there? (a private somewhere to change)

[Wildcat455]

(a private somewhere to change)

Sure he does, with real indoor plumbing, too! :D

Yes I do, be more than happy to let you change.
And Bill is right, it even has working water.

Haha, I always felt like someone was watching me in there.

LOL! you boys are funny. I'll be there....Probably be more private than the office. Ben's flattered that you are so interested in watching him change...he wants to know if he should wear the pink tassles or the blue ones..... :eek:
I'll be baking apple pie for that weekend to bring in to drill....Hunter - you want me to bring an extra apple pie in for the party?

[Hunter]

You bet Amber. more food the better. What's left, can always be taken home. it sucks running short.


Oh, Blue please.

[tomfooshee]

I hope to make it.

[lancetkenyon]

Hey Hunter, when we did the TM clean up last month, I won the raffle for the Tomcar tour. It is for 3 drivers(must be 21 or over), and a half day guided tour. I would like to donate this to the raffle.

[Hunter]

You bet. I think that is a fantastic idea. Thanks man.

[Wildcat455]

LOL! you boys are funny. I'll be there....Probably be more private than the office. Ben's flattered that you are so interested in watching him change...he wants to know if he should wear the pink tassles or the blue ones..... :eek:

OK...

Did anyone else get the visual of Ben with the apple pie... Ala Amereican Pie movie...





































I didn't. :D

I remained focused on the women's restroom where the webcam will be set up!!! :eek: :D

Guess I'm just weird.... :p

[desertangel]

I will be there. Can make some potato salad and baked beans.

[Number 7]

On behalf of a friend of mine who does Toys for Tots every year at Hunters; and who this year is also introducing something we can all do for our troops in Iraq:

Again this year, for the 4th year in a row, I will be doing the Toys for Tots collecting for the USMC Toys for Tots program. We have filled up my Grand Cherokee every year with as many as 150 gifts. I think the record was Joe Daro from Absolute Off-Road who gave I think 15 or 20 toys at one time after a shopping spree in which he had no clue he told me at Toys R Us. And one of the most generous ones was last year when someone gave two new bikes, one for a boy and one for a girl (sorry I forgot your name).

So again I ask each of you to think of the kids who are less fortunate and donate a toy for Tots again this Year. We are looking for a NEW, unwrapped and unopened toy for a boy or girl. You decide which, how many and how much to pay.

Bring it to the BBQ or if you cannot make it to the BBQ, please drop it off to John at the shop during regular business hours, but don't do like me and spend an hour jawing with him cause John needs to make a living!

NOW Part #2 - Operation Stocking Stuffer

This newer program is for the troops deployed in war zones and I will be collecting for them too!

The top 10 donations needed are:

1. Beef Jerky and Corn nuts to savor during long and boring watches
2. Protein Bars, pre-packaged tuna or chicken salad with crackers for quick snacks and energy
3. Slinkies, nerf balls, frisbees to play with during downtime
4. Olive-green or black T-shirts (L/XL?) and long boot socks because laundry is hard to do and seldom available
5. Chapstick/lip balm for dry lips
6. Baby wipes for obvious hygiene reasons
7. Chemical hand and foot warmers for those cold nights in the desert
8. Disposable cameras to document their experiences -or- if you are so
inclined digital cameras, especially that old one that still works that you just bought a new one to replace.
9. Q-tips are very useful especially for cleaning weapons.
and lastly:
LETTERS and CARDS of Encouragement along with maybe those old issues of 4x4 magazines that you no longer read !

I really appreciate your support of BOTH of these programs and see you at the BBQ.

Mike

[1BLKJP]

old issues of 4x4 magazines that you no longer read !

Mike or George or Diane,

I have a whole printer paper box or boxes filled with old mags. Was trying to do this same sort of thing a few months ago, but ended up getting stymied by the army. Not their fault it's just hard for an indivdual to get these things sent over with no one on the other end. I'll have them at the BBQ for you.

[WalterD]

FOOD:beatdeadhorse5:

How long does this thing usually last? I'd like to go, but I'm working until 6 that day.

[Hunter]

[TMR37]

I'm going to try to make it. I'll bring my EZ-Up just in case of rain. Not sure what food products I'll bring.

[Tay-J]

I will be there, I will get there early too incase anyone needs help setting up anything. I will bring my cooler full of something, have to see what the old lady would like to bring first. Is there any specific food I should bring? Anything you need?

[Tay-J]

What is happening after the BBQ? Any trail runs for Sunday?

[ROKBITR]

Count me in! I will be making the trek. Not sure what I will be bringing, but I'll bring something! Can't wait to finally be able to put faces with the rigs. In my mind, everyone looks like this.....:D

[trailboy]

Me and my family are planning on attending and bringing chips, paper plates, maybe some other stuff too, also a toy for kids and something for the military. Thank you.

[amber.hodge]

We'll still be there and will still be bringing apple pies. :)

Thanks for having this, Hunter - the timing couldn't be better - I really need a distraction.

[Hardline]

Wayco and I got back from Death Valley early and will be there. Will bring burgers/buns and anything else that will fit in the jeep (Wayco is a CHAMPION packer....:eek:)

Amber - can you bring my chip/dip containers?

[amber.hodge]

Hunter - everyone -

I'm really sorry, but I cannot make it....Ben's not too happy he has to take care of me instead of going with me to this...and has asked me to sleep on the couch or the guest room for a couple days (which I'll do begrudgingly):

I've gotten myself so stressed over my Mom's cancer that I'm suffering from migranes and also have gotten a viral infection. Not allowed to be near mom because of it, not allowed to go to work this weekend (I really needed to because I need my gear together for school in Jan), not allowed to go to Hunter's.....only allowed to lay in bed and take codine medication......

[desertdawg]

I'm working this weekend, not going to make it.:(

[amber.hodge]

Wayco and I got back from Death Valley early and will be there. Will bring burgers/buns and anything else that will fit in the jeep (Wayco is a CHAMPION packer....:eek:)

Amber - can you bring my chip/dip containers?

You know, I'll have ben stop by with them really quick on the way home from drill - he won't be able to stay long, but maybe that will make up for me being an invalid this weekend.

I will NOT be sending pies.....mmmmmmm virally contaminated pies :dizzy2: - nah doesn't sound good at all. Hunter - I'll drop one off just for you when I get better.

[RickBeer]

I wont be able to attend....... But I will take a Rain Check

[thedon]

Dont forget your raft.. Let see who the real Jeepers are when they show UP or stay home on the poarch looking to the rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!:joker:

[Hardline]

I'll have ben stop by with them really quick on the way home from drill - he won't be able to stay long, but maybe that will make up for me being an invalid this weekend

Sounds good.

[My Green Jeep]

Ok... I am hoping the BBQ is still on...

I just got done making 25+ pounds of potatoe salad...

[lancetkenyon]

We will still be there, bringing tarps and an awning to cover the rig though.

YEP. You know it. From head to toe.:punk:It is going to look like a swap meet with allof the easy ups set up. See ya there.

[TMR37]

I wonder if people will stop by thinking that it really is a swap meet?

[1eagle]

That would be funny.

[joshsteele99]

Hi all. I have a bunch of tables and chairs that I was going to bring to help out but my Jeep is still getting the 8.8 installed and I have no way to pull my trailer. If there is anyone out there who can pull a trailer or has a truck please call me so we can get these over to Hunters. I live on Baseline and Stapley so its not far from Tempe. Hope we can make this work, Thanks Josh 480-593-3245

[TRobertsRN]

Just picked up tables and chairs from Josh.

Headed to Hunters.

Just got back from Hunters BBQ, what a blast! We got there early so we could park in the lot, plenty of slots left, even at 2 pm. I saw a lot of people who looked familiar, just don't know everybody's names yet.
Sharon took some pic's of the crowd and the ramp, here are a few:

[HYDMAN]

I showed up late but the turn out looked good. Hunter put on fireworks to start the raffle. Nice touch.

I had my ZJ on the ramp. Wheel base 105", 86" on the ramp. SOmebody was trying to explain a number that had to do with 1000 but they were not real sure. What is with the numbers?

[Moriarty]

Had a great time. Thanks to Hunter and his wife for putting on a great event.

[JPCooler]

We had a great time as well.

Thanks again to John (Hunter Offroad) for putting this on for us. It is nice to meet and BS with people we don't wheel with very often, as well as the ones we do !

Good times !

[rubicontrail]

I had a good time. I didn't ramp my XJ because it would have looked about like the Patriot's. Too bad I didn't win those quick disconnects in the raffle. :-(

[Tay-J]

Yeah, how does the RTI score work? I have a regular TJ wheel base. Got 94 inches up the ramp. The BBQ was great by the way, thanks for having us!

[lancetkenyon]

distance traveled up the ramp in inches/WBX1000.

[Hackle]

RTI scores attached

[1eagle]

Jim, thanks for keeping track of everything. We had a good time.

[WalterD]

I think Roger maxed out the ramp going up in reverse.

[1eagle]

The little (YJ) that could. :driving:

[Hunter]

Was a beast. Long live leaf springs.

[Tay-J]

Dang, who ever did the scores got my info all wrong. I am on 35s and went up the ramp 94 inches, not 88. As I was told at the BBQ I got 1005.347. Just wanted to set it straight for everyone.

[lancetkenyon]

Anyone know who that "Lance Keaton" guy is?

[xjstocker]

brother of michael "i'm batman" keaton?

[Wayco]

Anyone know who that "Lance Keaton" guy is?
Yeah, I checked my name on his fancy Dell computer, I think it was Wacko, which isn't far from correct.....:dizzy2:

Both of you have valid points.......:fashizzle:

[OlneyJeeps]

[AZXJ]

Hope everyone had a great time!!

[ladyjeeper2004]

Dang, I wanted to come! But, I started to hear a whining noise coming from my Jeep a couple of weeks ago. Friend #1 checked it out and didn't see anything. Thursday, I hear a ping like something flew up from the road and hit the undercarriage. Then it's like I'm driving around in pudding. All over the road and dipping to the right rear when I take off. I am really concerned now. Cannot get my reliable mechanic until Sat aft. Bummer! It could have been bad....a big important bolt had backed out of my right rear axle and left!!!! I guess the only thing holding it in was the C-clip! It was sure rolling around! Boy, am I and others on the road around me lucky!!! I've never heard of that before in 20 years of Jeeps! I guess it's another Jeep Thing! For sure next year!!! And now that I know where to look, I'll be inspecting it weekly!

[1BLKJP]

It was good times to see all you fella's again and I just wanted to make you all feel better about your ramp scores so I stayed aired up at 30 lbs. :D :D :D

Glenn, thanks for standing on the ramp for us later when I almost drove off of it. :D

[Wayco]

Joe was gonna blow the whistle on me for disconnecting my anti-rock, I didn't know that low tire pressure would help. Mine were at 25 lbs. This is the second time Hyjak has been on a ramp, the first was at 4 Wheelers right after the new tube fenders. I think I measured straight up from the ground to the bottom of the tire, shows how much I know about ramping....
