Vermont Overland Trophy

No takers on this eh?

You think my truck can do it?

I think I could lose a 90 lbs by then...:clock:

If I can get my Shrockworks bumper in time, I'll be doing this run in my 5th Gen. I'm still looking for another truck for the team though ... Any takers? QJake?

I would consider it but for these two issues:

At 7:00 am each day.......

and

Physical challenges.....

However, if they started around noonish (after brunch) and we could hire out the actual physical work I would be all in for a afternoon swim:

Right.. in the lush tropical setting of Vermont!.... LMAO.. I'm glad I was able to pint out the palm trees in that pic because otherwise the wife would never have approved adding this event to the go-to list.

Just goes to show what you know about VT. Here is Burlington in Feb. :surfer:

Nope! I'm with philly on this one! I'm more of a day tripper than an overlander

Is this event replacing the Vermont overland expo?

Haha fair enough - and I don't think so. If I recall they still had several day trips planned throughout the year (including the expo). I'm considering buying the year pass - one day trip a month sounds like good practice for the trophy.

Yeah I looked at this also but $700 for six trips is a bit much. They also limit each trip to 10 vehicles including the guide vehicle (so actually only 9) so chances are slim you'll get in on all of them.

I will be doing it. but I'm not a 5th gen, sorry :bigok:

Couldn't hold out any longer. Locked and loaded to run the VOT! Means I need to make sure I don't break anything at the FJ Summit a couple of weeks before.

Look at who I spotted in these pics. Nice to see a 5th gen out there with all the rovers.

I was going to try and make it by my schedule is pretty crazy at this point. Getting married on the 14th of September in Park City, big reception back in CT on the 28th and flying to FL in the 16th of Oct to be in my best man's wedding. I'll be pretty excited when the end of Oct comes and the money flying out the door ends. Then I can get back to working on the runner.

Good eye! The event was awesome. 4runner did pretty well considering I wasn't running mud terrains!

[MENTION=42717]Jonesey[/MENTION]y - that looked like a totally awesome run.

And ewww - a trailside differential rebuild on a Range/Land Rover product. The misery.

I love idea of using beer as a bead sealant though - genius. But if the bead is leaking, how will you find that particular bubble?
