Just wanted to drop an update.

The Invasion will be July 15th at the KOA in Ouray. The new management is very approving of our event and have turned out to be helpful and just downright great folks to work with. If you are booking with the KOA for the event indicate that you are will the Full Size Jeep Invasion. We have arranged discounts on everything but lodging and booze at the KOA. Participants will receive a special wristband that will indicate you are to receive said discounts.

We are still working on the offical schedule but we will be having an official show and shine, shining not required. During which votes will be cast for various awards. Primary group photo taken while parked for the show. Afternoon and evening will have the raffle, pot-luck, awards ceremony and bon-fire.

Still working out the details but Saturday or Sunday hoping to arrange a group photo on US550 in Ouray like the Toyota guys do.

For insurance and other legal reasons there will be no official trail rides as part of the actual event. Many of us will be there all week and will be setting up for the event as well as disorganized and un-official trailrides just like we always do.

Cost
We are still working out the details on cost and how ticketing will be done. Unfortunately this will not be a free event, however you will get a lot for the cost. A T shirt, sticker, vehicle flag, pot-luck ticket, raffle ticket will be included. Tickets will be done per vehicle with separate tickets for spouses and kids etc. Since several of us will be bringing multiple Jeeps we will be offering a discount for multiple Jeeps.

We will be putting out a volunteer list so keep your eyes peeled.

Lastly, we are not aiming to profit in any way from this event. This event is aimed at getting as many FSJ's as possible and their owners together. ALL proceeds will be donated directly to Ouray Mountain Rescue.

I'm in for a T-shirt or two even if I don't make the run. And unfortunately that will probably be the case since Herculies is still dangling in the air with no front feet and I have another project vehicle to get on the road before I get back to him.

Are these threads going to be kept up-to-date? Is this still on? I don't want to have to check the Faceberg since I don't do that... I will bring a Jeep if I have to tow it. If it doesn't run, and if nothing else-- you can watch me push it off a cliff somewhere.

Oh man I just don't get on here all that often recently. Life is just getting in the way. I was really hoping to get to Ouray for this event. It just won't be in the cards this year. we made it a couple years back and it was awesome.

On a related Invasion note... anyone remember Jerry's Cherokee Camper he built? Well my brother acquired it many years ago. Once he and I built the Fulltime 4wd Winnebago, he hasn't used that camper. It will be coming out to AZ in the next couple weeks to get cleaned up to be put for sale. How cool would it be to have some FSJ Junkie get it and drag it up to CO for the 20th anniversary? Anyway, it just seems like where Jerry's creation should be. I'll post it up in the Classified Adds once I get it out here.

Kristen, Cayden, Ryan and I (Kevin) wish you all a safe and awesome event!

We don't discriminate what folks bring on the trail runs. ;)

Do we need to make reservations or buy a ticket or anything? Also, on trail runs, what type of radios do you guys use (CB, FSR/GMRS, race radios)?
