I'm not sure if I'll be doing a trail run before since Bree works part time on the weekend. But, if anyone else wants to, go for it.

[Shinobi]

Should we come up with a them this year? Not sure what you guys have been doing for lights? I s was going to bring my trailer with my Honda 1000i generator I have 2 of them so if somebody needs to borrow one for this event you have to ask nice...

I'll tow one, we can light up a stripper pole in one trailer, and have a mini bar with a blender in the other. :idea:

Good Idea...but I mento to say I have 2 1000i generator the other trailer is still raw parts..:D

[72 Virginians]

I think the theme we've been running with the past 2 years is a sh!tload of lights. But, something a little structured would be cool.

If you're bringing a trailer, maybe a big inflatable something would be cool. Dave did that in 2006 with his CJ6.

I was think maybe a Santa in the trailer and rain deer above the jeep. Like they are taking off...

[Shinobi]

we were thinking about putting Christmas penguins we got last year on the roof :) and a bunch of lights

That's cool.
We'll probably be using the motion Santa again.

[CRNCNN]

My wife and I may be in. I will try to get my fellow VXers in on it too. What is the Trail you do first, Jumbo?

[89jeepcpl]

I have a 12' flatbed trailer, we could make like a float with a reno 4X4

theam

Good idea! What could we do? Any thoughts?

[89jeepcpl]

What about a Tread lightly theam, my kids have a couple of those walmart

Jeeps they used to ride in, put some dirt and rocks on the trailer and stage

the little jeeps accordingly, make some signs, Rubicon trail ahead, Fordyce

Is there a way to get fliers or anything else from Tread Lightly, BRC, etc?
We could pass those out along with the usual candy.

[89jeepcpl]

Im sure there is. I'll look on the internet. for a small amount of denario we could have some made with a RENO 4X4 title & info on tread lightly, might
just recruit some new people to THRILL CRAFT support. :squint:

[david]

i think we are down for this event. maybe decorate a tree in the back of the truck:thumbsup:

[david]

i may have a spare inverter for some one to use for lights i have two dont know if i will use both

[silver94zj4.0]

thats awesome im in!

[RARECJ8]

this is a great annual run and we always get a room in VC for the night-- last couple years we usually all head over there for a party, food, etc. after the parade. Remember, the parade starts right after dark, hence the parade of lights. A nice trailer float might be fun, but the parade route takes like 20 minutes to run thu and lots of people right along side the street. We just use a power source to two inverters that power a pile of christmas lights draped everywhere. Trailers are a nice addition like cj6dave has done. Once ur thru the short town run, ya gotta disassemble the mess-- ugh, knotted lights...

anyway, great event, but justin, is there a rig count limit? might find out. I'll surrender my parade place to another member that might want to be a part-- its a real kick especially tossing candy top the kids. then the after party at the union brewery...

I think 20 is the limit and we've never maxed out before.

[Suckerpunch]

I will do this for sure! all kinds of ideas....:D

[zeebo]

oh yeah all try to have the cj running and decorate it with the family. this sounds like so much fun.

[Dave's 70 CJ6]

We are in with at least one rig, maybe two. Let's hope for better weather. Last year the wind pretty much shredded our Snoopy! Dave, Barbara, Tom and Daniel

[Dave's 70 CJ6]

72 Virginians, Here is the picture of the antlers I was telling you about:

I like it. :thumbsup:
We need 7 more rigs.

Note for everyone else:
The antlers are made from PVC. :thumbsup:

[4x4nvcowboy]

I will plan to be up there! I 'll bring the Zuk.

[Dave's 70 CJ6]

Here is a picture of their whole group:

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z83/usernamerainey/8jeepsandsled.jpg

[Dave's 70 CJ6]

They must have run a piece of PVC pipe all the way across the front of the luggage rack and then put the antlers up from that with elbows? We were thinking of strip tying ours to the mirrors or something. I'm sure we can figure something out!

[flighht2k5]

I want to go but I dont have a generator

[72 Virginians]

I want to go but I dont have a generator

A power inverter will be fine. That's what I use.

[72 Virginians]

Here is a picture of their whole group:

That's very cool.

Who else wants to be a reindeer?

[Suckerpunch]

That's very cool.

Who else wants to be a reindeer?

i will :wave:

[89jeepcpl]

Pick me, pick me, pick me.

[72 Virginians]

That's 4. Need 5 more. :thumbsup:

[flighht2k5]

My truck is 24 volt and it doesnt have a cig lighter:mad:

[72 Virginians]

I run mine straight from the battery.

[flighht2k5]

I run mine straight from the battery.

Thats an idea. Is there special lights that I need to get?

[72 Virginians]

Thats an idea. Is there special lights that I need to get?

No, just regular old lights from Wally World.

[Denis]

Need to figure out how to decorate the Titan and I'll be there. :D

[Air Sierra]

I will...but I might tower over the other rigs.....

[72 Virginians]

Ok, here's the tentative plan:
I won't be participating in a pre parade trail run this year but, I'll be in VC early to help decorate.
The parade organizers wants up at the 4th Ward School by 4PM. I'll be in VC no later than 2 to help decorate. Meet me on D Street behind the Bucket of Blood.
I would like to have at least 9 "reindeer" and 1 "Santa"

A couple of you mentioned bringing trailers. The offroad style trailers could use some of the animatronic dispalys they sell at Wal Mart and Micheals.

I would also like to have someone with a flat bed to do a Reno4x4 float. The theme should be Tread Lightly, Keep Public Lands Open to The Public, or something of that sort.

I'll make the limit at 20 rigs (I think the VW group had more than that last year)

Anyway, add your name to a spot on the list if you are positive you are participating:

Reindeer-72 Virginians
Reindeer-Dave's 70 CJ6
Reindeer-Suckerpunch
Reindeer-89jeepcpl

Not sure if we will be town though now cause shes having issues with here military seperation at the moment. >.< F**** anyways i was thinking of lighting of the truck and getting her a sexy santa suit thingy and have her tossing candy or somthing and blasting some christmas music from the cab and burning some rubber smoke. Maybe paint the tireds red and green for some smoke colors and getting some underglows and reving my hemi for some good quality noise, the kind that makes me feel all big and powerful. to help me feel good about my small :censor: and yea.... ummm ima shut up now.

[leifnv]

To be safe, I would put her in between 2 of our rigs. :thumbsup:

[kittenb]

[4x4nvcowboy]

[Roach.]

Yep. I didn't get an entry form in the mail so, I'll have to fax it to the chamber.

[UrbnKrwlr]

i MAY be bringing a flatbed tow truck up for the parade, with a few inflatables and a tree and stuff on it.

[RARECJ8]

RareCJ8 - KEZDZZ? come on guys!

i have enjoyed this worthy gig for several years and its only fair to let others get in on the deal and, besides, we're out of town that day so i can't go either way...

Here can you get LED xmas lights that run on batteries

[Shinobi]

man this is coming up soon :D humm what to do ...I guess we can be the other reindeer but can we still have penguins on top of the jeep?

[PapasXJ]

Do you still need a Santa rig? I have a Dodge 3500 dually and an inverter (generator too).

[Suckerpunch]

guys I may be called out of town this weekend on short notice. I'm supposed to be a reindeer. can anyone be my back up If i have to leave? Ill know if I'm going tomorrow for sure.

[4x4nvcowboy]

ok, i can make it . i work till 3pm. then i can head up the hill.
No reindeer antlers for me, no time to make them. just throw some lights on my jeep.

[kittenb]

ok I need info on how to make the antlers ASAP. Since I cant work power tools right now. I might be able to convince the guys at home depot to do it for me if I have the measurements.

[72 Virginians]

OK, new plan. If you don't have time to make the antlers, just decorate your rig with lights. I just need a list of who is definitly participating by tomorrow night. :thumbsup:

[Suckerpunch]

hey guys im really sorry but im out. Im driving to Oregon early Wed. morning and not returning till Late Sat. night.

:(

[4-Lo]

I might go up to watch, don't have any time Friday or Saturday to do any lights :(

[Ride 4 Life]

I might go up to watch, don't have any time Friday or Saturday to do any lights :(

idk if i can go joe?

[kittenb]

ok cool I will figure out what to do with some lights & be there with the kids. Hey Jeff......... you still riding up? I know you said you might have to work. How about Amanda ?

[NevadaXJ]

Just talked to my wife, looks like we are in. I'll have my XJ and trailer. The kids (nieces) want to be in the trailer with lights.

[Shinobi]

we are :thumbsup: just don't know how to make antlers ...

[Roach.]

we are :thumbsup: just don't know how to make antlers ...

x2, and if you make me some antlers ill give you that antenna :D

[Dave's 70 CJ6]

Raineys are still in, and we're still going to try to do antlers. Instead of bringing the food up to VC we are inviting parade goers down to our place after the parade. We can take Old Toll down from the Highlands mailboxes to our place in the Foothills. Off-Road most of the way!

[Shinobi]

x2, and if you make me some antlers ill give you that antenna :D

humm i will try to fab something :thumbsup:

[72 Virginians]

I haven't seen an entry form yet (I usually have those mailed to me). And I keep calling the number w/o an answer or machine. Anyone know of another way I can get a hold of the VC COC to make sure we get into the parade?

[NevadaXJ]

Walmart has 400 count boxes of clear lights for $10. i picked up 3 boxes.

[72 Virginians]

Revised plan:
If you want to be in the parade, be at the 4th Ward school no later that 4 to decorate your rig. A $5-$10 donation per vehicle would be appreciated (It pays for the VC COC to put on the parade). No more than 20 rigs please. If you're going to be in the parade, quote this post and add your name. Thank you. :thumbsup:

Just look for these guys!!!!

David walks the parade and hands them out to the littlest kids along the parade route. (You have to be kind of stealth-like, or the big kids mob you.)

Seriously, come into Virginia City from the Geiger Grade, and go all the way through town on C Street (the main drag, heading south), and just before you head out of town, at the top of the hill on the left, is the old 4th Ward School. It is a tall red building. All of the parade participants start from there. It's pretty much a Chinese fire drill, but that's part of the fun. It's going to be cold, but at least the WIND doesn't look like it will be blowing like last year!

The parade just takes a few minutes to go back down C Street northbound, and then we bail off to the right, down the hill to the new Ramada Hotel parking lot to take off our decorations under the parking lot lights. Anybody that wants to can go back up into town and hit the bars (not recommended since we all have to get back down the hill safely), or we've invited parade-goers back to our place at the base of Geiger Grade to warm up and get something to eat. We can either come straight down Geiger Grade, or take old Toll Road (dirt) down the hill from the Highlands mailboxes. We live pretty much at the bottom of the hill.

Totally flexible, whatever works, right? It's time for a little Reno4x4 Christmas spirit! We hope to see lots of you in VC this Saturday. Get there by 4 if you want to be in the parade, 3:30 is better if you overdo the decorations like we tend to do.

See you then!

Nice job! They will look GREAT at night going down the street ! :clever: (Are they rated to 70 mph? That would really be something!) We are building ours tonight. How long did it take you, once you figured out what you wanted?

sorry Shinobi and Roach were here getting them set up. Then dinner!

It takes me about 20 min to build a set. I made my first set out of 1/2" and it was to flimsy but I got the design and size down with that one in about an hour.

Sounds like a nice evening! We have one side done; it took us about two hours to agree on a design and get it put together. (20 guy minutes=120 husband-and-wife 'working together' minutes!) We're going to build a mirror set in the morning. We need a few more 45 angles from Homer.

David stopped at Marty's on the way home and they welded a couple of brackets to bolt through the exisiting holes on the sides of the windshield where the hinge brackets go for the doors to the soft top. Our antlers will come off of those brackets.

Did you wrap yours in lights yet? If so, did you tape them on or use strip ties?

I dont know how they are going to do theirs. One of my daughters has the flu so if she is not feeling better we wont be going but I was thinking wrap the lights around and backit up with zip ties where needed..... I hope we get to go!:dunno:

Revised plan:
If you want to be in the parade, be at the 4th Ward school no later that 4 to decorate your rig. A $5-$10 donation per vehicle would be appreciated (It pays for the VC COC to put on the parade). No more than 20 rigs please. If you're going to be in the parade, quote this post and add your name. Thank you.

We will meet you guys up there, but anyone who wants to follow us down to our place at the base of Geiger Grade after the parade is welcome to do so. We have lots of food and parking! It would be fun to come down the old dirt Toll Road from the Highlands mailboxes. We can talk about it at the parade.

See you soon!

I'll have Duke and Elsa with us. Will that be a problem?

OK, I'm feigning ignorance here -- Are they dogs are kids, or one of each? Either way it's not a problem. Daniel has lots of legos and video games. If they are dogs that probably won't mean much...

[Shinobi]

lol there dogs ... we will be bringing two wiener dogs :thumbsup:

[NevadaXJ]

I'm still in, not set up to be a reindeer though. I do have plenty of lights, though.

Won't be able to attend the gathering after.

[Dave's 70 CJ6]

We only have big dogs (horses) at this point, but our place is very dog friendly. We don't mind them in the house, and we have a dog yard with small mesh wire.

Whewww I am home now. First I want to say Thank You To Jason & Chris ( i hope thats right ) and the other guy ( Sorry I didnt get your name, but your mom likes rocks!:D ) that was under my truck!!!!!!!!!!! :urock: I got to 7-11 and it was measuring in the ok range! Thank you thank you thank you!

Ok now the parade, Everyone's rigs looked Great! I will get my pics soon. It was fun and the people were so nice. We did run out of candy early. Note to all who go next year, get a HUGE bag.

I had Jason in front of me 4x4nvcowboy. He got stopped at the MC stand and was asked to introduce us. He did great! Talked about cleaning up our land and all! :thumbsup:
It was nice to meet more of you. Wish I could have headed to Dave & Barb's afterwards and a big thanks to them for the invite. I just wanted to get the truck home. And lock myself away from the kids.

Again it was a great time!

Us too! That was so much fun!!! GREAT weather this year made for an extra special time.

This year with the reindeer theme we downloaded THIRTEEN different versions of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to play over the boom box (see the photo above of the 6 and you can see it on the hood). We had Gene Autry, Dolly Parton, John Denver, Burl Ives, George Strait, etc. Made listening to the same song that many times in a row bearable!

After the parade about half the group went down Geiger Grade, and the other half went 4x4 down old Toll Road. Most everyone wound up at our house for a bite to eat and some good conversation. Thanks for everyone who stopped by; it was great to put faces to some of you we haven't met before.

Kitten B, glad to hear you made it home safe. You were in good hands all the way. And the kids WILL grow up some day!!!

Here are a few photos and a video:

The back of the 6 after we just finished decorating:

All these guys!

It's the built-in flash in my Olympus E-500 DSLR, it does pretty well.

We were right in front of Delta, on the left as the parade moved.

Great Pics! I havent had a chance to get mine off.
Again thanks to the guys that helped with the truck. I had it at IVM today and they replaced the gasket. It was in pieces with chunks missing :sick:
