Recently I have talked to a couple in this area that are interested in a meet and greet with others.
A one time event is fine however if there is further interest, I personally would not mind if we made it a monthly event, keeping it simple by scheduling a regular day, time and location.
My initial thoughts are meeting in the Pineville or Ballantyne area or somewhere along the lower section of 485 for easy access. If anyone is interested please chime in.
I'm new to the Jeep world! I've always had trucks and bikes but always wanted a Jeep. Talked the wife into it and a few weeks ago got my 06 TJ. But to answer the question I'd be interested in doing a get together.
Haha it sure is an addiction. I'm constantly looking at upgrades for my Jeep. The big trick here is how to convince my wife how they are beneficial. My wife is a very smart women so not an easy task.
I agree I love to get a group together to go up to URE. I understand from the locals in blowing rock that Richland Road as some pretty significant challenges if you don't have the proper gear.
Yea I don't know much about it but have a friend wanting to check it out. I have zero off road experience so I'm not looking to do anything crazy. Brown mountain looks like a nice place to try based on you tube videos
I have had very little. I will be back in Blowing Rock the weekend of the 15th. I may ride to Richland Road just to check it out. There is a government site that list logging roads that I want to check out. I will share when I find it.
The only off-road experience I really have is 4wheeling but as for my Jeep I've only had it for 2 weeks as of today. I'm really interested in it though.
Between two of the forums there seems to be a few with some interest in a meet up. I am going to throw up a couple of options for time/date and place that works for me. It may be hard to accommodate everyone so give me your preferences and I will choose the one that best fits most.
Please feel free to invite others. At this point I am going on the assumption that there will be 2-10 of us and looking at meeting in close proximity of 77 and 485. If it expands beyond that there may need to be a change in venue. Will cross that bridge if it happens.
Your suggestions are welcome!

Are you on JeepForum as well? I am on there as well but people seem friendlier on here. As for me weekends work better for me. I'm normally working long days during the week. Any place works for me.
I am on this one and the JK forum. I have heard that same comment before about the Jeep forum. Although I am not a member of that form I will occasionally slide over there and read some threads.
I understand there are some others as well including a local one but they're not as active. Being a member on two forms is enough for me.
Oh ok yeah when I was looking to buy I was close to buying a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I went with the 06 X because it actually has less mileage and was cheaper. When my wife and I have kids down the road I'll probably upgrade to a 4 door Jeep Wrangler!
Yeah get an older 2 door and build it strictly for off-road and use the 4 door for everything else.
Did you enjoy the snow the other week? I was suppose to get my jeep before that but the place closed down early so I had to wait until Friday unfortunately. I was hoping to have some fun in it.
I just moved down here from up north last year so I've seen way more snow than that. Still fun to get out and use the 4x4!
I planed to clean out the garage so that I can mount my hard top hoist this Saturday however I could be persuaded to meet up for a ride to the event if anyone is interested.
Let’s set the official date for 2pm, March 22nd at the LongHorn Steakhouse in Pineville.
10605 Centrum Pkwy Pineville, NC 28134
Feel free to invite others that you know personally or on other forums. I have this posted on the JK and Wrangler Forums. I will do my best to reach out to others in the area as well.
Anytime man...Let me know if you go to the event. I'm planning on going, it'd be nice to meet some Jeep people and learn some things well checking out other Jeeps.
I am in mooresville and am in a group that is fairly active. It's not jeep specific though. We just got back from the gulches. You guys are welcome to join us on any trail rides.

I love in Ballantyne at the moment but moving to Monroe in the next week or so. I'd be interested in a meet as well. I might be starting a new job very soon so not sure what to expect yet as far as my availability.
I can't make it for a little while. Thanks for the picture! You wish I was there now..
