Brand New Ky Offroad Club

Ok ladies and gentleman. Here it is, Kentuckys newest offroad club is here. It has been in the making for a few months now and finally we got everything we needed together to do it. Here is a little background:

It all started as a few friends in the lexington, ky area wanted to go offroading every now and then but also wanted to form some kind of club while doing it. There were already a bunch of KY jeep clubs around but we wanted our own. We were a bunch of college guys who wanted to have an organized and fun club to ride in who doesnt care about what kind of rig you have as long as it has four wheel drive and you can drive smart.

Now since we are not a "Jeep Only" club here on JF we must ask that if you post of start a thread it must be only jeep related. About 90% of the guys wanting to join the club are Jeep owners and are members of JF themselves so thats why we wanted to start a club section on here since so many of our future members are JF'ers.

Now to the actual club.

The name of the club is called:
T.O.R.C. Offroad

It stands for Twisted Off Road Club. We are based out of Kentucky are not limited to wheelin in Kentucky only. Hopefully as the club grows we can start wheelin in some of the bordering states as well as out west. Even though we do have some of the best wheelin this side of the Mississippi :D:D

We are still in the process of creating a club logo and website, but since our logo is for our club we would like to have the main picture a few jeeps from the club so at our next ride at Hillz N Hollarz on Feb 7th/8th (See Sig) we are going to take pictures and see what kind of club logo we can come up with. We have alot of good ideas now and the logo should be done right after the wheeling trip and hopefully by our first club meeting.

The website is:
www.torcoffroad.com

Is it currently under construction, but will be up within a few months after we get members rigs and all the official forms online that need to be. If anyone has the ability to make websites/forums please PM me so we can try and get something going.

Currently we open for ideas for when and where meetings will be held. We have many potential members in the Lexington area as well as alot of potential members from the Northern Kentucky area. So I was trying to figure out where would be the middle? Its about an hour from NKY to Lexington so cut that in half and we need to figure out what is about half hour away I guess. This is the only way because I know that many members from the NKY area cant drive an hour each way once a month and the same goes for people from Lexington. Again nothing is set in stone so please post up your concerns and ideas. Im open to anything.

As of right now there are currently only two officers. Me and Spyder6 (Will). I am currently the President/Secretary and Will is the Vice President/Treasurer. We hope to elect new officers at the 2nd meeting that way we can get a good group to show up and show interest.

As for the time and dates of the meetings we still need YOU, those who are interested in joining posting up what days and times you are free. I figure we will meet at a restaurant of some sort, get some food and just hang out and then after we have all gotten some grub hold the meetings. This way we all can get to know each other and when new potential members show up they are welcomed in and not made to sit and listen to club things right away.

I will be posting up applications and information as I get it officially done and then the by laws and rules and other paper work such as that will be given out at meetings and posted on our website when it comes up.

I hope we have alot of people interested and please post in here. Im excited about getting this up and running and hopefully we can become one of Kentuckys finest and most mature and responsible off road organizations. Thanks and have a great day!

I don't know much about wranglers but it really just depends on what you want to do with your Jeep. What size tires you want and just how serious you want to be with it. Lift kits are really not all that hard to do...good kits come with good instructions. I put a Rubicon Express lift kit on my XJ when I was in high school. It took my and my buddy two days but we didn't know what the hell we were doing. And it's a great way to learn about your Jeep.

You may want to look around the TJ section of the forum for ideas and pictures to see what you are dealing with.

Hope this helps :cheers2:
what he said^^^^
is pewee valley near the 'Ville?
Am I the only one in southern ky, the only one on here I know somewhat close is bigdumbbear and he's in Etown
Pewee Valley is Oldham County right next to Louisville

As for a lift on my Jeep, I'd rather pay to have it done as I'm mechanically challenged. I also don't have the tools or a garage even if I could do the job. I guess my question is if you know a reputable person/place near Louisville that could do this for me let me know.

Yeah, I don't count for much though, cuz I can't even got my jeep to run right. It's the biggest mystery I've ever faced. Anybody got a good 304 I can borrow for a week or so to see if the engine is the problem? I've replaced everything feasable except the camshaft.... twice on many things. lol
Oh, and I'm def. out for this sunday. I have to work 12 hours.
Just call in sick, I know ya wanna meet some fellow Jeepers haha Just kidding, there will be more meetings and monthly rides that you are welcome to join. We will meet one day.

Come on down. It's not much but it's a place to pass out after a long day on the water :cheers:

I wish we had more land so I could make some trails on it. I was down there last weekend checking on the place and there is a ton of development, and some sweet looking logging trails...but of course I didn't go off the main road.
