17th Annual (2012) / Re: We need something NEW !
« on: October 07, 2011, 01:05:12 pm »
Spectator participation is good. And also gives people something to watch. How about some wheeling related competitions:
Spare tire change. (speed, no damage)
U- joint change. (speed, no damage)
Recovery rigging (speed and saftey)
Rusted part replacement.
Sinple carburator (Carter YF) teardown and rebuild (if anyone knows what that is).
Some sort of Trail repairs with limited tools.

Rick has set forth the challenge, who is going to to step up with Adam to meet it?
In the event that the club has an oppertunity to do a presentation. How about some topic ideas?
PAohv had two break-out sessions scheduled covering Trail building and the economic impact of motorized recreation.
Here's what pops into my mind:
There is a big push to get families outdoors. Get kids off the couch and into the wild. PA Parks, State Forests and organized 4 wheeling all go hand-in-hand. That could make for one good angle. Finding critters, different forests, campfire & fellowship, stewardship and survival & preparedness.
A second thought would be organized versus renagade / illegal 4 wheeling. Describing what's the difference.

Looking at the registration material and schedule it is definitely geared toward hiking and biking. HOWEVER, there is one breakout presentation specifically about off-highway vehicle trail building and another specifically on the economic impact of off-highway vehicle recreation.
So, given that these are official sessions concerning OHV, that means that there is a presence that will grow with participation. Just showing up counts as a number.
Who is available to attend and represent 4WD?
The registration is for a three days or by the day.
Can the board approve reimbursement for folks that will represent the cub?

National Issues / “Opportunities for Outdoor Recreation on Public Lands.” hearing - June 22
« on: June 23, 2011, 09:55:56 pm »
From an ARRA email alert:
"Yesterday, June 22nd the House Committee on Natural Resources, Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands held a hearing titled “Opportunities for Outdoor Recreation on Public Lands.” The focus of the hearing was on access to federal lands for recreational use and the economic benefits of recreational activity on federal lands.
OHV leaders from several ARRA partners testified about the economic benefit of motorized recreation, while others focused on specific access issues. Testimony was provided on H.R. 1581, which would release all Wilderness Study Areas and Inventoried Roadless Areas that have been deemed not suitable for wilderness designation for management for multiple-use, and on the closure of the Clear Creek Management Area in California. A full witness list and the written testimony for each witness can be read here. An archived webcast of the hearing can be viewed here.
ARRA would like to thank Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) and the Subcommittee for holding this important hearing, which showcased many of the positive benefits of OHV recreation on public lands, particularly the positive economic impact that motorized recreation can have on neighboring communities. Dick Lepley, who testified on behalf of the Pennsylvania Off-Highway Vehicle Association, summed up one of the major themes of the hearing when he said, “If I could deliver just one message today it would be that OHV opportunities equal jobs. Where trail systems exist, the powersports industry and dealerships thrive, and local communities flourish.” "

Regional Issues / DCNR investigating illegal off-road vehicles using trails at Susquehannock State
« on: June 22, 2011, 11:16:12 pm »
The article is unclear as to what kind of illegal off-road activity, but it is still bad press.
From DCNR's Resource:
DCNR investigating illegal off-road vehicles using trails at Susquehannock State Park
DCNR is investigating illegal activities that have been occurring in a section of Susquehannock State Park this summer. The areas targeted for investigation and enforcement are the McCall and Urey tracts of the former Glatfelter Pulp Wood properties located near PA Route 425 (Furnace Road) in Chanceford and Lower Chanceford townships, York County. DCNR's Bureau of State Parks manages these lands as part of Susquehannock State Park in Lancaster County.
“We have received several complaints this season regarding illegal off-road vehicle use on these lands, and our on-the-ground observations confirms that this activity is occurring” said Park Manager Andy St. John.
Currently these tracts are undeveloped and are available for hiking, wildlife watching and hunting. Bureau of State Park law enforcement rangers will be patrolling these areas educating the public on DCNR rules and regulations.
The two tracts have a total area of 235 acres, with the Urey tract lying north of PA Route 425 and the McCall tract situated between Rt. 425, Mill Road and Kline Road. This portion of the park is undeveloped so there are no facilities available for the public, and future development is in the early planning stages.

This same calendar has a picture of a brochure indicating the M606 was a CJ-3B "Modified" and what those modification are. So, the M606 would have been developed from the CJ-3B.

National Issues / Wilderness and Roadless Area Release Act of 2011 - HR 1581
« on: May 12, 2011, 07:35:59 am »
In summary, HR 1581 will release for public use all the lands that are still tied up even though the wilderness studies determined they were unfit for wilderness status. Here's more details from ARRA's website:
"Legislation to Expand Multiple Use Access to Public Lands Introduced
22 Members Have Already Cosponsored H.R. 1581 – We Need Your Help to Enlist More!
Before leaving for Easter break, U.S. Representative and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) formally introduced H.R. 1581, the “Wilderness and Roadless Area Release Act of 2011.” Earlier this month ARRA asked you to send an email urging your Representative to sign on as an original cosponsor to this legislation prior to introduction. 21 Members of Congress, including National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands Subcommittee Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) and Western Caucus Chairman Steve Pearce (R-NM) are currently listed as cosponsors.
Now that the bill has been introduced, it is time to reach out to your Representative again to urge them to sign on!
As you will recall, this very important draft bill would release all Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) and Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs) that have been recommended or evaluated as not suitable for wilderness by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or the U.S. Forest Service from restrictive management practices and direct that they be managed for multiple use, including recreation.
As is stands, the BLM currently manages nearly 7 million acres of WSAs as de facto wilderness despite the fact the BLM itself has already determined these areas as not suitable for wilderness designation by Congress. The situation with the Forest Service is even worse, as access is restricted to over 36 million acres of IRAs that have been deemed unsuitable for ultimate designation as wilderness. Current law and regulation dictates that these lands must be managed to protect wilderness characteristics. H.R. 1581 would release these areas from restrictive management and require the agencies to ensure increased access."

I think the M170/M171 developed out of the CJ-6.
There is a military version of the Commando (comes to the show) that was probably a derivative of the civilian.
The 3 cyl diesel FC 4 door van would have been a derivative of the civilian FC's.
There is also the ambulance version of the M715.

The Maverick Edition was the station wagon. My Classic Jeep calender has it highlighted for May with pictures of Garner looking under the hood of one. According to the write-up, Willy sponsored the show. I read elsewhere the Maverick edition was only available on 2wd's. I'd have to double check that.
DRW was also an option on the FC170.
DRW may have been an option on the CJ-5 / CJ-6 when equipped trencher or backhoe.
