But yeah this kinda stuff sucks, we have new regulations popping up every week in Australia trying to screw 4x4ers over. They even tried to ban bullbars recently hahahahahahahaha. We all faught back signed patitions ect and won the battle to keep em though.

Just do what we do, group up in massive numbers and hit the tracks. They cant fight all of ya and will eventually give up.

Security in numbers! they will have to listen.....

The problem is we are trying to open MORE land. There is plenty of room for trails but it's all private property or parks, and people will just go trespassing whenever they feel like. It gives legitimate and mature enthusiasts a bad name when all you see on the news is a bunch of tire tracks through somebody's backyard. We need legal places to wheel. Right now there is only one in the whole state and it has a good chance of being shut down due to overuse. Gee, I wonder why it's being used so much? Oh yeah, it's the only place to go within a 3 or 4 hour drive.

You are right about strength in numbers but we want to "win" by having lawmakers and the Department of Natural Resources on our side. We can't do that by knocking down gates and trespassing.

Same problem over here.. Ecologists are shutting down off road parks too and they cut the tires of our 4x4's apart. -.-

I would think so but I sent it off. I can try to find it haha. Basically it just said:

Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension uses these off road parks to sponsor and host events that bring jobs, and commerce to the city and state that we come into. Such as Top Truck Challenge is small town Hollister, California.

Along those lines haha.

The summary is good enough...I think it is important to show them it's not only private citizens that support this, but businesses too. Thanks again for sending it.

Top Truck Challenge is awesome, by the way. I've got the last 3 or 4 year's events on DVD. 2010's double disc case was a disaster though, it is so flimsy and it broke apart in the mail and my discs were scratched all over, but still playable. There is a guy who is trying to get in the competition that I see every year at the York PA jeep show, his jeep has "dial 911" written on the hood. Very cool suspension setup and an awesome rig. His shifters are made of wrenches.

only problem is that you wont be able to get the lawmakers on your side unless it will benifit them directly.

A long fight will be in front of you with a painfull loss.

Try bribing them, the twisted wheels of the governing society only get greasd with the green. i think this applies world wide.
