Texas FSJ Association

[Lindel]

Do we want our own little slice of the pie as a state, or as regions/chapters?

[GW Fisherman]

WooHoo. First vote 100% my way. Bet that's the last time I see that again. I hope I can make some of these get togethers sometime.

[j20brett]

The way i see it, we could have one big gathering a year, and the individual regions could have more depending on how many are invovled or want to participate.

[gmarblestone]

Agreed....

I thought Texas was a region in itself. :rolleyes:

Noooooooo, a country. ;)

Hi, I'm from Texas, what country y'all from?

[bchesley]

I voted for just the texas chapter or what ever you want to call it because in the past there has been a lack of participation. About 6 years ago we tried this and it never really got organized. Some one will have to take the ball and run with it......... I hope we do at least have a huge once a year event where we can all get together and check each others rigs out, shoot the bull, and maybe do so wheelin and camping......

[j20brett]

sooooo...shall we elect officers or at least someone to iron a plan out?

[gmarblestone]

Well.

i will volunteer to setup a website if we want...
we should get some contact information at least or if i setup a website we can "join" so we know how many people and where from in texas.

Keep in mind that TEXAS has the largest membership at the IFSJA. Several poles have been done over the years and TEXAS ALWAYS wins. It is also a fact that Texas recieved more FSJ production to dealerships than any other state.

Colorado has had a good club for a long time and started the Ouray invasion, no reason TEXAS can't do it on a BIGGER and BETTER scale.

[gmarblestone]

Ok,

Here is the fun part getting it going..
... I thnk we can setup a site just like ifjsa for like 10 a month. Would people be willing to pay like 10 dollars a year in hosting fees? Or does someone have a server they can host websites on (windows or linux).

Thanks,
Grant

[j20brett]

well thats not too much to ask...ill pitch in some for a site.

[FSJeeper]

Someone email Hammer, he hosts the M715 site and others.

[gmarblestone]

I sent email via here...

[Lindel]

I'll chip in. Might not be a bad idea to elect someone to point fingers at now and again. :rolleyes:

[j20brett]

ok so who wants to do the grunt work? plain and simple lol

[Lindel]

We'll need someone to at least run the website/board. I've never done that, other than to be a moderator on a few boards.

Might want to look at someone else to do coordination for big runs (sponsorship, etc).

Personally, I think contact info would be a good thing.

Any other ideas?

[xupe45tgp]

And what about us Oklahoma boys????

[gmarblestone]

I will be more than happy to do all the tech stuff. I program for a living so i have time and enough knowledge to do that.

I am NOT however a good coordinator, IMHO, nor do i know squat about trails available etc. So it would be good if someone more experienced could coordinate the dates/locations. Anyone gonna volunteer?

YOU CAN'T GET BIGGER THAN 13,000' MOUNTAIN TRAIL RIDE Brutha... :lol:

Seriously, y'all should giterdun with this. :thumbsup:

[texianjoe]

Count me in. And I would be willing to pay for the priviledge. I am not a teckie so I can't help there. But I would be willing to help coordinate some get togethers. We should get a core group together and meet up somewhere in centeral Texas.

ROTFLMAO! I figured I would get some serious flaming from you Colorado boys beings that I am from Colorado and went to college there. I know how Texans are regarded there well so figured that would start up a spirited conversation with the bigger and better thing here. LOL

For the record, Colorado is my favourite state in the union with no competition!

[Lindel]

Oklahoma members would be ok with me.

[texianjoe]

Oklahoma members would be ok with me.

How about considering a SouthCentral thing with Oklahoma and Louisiana. But only if they bring some boudin.

joe

[gmarblestone]

well i have contacted hammer about setting up a site... so we shall see what he says... if we can get it for FREE then cool, if not, then i will just set it up on a site we pay for.

Grant

[j20brett]

sweeet...its nice to see something get done!

[gmarblestone]

Just more information...
hammer has responded and might be able to hook us up. Cheap enough where i will pay the expenses for the website. We are in final negotiations and i hope to have something up soon.

Grant

[trailsforus]

HOSTILE TAKEOVER!

Count me in.:thumbsup:



-Dillon

[gmarblestone]

alrighty...
Looks like we are going to be hooked up by Hammer. He is going to set it up access for me and then i will set something up...

Grant

[j20brett]

cool deal. so who wants to organize the runs/dates/location? i wish i had the time/knew more about it otherwise id do it.

[firemanw8366]

I think that would be really cool. My son just got a 90 GW for his first car and he/we are ready to start on it. This sight has been very informative so far and we will be looking for parts and advice in the future I'm sure. BTW is there a good FSJ "recycling" yard in the DFW or East Texas area?
Thanks

[gmarblestone]

So, its "up". All i did was the logo...

[gmarblestone]

[j20brett]

[Lindel]

Heheh, I sense a little competition! :D (thanx for the compliment on behalf of the good folks in CFSJA)

I think it is really cool to see all the different regions/states that have set up clubs in the last several years.

FWIW, we try to do M&G events in Denver, Ft. Collins, and Co Spgs and trail runs west of each of those.

That's what I'ld like to see. M&G, some light drives like a BBQ run, some road rallys along with some wheeling so vehicles of all degrees of restoration and modification can participate.

joe

[gmarblestone]

What do you think of the logo?
http://www.tfsja.org/public_html/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/TFSJA_Logo.gif

[janie]

I'd dish out my milk money for a decal like that.:thumbsup:

[gmarblestone]

Yeah,
I might bring some to the first m&G.

How do we notify the 360 members that we have in texas? I think that there would be several that might want to get involved. It would be great to send a mass PM or something notifying everyone????? There are probably some that dont check here often???


Brad

[gmarblestone]

I have no clue on this one....

Maybe vBullitin has the ability and we can ask the admin for the list?

tis a good idea tho.

that decal is pretty freakin nice!

[gmarblestone]

Why thank you..
I bribed a graphic artist friend of mine to make it for me :)

He is amazing and fast.. that was revision 2.

Grant

that decal is pretty freakin nice!

[Lindel]

Nice decal, where do I get mine?

As soon as we decide when and where, I'll put the word out on all the mailing lists and groups. IFSJA, FSJN, 1FSJ, RRV, FSJ-list, FSJ Ownersclub, and probably some others I'm forgetting off the top of my head.

Plus, some phone calls to members that might not frequent any of the above.

[j20brett]

Sounds good Lindel. Thanks for volunteering!

[gump]

[Texas Gladiator]

SWEET DECAL!!!!!!!!! Let me know how i can get one. A Texas fsja sounds great. I'm definitely interested in work days and "hang out" days. I could use some info on rebuilding the th400, or lifting my '65. Count me in guys. Mario.

[gp_frk]

Bumping this back to the top cuz its been a while since it was brought up :fsj:

[ColeTrickle]

Gary, why dump this to the top? I'd rather see this thread die.:(

Reason, you ask? What else did you receive from this thread other than an invention of a "neat" sticker?

Surprise me...:cool:

[TexTJ209]

Its more like Texas' attic. We just store a bunch of old junk up there we're too lazy to throw away. :thumbsup:

[crazydog]

Do you know why Texas does not fall into the Gulf of Mexico?



Because Oklahoma sucks!!!

:lol:

[Sbonley]

I have been busy lately and just saw this info. Although there used to be a Texas Regional Chapter, The Red River Valley Chapter of the IFSJA, but the link is no longer good. I am glad to see a Texas Chapter back.
