2020 texas unlimited offroad show

[Lanlubber In Remembrance]

The show is at a better venue but there were less vendors. There was like 1 roof top tent that looked awful and the bd diesel and leer trucks were the only ones that looked overlandy . I was definately the only overlander in the show and shine (of course we lost).

Show sounds like it was a flop !

Everyone has their own taste, and regardless, they put time into the vehicle so I can respect that. But i will always smile when I see a bro truck not make an obstacle, or break trying it.

Beleive me i had to stop myself from falling over laughing

I guess you can say that, every year it seems it get smaller. Vendos were packing up and leaving early on the first day so that probably aint a good sign. The obstacle course was fun for what it is. I got alot of ooohs and ahhs when i bottomed out on my transfer case skidplate.

I just remembered, one of the biggest let downs of the show was this year they didnt have the portable dyno which was one of the main reasons i wanted to go. I know im putting down more than the stock 180hp figures, im guessing atleast a 190hp or more calculated from my butt dyno. Oh well maybe next year probably not though.

It is sad to see events slowly diminish in quality/what they have. Makes me fearful that over time they may no longer exist. At least not the local ones.

Thats why i attend every one i can locally which is only like 3 in the dfw area. They are definately getting smaller and less people attending. Yep it sucks but texas isnt really known for awesome offroading areas so i kind of understand why its dying.

The next upcoming show is rednecks with paychecks march 19-22. I know its certainly not for everyone on here. Im a redneck though so i love it.

Then the last show in the dfw area will be the 4wp truck and jeep fest from may 16-17 they usually have quite a few overlanding related stuff going on and it is free.

RWP probably wouldn’t be the weekend trip the wife wants for our anniversary...

Yeah rwp just depends on if i feel like drinking moonshine, getting into fist fights and being muddy head to toe, it gets pretty rowdy and someone usually dies at the event.

Yep. I never went, but it was always really popular with everyone when I dipped into the local mud racing crowd for a brief while decades ago. They say it’s one hell of a party though. Lol
