Just curious, when was this forum formed/started and who are the "creators"? I noticed theres a lot of old posts and not a ton of new ones. Curiosity has the best of me I suppose.

John (coopdad) and myself started this whole thing back on January 31, 2010. I kinda compare it to a good relationship/marriage...fresh & exciting, given full attention/dedication at first and as time goes on you settle in and get comfortable, slowing down but still caring for it just the same. We've tried to ramp things up a bit lately (Thanks to Darrin (gray07)) with the group SUV build in memory of our GREAT friend Larry (Big Ed), but we've all slowed down on it for various reasons. Life does get in the way, but we're gonna get this done for Larry, that's how he built anyway...SLOW!!! I pretty much take care of the site now as John doesn't come around much anymore

Yeah I feel offroad modeling encompasses a small niche of people. It would be awesome to get this forum going with more people but I dont think many people do it either.

There is a little building lag here but it is still one of my favorite boards . I think everyone has a couple off road builds on their to do list , but not many build them exclusively . Also there is a definite lack of subject matter .I've found I get slowed down by always having to scratch build or search for specific parts .

I feel like im in the same boat with a build I want to do. Ive started another job so everything is put on hold for now. I got tomorrow off so I might work on it some more then. Also the cold weather here has kept me from being able to paint the bodies of the model since i cant paint inside. Looks like its supposed to warm up next week though.
