Hey all,

     I'm the new Arkansas Coordinator and I'm trying to get a good idea of who's in our wonderful state! So if you live in Arkansas, please reply to this message. When we get enough people I'll plan a Get-Together, probably in Little Rock since that is a central location.

     - Mike

Hey Mike:

Glad to see you stepped up to the plate.

Really looking forward to the big get together.  Have you thought about meeting in Hot Springs?  Everyone wants to take their 'lanch through the mountains.

-Done

[redavz66]

Just purchased my AV 2 weeks ago.  It is better than any truck I have ever owned. Hope a GTG comes soon.

[JAYHAWK]

Ready for GTG!

I don't live in AR but I might make the trip over from Western, TN to a GTG if you don't mind

[redavz66]

I see alot of Avs in Arkansas.  I see alot where I live in central Arkansas.  Has the club not been publicized around here?  I only found out about the club when I was searching for accessories.

Do alot of the people in Arkansas just look at the Av as a way to get to the "deer woods"?  I think the AV is the best truck ever made.  I wish I could afford some of the high $ mods on this site.  I would also love to have a 2500 motor in my 1500 model.

[mcrendog]

Hey redvaz66,

    Welcome to the site! I am the Arkansas Coordinator and I live in Fort Smith. Most people find this site by searching the internet, not by other forms of publicity. But we are not a very organized group in Arkansas. I have done some tagging here in Fort Smith but we need more people to spread the word about the site there in central arkansas. Start tagging Avs!  

    I have been thinking of having a Get-Together sometime in the early summer...probably in Central Arkansas. Hope you can make it!

[redavz66]

mcrendog

Good to hear your reply.  What are you tagging Avs with?  I will start.  Alot of Avs here, but I don't see many mods done to them.

[redavz66]

In the bottom of your Av desription I see a link with purdue.edu.  Did you go to Purdue University?

[mcrendog]

Yep...spent the last 8 years of my life there...just finishing my PhD now. Got any connections to Purdue?

I teach Engineering at the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith.

[redavz66]

Yes,

I graduated from Purdue in 1991.  BS Mechanical Engineering Technology.  I was in the co-operative education program for 4 years.

I was on the winning Rube Goldberg team in 1991.

My sister and Brother-in-law graduated with PhDs in Engineering as well.

[arkansas_avy]

Hello Everyone

I'm a bit new to the Avy lifestyle (I just traded off my trusty old white 97 z71 for a nice 02 z71 avy).   I miss the old white beast a lot, but boy does this avy ROCK!  I live in Northeast Arkansas, (Paragould/Jonesboro area) but i'm in Little Rock at least once a month.  Let me know of anything new that's happening, please.

[mcrendog]

Hey arkansas_avy,

    Welcome to the Club! I am glad you stopped by to post here. I am the Arkansas Coordinator and I hope that I'll get to meet you sometime at a get-together! We have had to GTGs (get-togethers) this year and we will have more in the future. Keep checking here for updates. There's also a lot going on in TN.

[Jethro]

Benton arkansas here look forward to a group get together.  Bought my 02 Avy two months ago from the local chevy dealer.  Drove by this morning and they must have 20 of them in the used lot.  I do see alot of Avy's around town could be a good sized get together

[rtcockrill]

Well, I don't own an Avy yet, but I am looking forward to getting one.  I believe I am going to purchase one towards May, after I get out of school.  I would like together with other Avy owner's.  Let me know when and where.  I live in Little Rock.

[mcrendog]

Welcome Jethro and rtcockrill!

    We have had two get-togethers so far this year. Perhaps we will have another one soon. I hope I get a chance to meet you both. There are quite a few members around the Little Rock area.

    rtcockrill, good luck with the Avy purchase! If you need any advice then just ask and we will all help!

[Z66 BUTCH]

We don't live in Arkansas but we did drive through yesterday. We stopped and tagged a couple around the collage at Fort Smith, anyone we know?

[mcrendog]

I SAW THAT! I wish I would have known that you were coming by! We could have done lunch or something! Talk about confused...I was like, hunh? But then I remembered that you were coming back from your west coast trip and probably came right through Fort Smith! That was the coolest tag ever!

[Z66 BUTCH]

THANKS! We did think it would be cool to tag you since you are a former Indiana Member. If I would have had a way to contact you I would have. We were in between lunch and dinner so we just moved on.

     Welcome to the club! Where are you in Arkansas? I hope you will stay active and involved in the club. This is really a great place. And I hope to meet you at an Arkansas get-together sometime. I'm not sure when our next one will be, but we have had several this year.

It was great meeting you when we were out there in June. Hope you are better now!

[Cisco04]

There are lots of AVs here in Little Rock AFB, do we have any members here on the Air Force Base  

Cisco04

[Jethro]

Maybe we should have a GTG at the air show its usually in early June at the airbase in Jacksonville.  We could all line up in downtown LR and form a convoy of sorts.  Think a line of Avs sitting on the Tarmac at the base would be coollooking.

[mcrendog]

That'sa good idea...let's keep this in mind...

[RodneySkip]

New Av owner in Arkansas Delta.   I am looking for OEM running Boards for 03 with cladding- anyone know where to look?

[smokinfish]

Thought I'd drop in and say HI went to highschool in little rock, college in fayetteville and have family and friends in both! So you may see my ambers blazing on holidays, hog games, floating the mulberry and shows at sticky fingers!!

GO HOGS!!

[JAYHAWK]

Got back from Mardi Gras on last Tuesday!  There is where we need to have a GtG. 

[olefin]

Hi, just wanted to say Hello.


Bought our first Chevy product to day,  other than a few years back purchased a new 32 ft motor home built on a Chevy chassis.

Had my eyes on the Avalanche ever since they came out. We'll be getting our new 05 Silver with Gray leather tomorrow.

See several here in Hot Springs.

 

[mcrendog]

Hey olefin!

     You are not the first member in Hot Springs. Wes is over there and I hope you get a chance to meet him. Welcome to the club, I hope to meet you someday.

[olefin]

mcrendog,


Thanks, for the welcome.

We get up to Fort Smith quite often, we have a farm between Greenwood and Booneville.

[ArkansasAv]

It is good to see this many Av owners from Arkansas.  It would be good to have everyone get together.   I teach in Little Rock and live in Jackosnville, north of the Air Base. 

[mcrendog]

Welcome Piratec!

[BIGDOGSONLY]

Hello Gentlemen, just purchased my av a month ago.

[JAYHAWK]

Welcome Bigdogsonly.  We need to cruise LR in a GtG very soon.

[RzrBack]

Greetings
great to have a coordinator in Arkansas!
I'm new to this site and unfortunately, driving a naked av, but just started doin' mod's with adrl's and K&N pkg.
Would be great to gtg with everyone, count me in.
RzrBack

[mcrendog]

Welcome RzrBack!

[yellowgt5]

I am new to the site. I just bought my AV Z71 about three weeks ago. I love it and have already been modding.

[mcrendog]

Welcome yellowgt5!

[TheBeast]

My family is all in the Russellville area. Would love to come to a GTG sometime. Beautiful country!! Keep me posted....Thanks,

[TexasTom]

I don't live in Arkansa but do visit on occasion. Three weeks ago, got on 23  west of Harrison, going south to I 40...UNBELIEVABLE !!  Would make a great GTG drive. Better than 7, if you can believe that..

[lpatrick]

Hey all, I am waiting on my 04 AV that I bought in NY city that is being shipped. It should be he by next weekend. I live in Hot Springs and would love to see a gathering here or anywhere. I just can't wait for this thing to get here. I had sold my Harley Davidson so I could get one. I just hope it is everything they claime it to be.   Well on a brighter note how about the Springdale Boys staying in state.  Whhhhooooo  Piggggg!    Larry

[BlondeSherr]

I just moved back to my hometown after 15 years in Atlanta.  Would love to end up in Jonesboro, AR....

are there ANY Northeast AR-AV People out there?

[HogFan]

I'm in North West Ark. Bentonville Anybody else?

[broke 04]

yo

[rtcockrill]

I have an 05 naked avalanche.  I love it!!  Better than any damn land rover I ever owned.  Well, all except one.  But I digress.  Any GTG would be great, I'm in Little Rock. 

[lpatrick]

I just checked the site and saw the posting.  I live in Hot Springs and a very proud owner of a 2004 AV LOADED on factory 20's.  Black and chrome. Bought off Ebay in New York City and had it shipped. It is awesome!  let me know about any gathering in HS that would be great.

[JAYHAWK]

Little Rock here.  2003 WBH Summit White with all mods below.

[EarthQuake]

We'd really like for all of you Arkansas guys to come over and meet a ton of AV owners at the Southern Nights/Super Chevy Show happening in Huntsville, AL from May 18-21.  Right now there are more than 70 AVs planning on being there.  You can find more about it by looking HERE.  Come for any or all of the days.

I hope to see some of you there!  I know you'll really enjoy it!

[mcrendog]

Welcome rtcockrill and lpatrick!

[olefin]

I live in Hot Springs and a very proud owner of a 2004 AV LOADED on factory 20's.  Black and chrome. Bought off Ebay in New York City and had it shipped. 

Welcome, glad to see another from Hot Springs!

I think that is very interesting about you buying off Ebay. I've bought new vehicles from out of town over the phone but I could never buy a used one that I hadn't seen and drove. I've heard about other people buying like that but I would get taken for sure.

Good luck with your AV.

[lpatrick]

Hey, olefin glad to see a fellow spa city guy in here.  I can honestly say my ebay experience was a pleasant one.  I have bought two cars off it and my neighbor saw what I did and just purchased a H2 hummer from Soix City, Iowa. Both look great, just black and chrome.
I have been reading about people wanting to Gatorback their molding.  I have talked with a close personal friend of mine who is a professional painter.  He said he would contact the company and see if he could get it at a cheaper price and give fellow AV'ers a good deal if they wanted to have it sprayed on.  His web site is www.middlefingermohawks.com I will let you know the cost after he looks into it.

[Hogfanmedic]

Hey guys, never paid attention to area forums.  I am in Cedarville, about 25 minutes to Fort Smith.  Mcrendog, nice to know we have Fort Smith in the club.      :GO HOGS:

[rtcockrill]

   When are we going to have an Arkansas GTG?

[yellowgt5]

We need to get something going. I see ton's of AV around central Ark.

[JAYHAWK]

I agree.  How many of us have ATVs?  We could all meet with ATVs in tow north of Atkins.  Or in LR?  Just say the word and I will be there.

[yellowgt5]

I agree just say the word. I would like to look at other people's AV to see what they have done. I do not have an ATV but I might be able to get one.

Keith

[Hogfanmedic]

Now you are talking my language, but my wife is currently pregnant so my four wheeling with my Grizz days are short.  I live in the Ozark Nat Forest so we keep it close to the house right now, of course only when she is at work, so the beatings and screaming stay to a minimun.  What are you guys packing?  02 Yamaha Grizz 660 with 27in mudhogs.  10X12 front, 12X12 on back.  Little brother has 05 Polaris 700 efi Hunter Edition camo.  He has even all-on mod on his...how cool is that.  I am rubbing off on him.

[rtcockrill]

I live in Little Rock and don't have access to an ATV here.  We keep them down at the farm.  I'm game for whatever.  I just would like to get a good network of friends in the area so that I don't have to keep going to the dealership for problems.  Let's get something going!

[goom49]

I went to high school in North Little Rock and college in Central AR (conway) and AR state U (jonesboro).

So I was in Little Rock this weekend and tagged a member.  Anyone get a brochure from me?

[LucidOne]

Hey everybody,
Goom tagged me this weekend and it just reminded me we need to have another GTG at burns park or somewhere.
Lots of cool mods that need to be properly shown to the assembled AV crowd!
I actually met Jayhawk a couple of years ago at Burns Park.

LucidOne

[goom49]

Keep me informed of GTGs, we are in Little Rock every couple of months

[yellowgt5]

I live in the Little Rock area. Burns park would be a great place to meet. Let me know.

Keith

[medic10812]

Just registered today, I live in NE Arkansas, I've had my Avalanch since September, it's an 04 Z66, the only mods so far is a set of factory SS 20's I put on a few weeks ago, really made it look great. I'm currently looking for an 05 or 06 in red or white. If you get something together and my schedule will permit I will try to make.

Thanks

[GoNDeaf]

   Most of these posts are a little old.  Do we have a current coordinator for Arkansas?  I'm going to print some brochures and start doing some tagging.  As many AVs as I see on a daily basis, it shouldn't be too hard to get something going around here.

[Darkhorse]

No current CC in Arkansas, but there are a few active members-good luck getting things going.

[Chino31419]

hey i'm fairly new to the club but i got an 03 z71. best truck i've ever had. just popping in to see when the is the gtg  going to be. i'd love to see other owners and their trucks and see what's happening. keep me posted.

[EarthQuake]

We'd love to have any of our Arkansas AV owners come join us in Nashville for Music City Mayhem.  It will introduce you to the Avalanche Club in a grand way.  It's going to be HUGE.  If you click on my signature below, it will take you to get more info.

Hope to see some of you guys there!

[maw05]

Im at Tech in Russellville. Home is Hot Springs. Glad I found this site. Clubavalanche isnt very helpful.

[KD]

Anybody in Little Rock?  I'm in Little Rock (near War Memorial Stadium) and my girlfriend is in Sherwood.  I'm always going to and from.  Have only spotted a few AVs.  Good meeting place could be Hooters in NLR.  Let see how many AVs we can get there this summer. Honk if you see me.  www.ghostsgraphics.com

[JAYHAWK]

KD, I live in NLR near the Sherwood line on North Hills.  I drive an 03 white wbh 4WD AV.  My club name in on my license plate.  Jayhawk

[KD]

Maybe we'll run into each other someday Jayhawk. I'll be sure to keep a look out for you.

[Kaznasty]

Howdy all from the Northwest Corner of the state,
Just purchased my 2005 Avalanche a couple of weeks ago.   I LOVE it :A:!!! I've been a big fan of Chevy since i was a kid and traded in my '95 Tahoe w/ 172K on it to get this sweet ride.    Moved in from Chicago in '84 when i was a youngster and lived in Springdale/Fayetteville since then.    Currently working for the Springdale FD and selling real estate.   I'll get some pics posted of my new baby soon.   Give me a shout and let me know what's going on with everyone here!  :thumbsup:

[GoNavy429]
