Wow, I mean what can I say but wow.

Just recieved my April/May issue, well written and very nice work as usual.

Small issue, I drove my customers FJ45 with diesel conversion and frame off restoration 26 hrs to Pismo. Slept in the back of the cruiser on a air mattress while my Canuck friends Sheldon and Greg fed me over the weekend.

When I arrived later that day I drove the truck to the top of a dune, great backdrop with sunset. While I stood on the dune with the FJ45 running a FJ40 came cruising up and out hopped Ziggy and Treeroot.

They asked if I mind they take a couple pictures, I was pleased and answered yes. Mike said this is one of the best shots and would think it would make a good front cover shot, I said it would be great even if it made it into the trials mag.

Couple months later I got a call from Mike asking if he could post up the cruiser in Trails, I said yes and waited eagerly in anticipation for the copy.

My customers rig did not make it, I was pretty let down.

My membership came up next month, will do some soul searching and try and find a good reason why I should stay a member.
