you're in woodland hills, right? as SNT 08 nears, I don't mind coordinating a meeting place for other cruisers to meet -either in the valley or malibu.
we'll most likely leave after the kids get outta school on fri. I'd rather not wait til sat morn, & discover there are sucky spots left.
let's keep in touch.

I really want my wife there because I want her to been as confident on the trails as I am. She often helps with my projects.
After dinner tonight we talked about SnT and its been decided that for sure we will be taking two vehicles. So I will be going up with the 60. So I have work to do to make the drive not suck so much. 
I am still unsure of when I will be going. It could be Thursday or Fri. Not sure. As it gets closer then it will be easier to figure out.
Make sure you go to the meeting on the 7th!

Sounds good. As we get closer I should be able to finalize plans. Hopefully nothing ELSE fails on the 60 :(

Yup thats the one. Get there around 7 you should be fine. Plan on staying or awhile after. We all chit chat for a few hours after.
I have a feeling Randy will be taking the 126 but who knows.

Joey is right. I will be taking the 126 up to Pismo. I would never want to go up the 5 to Pismo / SLO area. The 101 is such a nicer drive a long the coast as long as you don't get stuck is Santa Barbara traffic.
The toughest part of the 101 will be the grade right after Goleta as the 101 starts to go inland. I thought that my FJ62 would really suck it up on hills but last time I was in Fresno I could hold 50 mph up grades (around 8,000 ft elevation.) I don't forsee any problems getting to Pismo using the 101. The grapvine didn't hurt my truck either although I only had myself and a passenger and we were only half loaded for a camping weekend.

Hey Ron!
Met you today at the Trail Teams event. Nice meeting you:
Now about me and my FJ60
I'm 39 and live in the San Gabriel Valley
I have a Tan 87 FJ60 which is all stock. It's in pretty good condition, or so I've been told.
I've done a lot of mechanical work to it that it was in dire need of as the PO neglected a bunch of things. Two PO's ago, a Toyota mechanic owned it and he took care of it.
Still have some Birfs to rebuild and a few leaks to tend to, but overall it's in good running condition. Carb runs really good now thanks to Mark A.
Haven't wheeled it yet and can't wait to do so.
Here it is: I named it Kenjitsu
Hope to see you all soon.

The Toyota Trail Teams was there holding a kind of 4x4 test drive with either an FJ60 or Tacoma. I choose the FJ

Introduction
My name is Sean, and I live in Santa Clarita. I own the following:
1966 FJ40
-33x12.50x15
-4" Skyjackers
-327
-SM420
-Orion TC
-Winch
-Lockright in rear, stock otherwise
-Some safety gear: Hi-lift Jack, 33" spare, winch, fire extinguisher, army shovel, steel gas can; other stuff that I can't think of...
2005 Sequoia SR5 - Stock 2wd for the
Last, and very least, 1993 Grand Cherokee - Stock everything, parked "down by the river," or the gutter, anyway.

"I want to wheel it." I guess that will always be my standard response, but right now I need to get extended soft brake lines since I put on the longer shackles.
By the way, I live in the Canyon Country area, so if you see me, please honk, wave, throw something, etc. Amazing how many Toyota owners (especially FJ Cruiser owners) are clueless as to the "J**p-looking thing" that is driving along side them

I get he feeling that your average FJC owner doesn't have a clue about the vehicle they are driving, much less its lineage.
Its kinda like me waving at LX470 owners. They just look at me and try and figure out why I am waving at them.

Yeah, I get more acknowledgment from J**p owners.

Hello, my name is Shahram. I live in the San Fernando Valley (yes, I am a porn star, thank you for asking).
I drive a 1996 Land Cruiser with OEM FR+RR lockers, 3" OME heavies, tall and skinny KM2s, ARB front/Kaymar tyre jockey rear.
I also work in local shipping and messenger, so if you need anything transported within Southern California quickly, PM or email me.
Hope to see you on the trails!

Hey, I'm James, and I'm in La Crescenta less than a mile or two (literally) from where you guys meet. I'm not looking to hit the trails in my rig yet, (combination of no experience, being only a month away from getting my license, and the lack of any of the equipment you guys require for the trucks) but I might be interested enough to pop in and meet some of the guys eventually, if you wouldn't mind.
My Rig: Totally stock 1990 FJ62.
Like I said, don't expect to see me soon, but I'll let you know if I can come down (I go to that Coco's quite often, actually) Hope to meet some of you eventually!

Well feel free to come to the meeting tonight James. We don't require a rig to show up
At least come to see what goes on, what is discussed and then check out some of the other rigs there and get some ideas and get some questions answered.

I don't quite live in L.A. County but I am about 5 miles From the L.A. County line. Rosamond. Ca.
The USAF has moved me all over the place. I bought my 1st FJ40 while stationed at Elmendorf AFB in Alaska. It was stock then, but by the time I left Mark W did my spring over, and FJ60 Power Steering. Trailered it to my next assignment at Langley AFB in Hampton Virginia. It wasn't even the same Land Cruiser when I left Virginia. While there I wheeled Tellico, Crozet, Paragon, Katemcy and a couple local trails. I also Bought and sold 4 Land Cruisers while stationed there. Didn't get to wheel any one of them though. Gave the FJ80 to my parents. Now I am stationed at Edwards AFB and still have My 1st FJ40. I am residing in Rosamond, and am blown away that I can just drive off the end of the pavement. No trailer required. So on to the specs on my rig:
1973 FJ40. 1977 2F, H41, Orion, FJ60 rear axle, 4 wheel discs, Aqualu tub, MetalTech frame tied cage, MetalTech fenders, home build bumper/stinger/grille hoop, sliders, lockers, 37" Iroks or Krawlers (red label) depends on the trail.
Looking forward to meeting the Left Coast cruiser nuts out here.
