Say Hello and Intrduce yourself.

Welcome to Book Cliff Cruisers. My name is Bill Baker and I am the current President of our association. I live here in Grand Junction and my Toys are a 1995.5 Tacoma, and a 1997 FZJ 80 LandCruiser.

Congratulations Bookcliff Cruisers! You are now on 'mud, and your presence will soon be known to all. I'm Darryl, and I'm currently the newsletter editor for 'Crusin Colorado, for www.ColoradoLandCruisers.com out of Colorado Springs as well as past president. I am a GJ native, and my wife and I are over here as care givers for my 91 year old dad. I have 3 4WD's, one of which is my '72 FJ40, which is more or less stock, or at least it is still powered by a "F" engine. It has lots of rust in the usual places, which contrasts nicely with the white finish. OME suspension gives it just the right amount of lift for metric 10.5 X 33's on 16" wheels. A '76 disk brake front axel is held in proper alignment with a shackle reversal. A 4-speed transmission gives an extra gear when needed. A trusty-rusty Warn 8274 helps pull whatever back to where in needs to be - last used to remove 2 old juniper shrubs. We had a ball with it on 21 road over Memorial day weekend. I have been 4WDing for 50 years, so that makes me an old guy - guess thats why I get along with old iron.

I'm very happy to see your club get going, and I will do whatever I can to support your effort.

Hi I am Benjamin Wayne Buskirk. I moved back from Colorado springs to Junction about eight months ago. We have a 19mo old who keeps us going. I grew up here in the valley and am happy to be back. I was the TLCA delegate of Colorado Land Cruisers. I drive an 84 fj60.

Way cool

I'm the southern element down here in Albuquerque

member of TLCA since 1996 # 4219

There is no such thing as one Cruiser in the garage

I've got 4, a DD 80 series, a diesel swap FJ-55,
a 62 series parts donor to the 55, and the trusty long term,
"I'm gonna be buried in it" 82 FJ-40

Looking forward to the trip on the 20th

Paid my dues Tuesday so now I am a member of Book Cliff Cruisers though my official address is Kentucky and my plates say Montana.... no I am not a fugitive! Because I travel a lot in the 4-Corners area a "local club" seemed like a logical fit.

Retired a few years ago and have been living on the road the past 6 years. Been wheeling on/off since 1960, but have gotten serious about the sport (again) in 2005.

Currently I have a 2008 FJ Cruiser with most of the good stuff installed. Recently decided to outfit my rig with Expedition One bumpers front and rear as I feel they offer they best bumpers on the market. They have my old ARB front bumper and lights for sale at a very good price, call them at 801-627-2921 if your looking.

Hey, I'm Jonathan Hayes. I claim Fruita, Colorado as my home, but I work part of the year in TN. I have a 1984 FJ60, mods include a resto, expedition one winch bumper with 9k winch, trail-gear sliders, and a safari snorkel with a black toyota prefilter. I'm currently finishing a SROR rear swing-out with gas can/hi-lift rear bumper and I plan on installing a new console and rhio-lining the interior within the month. As soon as I finish those mods and buying a RTT I'm pretty much done with my 60 build.

[Alan "Ace" Brown]

Welcome to the BCC. You just missed a great wheeling/camping trip to the Ouray vicinity last weekend.

Almost finished with your 60, huh? Are any of us ever finished building our trucks?
