Hey Drew welcome and you found the right place for some help and advice. As you may have already found out the MUD forum is one of the best resources you can have. If you've learned the serach function in the 40 area you can get answers to almost everything you need. We also have a tech section here in our clubhouse forum where we help our members where we can http://forum.ih8mud.com/la-bayou-sta...ions-here.html which is another good place for you to post questions and get help. You should come by and meet our group at one of our meetings when you get the chance. Next one is 5/17. You can see all of our events here in the forum http://forum.ih8mud.com/la-bayou-sta...le-events.html

or here on the website.

I hope we'll here more from you.

We should have a new member joining the club soon. I sold my FJ-60 to my buddy Donny in Lafayette. Never ever, ever, ever thought I would see it go, but he really wanted a cruiser and thats what friends are for. I have lost a member of my family but still have a great friend. I will always remember "Old Blue", who never left me stranded, took both of my kids home after being born, and took me to hell and back with me abusing her and trying to break her on many occasions only to have her take me home time and time again. Very sad and happy day at the same time. Tears are in my eyes. Now lets see what Donny, who is a welder can do...........let the mods begin.

Good story Isaac and the funny thing is sometimes they have a way of coming back home. My first 40 did and now has a new home in TN where my parents will enjoy their retirement behind the wheel. He expects to give it to Holden when its time. Its great to hear all the stories behind some of these rigs and where they've been.

Welcome to the forum Donna! It is kind of tricky at first but with a little practice you will soon learn how to navigate it.

Some of the posts are downright funny!

Welcome.

This is the Ozark Cruiser crawl link.Mississippi's Toyota 4x4 Enthusiast Club | Cotton Land Cruisers They are calling it the Southern Cruiser Crawl which will help you when typing in search terms and such. If you are looking to get an FJ Cruiser that you want to do some serious off roading you may want to look at TRD all black ones. They seem to have all the bells and whisles but other members of our club don't seem to have a problem with theirs. Just sayin.

kjnarmyfj · 09-07-09, 09:44 PM

On Jacks behalf, thanks for the warm welcome.

Also thanks to John for assisting in bringing Jack to my and our (BSLCA) families.

There was some limited discussion of Jacks roll in the BSLCA family. I have to admit I believe if the club is willing we could have a great time with him and also do some good.

History:
Jack was auctioned off to the highest bidder. It is the responsiblitly of the new owner to keep a photo album of Jack's travels and experiences for the following year. He is to be brought back to the next Jeep Jaunt with photo album and auctioned off again.

If the club is interested and willing, I believe we could apply BSLCA attitude of going above and beyond and have a great time with Jack.

Possibilities:
* Begin a thread for Jack
* Keep an outstanding photo ablum
* Throughout year collect donations for individuals to take a
picture with Jack (will go in photo album). Donations will be
turned into the American Lung Assoc. next Jeep Jaunt with
Jack (Thanks for the great idea PK)
* Lend Jack out to fellow BSLCA members, so he could travel
with their families or to buisnesses for greater donation
potential
* Some secret assignments discussed on a NTKB

* Use Jack to have some fun with JC and the Jeepers
* Make Jack a shirt: Front - I Love BSLCA Back - American Lung Assc. and Jeep Jaunt

Please let me know what you think.

If jack was a cut out flat piece of cardboard paper he would be easier to travel with. If you are going to different destinations via plane, he would take up lots of room. There was a thread in chat where a cut out of a similar idea went all around the world. It was a pretty cool thread but I forgot the name of it. Maybe someone else remembers?

lostinafog · 10-26-09, 06:41 AM

Jack is not apiece of cardboard

he is a three D entity that will return to the Jeep Jaunt in 2010 to be auctioned off again. full of tales a pics of his time in nervanna

but he will have seen the other side and may not want to return to his former life as a Jeeper

He could be photochoped to look 3D but if he stays 3D it seems he will live a sheltered life and not see much of the world outside of the good old U.S.A. but a least he doesn't have to spend it in a heep.

Sounds fun

I'm sure he can hitch a ride to the multiple events the club will be traveling to next year and could make a good trails or advertiser article as well. If he wants to hitch a ride to Tennessee for Thanksgiving we take him up the big hill to 6,600 feet to Clingmans Dome and the National Park for some pics.
