So can I get a head count so we know who to expect this coming weekend.

little_joe · 08-18-08, 07:22 PM

I'll be there Friday and Saturday. Probably leaving RDU around 3-4pm and coming back Saturday evening.

I dont want to be "that guy".

Jeff you will be fine, I would love to see that truck.

fj40z · 08-18-08, 07:40 PM

I will be there friday evening hopefully around 5 or 6 and possibly sat. night also.

strong_toy · 08-18-08, 07:51 PM

I'll be there Friday night with my family (4+dog). Also plan to stay Saturday night.

addicted56 · 08-18-08, 08:30 PM

I'll be there. Probably +1. We will see...she isn't fond of bringing our mutts but if I can convince her she will show. They aren't exactly call of the wild material.

(Someone might be taking me on a ride though in the morning...progress on the 4-runner's fuel system has been meager to say the least)

jfz80 · 08-18-08, 08:30 PM

Im in w/ one friend (possibly but doubtful he will be in his stock tacoma) and one dog, and of course i vote for Q

. Plan to come friday night and stay for both rides and luch..... undetermined if staying sat night but most likely.

sheesh, im the only one in for BBQ??? i pass through Lexington on the way down and also have a pretty decent joint here in town. Only down side would be safe storage and heating but i dont put it past us to figure that out.

Fort Knox · 08-18-08, 11:13 PM

I'm in, possibly with the wife and dog. We'll be coming in Saturday morning. Hopefully we can get rolling early enough to catch the morning ride, but it could be tough since I'm no morning person.

uzj100 · 08-19-08, 09:04 AM

I am working on coming Saturday AM with my 2 daughters. No camping this time. Just want to get the 100 on the EZ trails and show my girls around.

Thanks guys, Im going to try to make it Saturday morning.

krzyabncanuck · 08-19-08, 05:28 PM

Wish i could make this one but i have to work this weekend.

I am also waiting for a few last parts for this 1978 front axle housing that will be going under my 75 fj40 with disks and Longs complete.

Will be up there the entire 3rd week of Sep though.

concretejungle · 08-19-08, 08:25 PM

i plan on coming. I will come Friday evening and ride saturday. I'll probably head out saturday evening though.

rutbeer · 08-19-08, 08:41 PM

Looks like I might be able to make it on Friday night and then leave some time Saturday afternoon.
Question: Who has an 8 megapixel camera that's coming to this event. I need some high res pics of my truck for an article.

Pimpin shots.

southerncruiser62 · 08-19-08, 09:01 PM

Barry I will have a 7.0 with me if you want to use it. Glad to hear you will make it.

mtweller · 08-20-08, 08:02 PM

Sure do wish I could make it! I will be studying for my PMP test this weeked. Good news though, I sold my tires and am about to order my hysteer kit from 4x4Labs. Plan to hit the ground running for my SOA and 465 swap in mid September! Have fun and drink a few cold ones for me!

addicted56 · 08-20-08, 08:19 PM

Guess I might be out

4-runner engine I replaced was NOT rebuilt (explitive).

Uninsured the Landcruiser last week to insure the 4-runner. Not to mention it wouldn't make it there anyway.

Have fun without me for the gillionth month in a row. Might make a run out in my truck and catch a ride with someone. We will see.

RYAN BARNARD · 08-20-08, 09:29 PM

Well it looks like i'll be there as well with Martha Ann and Patrick. This will be Patricks first camping trip. Were looking foward to it very much!

GarnerFJ40 · 08-21-08, 06:28 AM

I won't be there, but anxiously awaiting the details of the September ride.
I return to the States on Aug 30.

diggity · 08-21-08, 07:26 AM

Guys, looks like I will not be able to make this one. Looking forward to the Sept. ride, if I don't have to go to Vegas for work

Everyone have fun and take lots of pictures.

Brad

YOTAFAN · 08-21-08, 08:05 AM

Looks like I won't be making this one, although I'm looking forward to some good pictures of the event. My wife just gave birth to our 4th kid and I wasn't planning on leaving her with 4 kids (all 4 and under) by herself. I hope everyone has a great time.

southerncruiser62 · 08-21-08, 09:49 AM

Congratulations John, we will keep you posted on upcoming rides,

Hope everyone is doing well and we completely understand.

I've got the hardware but can't be there on Sat, I've got a 9-6 event I must be at. I'll be glad to take shots for you most any other time we can get together...

1969cruzer · 08-21-08, 06:02 PM

what is everyones feeling on other trucks(non-toyotas) coming? i have a buddy I am trying to convince on coming with an H3.

also with my fj cruiser do I need to take off the predator side steps to make it over the easy stuff? I will not be doing anything major with it just mainly testing the waters and watching ewveryone else.
Spence

southerncruiser62 · 08-21-08, 07:11 PM

Spence I will give you a call here shortly, I saw you had called, but as far as other vehicles I would say this, the consensus is going to be that this is an ONSC ride and event, while we invite those friends and family to join we need to keep it mainly club related. With that said we also invite those interested in becoming a part of the club (keep in mind owning a toyota 4wd is one of those requirements, and seriously what's not to say after seeing a land cruiser perform they might opt to trade there current vehicle in for one) to join us one time to see what ONSC has to offer.

concretejungle · 08-21-08, 09:09 PM

i bet if that H3 has a rear locker, it'll do really well.

1969cruzer · 08-21-08, 10:06 PM

the H3 isnt going but the owner is so I hope he is impressed with what all the rigs can do!

My brother, my friend and myself will be there friday night leaving out winston around 630-7pm.

strong_toy · 08-21-08, 10:12 PM

I don't personally have an issue with non-Toyota's. It'll make for some fun pictures and YouTube videos if we get to pull the H3 over obstacles. But, in all seriousness we don't have control over who is on the trails. Another option is to have your friend come out Sunday since it seems almost everyone is leaving Saturday evening.
