I sure wish it wasn't 1,142 miles to Golden.......and gas wasn't $2.50/gallon.......and I wish my Cruiser got 26mpg instead of 16mpg

treerootCO · 08-15-05, 08:24 PM

I'll be there if I can get the day off.

gulp3000 · 08-16-05, 11:30 AM

Romer · 08-23-05, 08:38 AM

Bump - The swap meet should be great along with the food. Walking through his shop sure gives ideas on new mods to do.

treerootCO · 08-26-05, 05:51 PM

ttt

If anyone needs FJ60 parts, PM me and I can pull them in the morning. I was going to haul the whole thing but I decided it isn't as mobile as I was thinking.

Reminder - Rising Sun Swap Meet and Slee Open House today. Come by at meet some fellow cruiserheads and have some food.

PabloCruise · 08-27-05, 06:15 PM

Man, was this a good time or what?!? Woo hoo!

Great peeps, great chow, and Christo's shop looks very groovy...

I drove down with FJ Ben in the 40 - just took the top off yesterday!

My buddy Tim convoyed with us - he drove his 40 that is for sale in my dig line.

dmaddox (aka "Ragman") came up from C-Springs, Ige was there, Nakman, Rezarf, Sgt013, and many more!

Good times, good times...

T Y L E R · 08-27-05, 06:31 PM

Thanx for the report!

Got any pics?

TY

nuclearlemon · 08-27-05, 07:11 PM

here's a few

nuclearlemon · 08-27-05, 07:14 PM

one of the rising sun members showed up in his "new", purchased from the original owner, 1968 fj40 with all the manuals, tools, and early caps. he was a pickup guy...he's now come to the light

we tried to convert another pickup guy, but the rust was so bad, as soon as he sat in it, the cruiser rusted away.

T Y L E R · 08-27-05, 07:21 PM

Thanx for the pics Ige

Just a tad over 1200 miles away .. I have no excuse for missing the fun

TY

treerootCO · 08-27-05, 07:26 PM

I offered him 600.00 for the hubcaps and he refused.

bh4rnnr · 08-27-05, 10:07 PM

Dang, looks like a fun time. Wish I could have been there. Would have been better than the day at work

. Looks like a good turn out to. And call it a hunch, but I take it you want those hub caps there Treeroot

FJBen · 08-29-05, 09:30 AM

Good times, was nice meeting some of you for the first time, and seeing others again.

Christo...the food was great and the store looks awesome!

2badfjs · 08-29-05, 09:39 AM

christo, where did you get that cool dug out canoe?

sleeoffroad · 08-29-05, 12:38 PM

The dugout canoe is from Lake Malawi

Some pics of the shop and waiting area.

Cruiserdrew · 08-29-05, 01:02 PM

Wow-comfy chairs in the waiting area. All you need is an expresso maker and a beer keg. Maybe wireless internet so the customers could surf MUD all day. I wish you shop was about 1000 miles west. Looking good and congrats. You have the best looking Cruiser shop in the country.

sleeoffroad · 08-29-05, 01:07 PM

Have WIFI and espresso maker, ice cream in the ARB fridge, beer in the other

T Y L E R · 08-29-05, 01:38 PM

Damn .. pretty sweet digs Christo! I'll try and remember to dress appropriately when I get there ..

*calculating* Hmmm 1200 miles .. 2 day drive .. make a good week long trip.
