Nice kitchen table visit while @sofj45 took a break from the road yesterday while en route to Proffitts. Very straight original Pig with a bit of rust. Can’t wait to see what Jeremiah and crew do with it.

Yes...

Flew to Salt Lake City Tuesday of last week. Seller picked me up and we completed the sale in Ogden. Drove the FJ Cruiser 300 miles home that evening. Couldn't be happier. Better set of tires and I'm good to interlope on the next Pig Party...

First couple of pics at the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum. Great Pig Party trying to keep up with JMack and Evan dashing across the desert past the Salt Flats.

Nope, Steve has some finer details to finish then put some miles on her. Kim and I will fly down there and drive her home. Per Steve a little while ago Drove it a bit this morning and it’s running well. Runs through the gears well and sounds...

A lot going on in a pig doing anything over the speed limit and the hood "weird floaty thing" almost disappears when you start focusing on all the other ways you're about to die. Fortunately I have the under/over drive gears in my transfer case...

May have to attach parking alarms front and back on the tent. Thanks, I think, for the memory. Hi to Leslie... Automatic. 4Runners are like ants on an anthill around here. At least I won’t see myself coming and going. Also prefer the shorter...

Too old (and lazy) to start another project like Bonnie/Frankencruiser so went for this instead. Still sticking with oddball Toyotas. We'd been eyeing them since they first came out. 2014 FJ Cruiser with 47k, bought new in UT, always dealer...

Did come from JT Outfitters as I mentioned in the other thread.

That’s also a JT Outfitters ps bracket we used on Bonnie, Jon. Issue, as you know, is heat due to proximity to the SBC exhaust manifold.

Might want to check on what's required to participate in a TLCA-sanctioned event. Pig Parties have been pretty informal so far.

Just saw this @riderjgs , my condolences brother. Many prayers for her and you and gratitude for our time together.

Sorry for your loss, Jim. It was great to have spent time with you both out exploring this great Earth. I wish the best for you and your family during this difficult time.💔

IN-FRIGGIN-CREDIBLE! Will be listing the old Porsche on BAT sooner rather than later. Makes me think I should first take it to Boise/Kuna for a fluff 'n' fold.

Yep, sold it. Would have worked nicely. I'll email you the obit for Bonnie and my weekly newspaper column with an obvious subject. Appreciate your thoughts. Hi to Kim.

Spare tire plans?

Just a quick thank you to all who've responded. Obviously it's a hard time selfishly but also relief and gratitude that Bonnie's in a better place after a long five-year bout with dementia. Kids are home and we're going through old pictures...

Six is right. Just got the last two out of sequence. I found the site for Rio de Los Pinos with help from a couple of folks from NM.

MIss the Pig Parties and the people. We'd been to the first six from PP#1 through the Black Hills. Favorite was the Magruder Trail. Too early to suggest you all return to where it all started, Rico, in 2027?
