    Meetings?

    I'm a charter/stakeholder member from the '70s. I live in Colorado now and the Grey Goose ('74 FJ55) has been replaced by the Goose('85 FJ60). I do have occasion to get to Vegas and was wondering when and where the meetings are if there are any. Thanks, John White. (Chairman of the first...

    Relocate Air intake to cowl?
