Upstate Cruisers is going to do our part to help the Ga Cruisers with their upcoming Land Cruiser Raffle... and give you a chance to win a truck!

UC is going to purchase $500 worth of raffle tickets for the truck to be given to UC Members that donate parts to the buidup of the truck. There is a thread on the Ga Cruisers site that provides a list of needed parts which will be continuously updated as the build progresses.

UC will give members 1 $10 raffle ticket for every $20 in parts donated. We will have a total of 50 tickets to give away and it will be first come first served. The only stipulation is the part has to be something they need and accept. Within reason, donating members can establish the value of the part.

So... in a nutshell here's the program.

UC buys $500 worth of raffle tickets.

UC Members donate $1000 worth of parts to the Ga Cruisers to help build the truck.

UC Members get 1 $10 ticket for every $20 worth of parts donated.

A UC Member wins a new truck!!! (That last part isn't guaranteed... the first two should be)

We SAVE TELLICO!!!!!

Go to the GA Cruisers site now and see what they need.

Donate a part they need, email me with the part they need and the value and there will be tickets with your name on them!


:cheers:
 
Wow, I can't thank the Upstate Cruisers enough.

We should also include all of the clubs, vendors and individuals alike for the overwhelming support we continue to receive. While the Ga Cruisers are organizing this raffle we certainly want recognize the efforts put forth by everyone who has contributed selflessly by fighting for access to public lands. It is through a united front that we can win this battle.

Currently, we have accepted pledges of parts and cash from as far away Utah and Colorado. The official parts list is being kept by Heather (Thanks Heather) and should be updated regularly. We delivered the truck to ACC on Thursday for a good look over which I'm sure will result in a much bigger parts list. While we certainly have on our list some fancier items let's not overlook the mundane things such as hoses, belts, gaskets etc that will be required and every bit as important. Of course, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

As we try to gain national attention to the cause through this raffle we ask to keep excitement up and pass word along to everyone you know.

Again a BIG Thanks from the Ga. Cruisers to our brothers & sisters in the Upstate Cruisers, Great Job!

I don't have much but I can give some rear gear oil (is Wally World brand but my Pig likes it) and I have a radiator from a FJ60 - will this work?
Click to expand...

Wally world is fine...and as for the radiator, I think so...but I am chekcing. Is the one you have in good shape (i.e. doesn't need rebuilt and can just be installed)?

I have no idea on the radiator. I would have it checked out. It came from the motor I had rebuilt - might be fine - might not. If its not you can chunk it.
 
Pretty sure I have some eom front brake pads
 
That would be great. sounds like I need to bring a trailer to GSMTR, haha
 
would y'all be interested in some custom quarter panel sliders?
i guess it mostly depends on the rear bumper, but let me know.

would it be out of line to post up the list in the Parts-Classifieds? Maybe some kind hearted folks trying to clean out thier supplies could help.


I saw that Iron Pig off road has 2 a440's for sale right now with low mileage, maybe they would consider donating to the cause instead of rebuilding one.

Just a couple thoughts.
 
Good idea Josh. I'm sure the Ga Cruisers folks running this show are watching and will give it a shot.

Boombapslappy has gotten the first two raffle tickets for his donation!!! Congrats and good luck!

48 to go...

Don't see why not! The other option was donating to me, and I don't think that even crossed your mind :flipoff2:
