Sam, Linda and I mirror Pops' comments. Thank you and Sandy for having this event at your home in the forest. It couldn't have been better. Special thanks to Tracey for all of his hard work that made this a one of a kind event, and for raising the bar so high. It will be challenging for future...
Tracey, do you have the original red cruiser art work? Think I found that too with the font. Pm an email and I'll see if I can get it to you via this phone
Mark, good to hear that you are nearly finished with your 4runner and it does in fact run. That is always a relief. I've always had good luck covering the oil stains with an oil absorbent, like kitty litter, for a few days or so then collecting that up followed by a detergent, dawn, simple...
Mark I've been reading along as your adventure progresses, have you had success getting it installed yet? I'm guessing you stayed with the 3.0l 3vze, right? I am following because in September I got a 2nd gen 4runner kit. Good body, but disassembled 3vze. Learning a lot. I have only seen...
Vic, I figured you were out of town, as you didn't bite on my comment to you. The forest service did away with the old wood tables and replaced them with expanded metal. No paint needed, so there goes another link to the times we've spent out camping and using those massive, old wood picnic...
I received a call from Jeff Outhier at the Westcliffe Work Center this morning. He said the pesky, old-always-need-painted picnic tables were replaced with expanded metal ones several years ago, so no worries on painting them. He did say that the campground where they are needs the fire pits...
I received a call from Jeff Outhier this afternoon. He said what we have already guessed, that The official "Brighten the Sangres" event is no more due the budget cuts and so forth. But, the forest service will be grateful for any cleanup we, CLC, can do. He knows that both Hermit and Rainbow...
Travis, I have a call into the Westcliffe Work Center for info. The local paper, http://wetmountaintribune.com/index.asp, doesn't have anything on Brighten the Sangres. If you have a minute, give me a call @ 963-8012.
Plastic scrap...
Andrew, I'm sure if you bring what waste scraps you have, you'll not have to deal with them any more. I need one right now, but will have to go find something in the garage to make a shim for a toilet with a slight rock in it do to the floor being a little out of flat.
One of my projects - or a place for extensive projects:
Linda and I picked up a foreclosure near Calhan this last month. The house is a single wide modular/trailer depending on your definition. Its a 12x75 in pretty good condition. It is said to have plumbing problems, so will tackle that...
Yurt move...
There is a club in Durango, Derailed Cruisers, who may be able to provide some assistance. We are on Colorado's front range, in and around Colorado Springs, and about 321 miles from Durango. Check in the club section, and put a post in there too. Sounds like quite a project...
Way back when I was working on my FJ40, I had Timberline Custom Upholstry on N. Stone, do all the seats including the jump seats. I wanted to retain the stock look, so he said he had a product that he used on UPS/FedX trucks - "Wears like Iron", he sez. I had this done in 1997, and this is how...
Colorado Diesel Emission Testing
Bret, only the front range counties of Colorado require Diesel emission testing. Down where you'll be isn't required. Check this site, and find where it sez "click here":

54mm socket...
I was talking with Andy today, and mentioned your question about a 54mm socket. Neither of us remember the club having one, but thats not to say that one doesn't exist. I remember trying to come up with a method to track club assets, but we never had a good solution. Do you...
