Thanks again for the great spotting... we had a blast.
Sorry you missed Saturday. It had a couple of spots where you would have liked a spot but the rest was much more GX friendlyThey'll be too outraged by that white GX to get upset about your Taco

All good... we had a great time and will be better equipped next year. Hate we missed Saturday too, but it worked out fine.
Before this thread is relegated to the back 40, on behalf of Sam, Peter and myself, I would like to think everyone who attended this years event especially those that traveled great distances to do so.
The event continues to grow and the number of 70 Series present increases each year.

I have been thinking about trading my kzj78 for an fj40 or fj55 but if I still have it next year I am totally going to bring mine to this! Seems awesome! Wish my work schedule would have allowed me to go this year. The life of a teacher...
Love seeing all these pictures from the event though!

To be clear, although we would prefer that you bring a 70 Series, all Land Cruisers are welcome.
FORMAT CHANGE FOR 2023……..
In the 7 years that Peter Brown, Sam Houston and I have been organizing the 70 Series Meet and Greet we’ve never charged to attend the event or had a formal registration process (we may be the only annual event that doesn’t) but with ever increasing cost our format will need to change for 2023 and beyond. This format change isn’t an effort to make money but we can no longer depend on a few donors, including the organizers which covered the majority of cost for this years event. All proceeds beyond what is required to host the event will be donated to a charity.
Our goal is to at least break even on the meal cost and have the ability to purchase event insurance from the TLCA.
For 2023 we’ve already had a couple of 70 Series owners in the local Oak Ridge area offer to host the group on Friday night. In this case, some of the monies collected would go to at least cover their cost.
We will have a formal registration period next year (probably 2 months prior) along with ticket sales in the $45.00- $50.00 range per person. Hopefully this amount will allow us to better cover cost and still leave some proceeds for our chosen charity. The annual window decal design will also be included with your ticket purchase.
THANKS

With the fee change, is it possible to step up to being a sanctioned event (covered by TLCA insurance rider)? Also increase the length (such Wednesday-Saturday) where those traveling significant distances might consider it more substantial and worthy of the drive?
Yes and Yes….
We will definitely be a TLCA sanctioned event next year and extending the length of the event is being considered.
Also considering an event t-shirt that can be purchased during the registration process.
If we have a sponsor (or sponsors) step forward the cost of registration could possibly be reduced or eliminated all together.
I’m finally getting around to writing an article for “Toyota Trails” and will most likely include photos from last Fall’s Meet & Greet. If for some reason you don’t won’t photos of your 70 Series used please let me know.
Thanks
Thanks
Also need to know who was driving this Cruiser.
We’ll start a new thread in late June for this year’s 70 Series Meet & Greet but for those of you that are into long range planning this years dates are 9/21-24/2023.
JUST A HEADS UP……..
This year’s gathering will be a TLCA sanctioned event (a first for us) and ALL drivers will need to be a TLCA member.

Had a bunch of these printed for this Fall’s event.
Why do they have to be TCLA members? Just because the event is TCLA sanctioned? Never been to a TLCA sanctioned event to be honest.

I’m new to this so some of my answers may be totally wrong.
Premise #1 … The event has grown to the point where we thought it was prudent to have liability insurance.
The TLCA offers such insurance (not free) and the price varies depending on if your event is “sanctioned” or if it’s an “open event”.
We chose “sanctioned” for a couple of reasons. We wanted to support the TLCA and the insurance is less expensive than that of an open event. (I believe TLCA membership is in the $35.00 range and in my opinion their magazine alone is worth that amount). ***** Only the drivers will be required to be members*****
