Elaborate on green trail... would that be doable in my 80? If so I may be up for the trip.

You most certainly would be able to do the green trail......no worries.

Do you have sliders. some of those climbs have sharp break overs. Other than that green is no big deal.

Spoken by a guy who doesn't have a truck that could do it at the moment.

You didn't see my LX on 37" that I've been driving around Evanston lately?

the 88 could do it.

To be honest I would have to borrow my wife's truck to do it myself.

The pig is getting an intake transplant.

we can take it easy until you feel confident.
thinking of getting out of Chicago by 7am.

Looks like I'm coming down with a "cold"....might have to call in "contageous" tomorrow....COUGH...COUGH...

Who is picking my sorry ass up tomorrow?

Man this sucks... I really wanted to go...

Lets make this a weekly event.

 

[volts911]

If next week worms up i'll be heading out.

I might be doing a Cliff's run Saturday. All depends if Digger gets his FJC back from Indiana then. He did mention that he wanted to do the badlands also. Hopefully I'll hear from him soon.

BTW I saw this on Craigslist her in Chicago. 1972 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser

He sent a pic too

I think I saw that doest the guy want like 10k.

Maybe if it wasnt cookie monster blue. Diamond plate is for fags. Lastly any 72 fj40 that doesnt reside in a garage in Chicago is worth 2k. That is all, sorry im pissed that I dont have a 40!

It has diamond plate on it and he wants $10K?

Good luck with that.

He sent me a few pics of it. There is definite rust/cancer in all the usual spots yet he still want's big money for it. He listed a bunch of off-road parts but then says he never took it off road. Methinks he's looking for a sucker. I was ready to offer him $6k for it.

And a sucker he WILL find. There may not be a easier vehicle to scam someone with than a 40

My exact thoughts when I saw the photo.

That truck is parked about two blocks from Allison's old apartment. I left him a note on the front seat about a year ago but he never called me. The truck actually looked pretty solid, but still WAY overpriced at 10K.
