Carolina Relic Run 2017 - June 9th-11th 2017 (1 Viewer)

I have really enjoyed opening the boxes that have been showing up at my house recently.

Thank you to Overland Metric for their donation for the General Raffle. Pictured below in the optional organizer is their FJ40 Full Vehicle Hardware Kit in Yellow. The hex bolts and nuts are JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) sized and was custom manufactured to OEM specs. Also included is their Stainless Steel JIS front door hinge kit for FJ40.

And for those of us that aren't fortunate enough to win this prize, each driver will receive a discount code good for 15% off purchases through 7/31/17.

Wow! The hits just keep on coming! I will intend even if it means missing my own funeral!

All PMs responded to about t-shirt sizes. Reminder, emails will be sent to the email address associated with your PayPal account, not some other email address I'm supposed to guess/predict

My email for the tshirt size request went to Junk Mail. I found it and responded. Thanks Johnny!

Thanks again to Cruiser Brothers for their donation of three Terrain Tamer Knuckle Kits for the General Raffle! These are made to work in 40, 60, and 70 series trucks with build dates up to 1/90. I believe there are more than a few folks in the group who need these.

Thanks much Georg and Ward!

I deal with Georg and Ward on every truck I build. One call or E-mail and all my problems are solved! Great guys to work with and great product line. If you want a gear box, Georg is the guy to call.

@orangefj45 is the man. Have ordered steering, TC stuff, bearings... all kinds of oddball stuff from Georg over the years and he NEVER disappoints. Have made a couple of trips thanks to his last minute assists, that otherwise, I'd been sitting home. Thanks Georg!

Thank you guys so much for the kind words and ongoing support.

Looking forward to seeing pics from the event and hope it's a success!!!

What Georg said. We appreciate the opportunity to support "real" relics in the field - rigs as well as drivers

We look forward to more opportunities to support end users and our installing shop partners around the country. Maybe next year we can send a relic (Ward) to participate.

I've been looking forward to this day. Below please find a mock-up of the front of the t-shirt for this event.

Jonathan (aka @lumbee1 ) has expended countless hours coming up with and fine tuning the design. Please be sure to thank him and congratulate him on a job well done.

Wait, is that Mr. Rodgers driving the 40 through his neighborhood?

Things just keep getting better and better....

Despite the fact that he is busy packing up to move himself and his business from Atlanta, GA to Boulder, CO, Onur (aka @beno), the owner of Land Cruiser Parts and Consulting, reached out to me late yesterday to let me know he wanted to support our event by donating the new OEM FJ40 radiator, pictured below, as a prize for the General Raffle.

While I hope everyone will patronize and otherwise support our event sponsors, please note that Onur will not be conducting business until June 20th, at which time he hopes to be up and running in his new location. Although he will not be checking emails until then, he will be available for consultation by phone during this time.

Thank you Onur for your generous donation and best wishes for a safe move!

 

[lumbee1]

Thanks for all the compliments on the shirt. A limited amount of extras well be available for purchase at the event.
