Events/Trails Classic Cruise 6 this time I am not joking

[DSRTRDR]

I am not going to limit camping, but just from what I have seen is there isn't very much as far a ground cover until we get closer to the Gila river, but that has never stopped @Stepmurr . It sounds like it is going to happen from the 2 votes so far from @muttsinapig and @brices123 that the 21st is the day that it is going to happen. Although I do have a 3 day weekend the week before and the week after. I think that the 21st is a good weekend because it still tends to be really pleasant weather wise. I would love to have a truck mounted GMRS by that time but I don't know at this time. I do have a hand held so I think coms will be through GMRS. I got rid of my cb last winter because I couldn't hear anything out of it anyway.

Part of me says that any Toyota 4x4 89 and older (including pick-ups and 4 runners) but on my podcast thread in the 40's and 55's tech section i had a somewhat heated debate a while ago as to what a "classic" Land Cruiser consisted of. There the general consensus was any Toyota that originally had an inline 6 and solid front axle was a classic now. That would include the 80/lx450. So do we do 89 & older, pre OBD II, or inline 6 with a solid front axle? In classic cruize 4 @DSRTRDR's partner came along in their 80 to make sure that we didn't go off track which we did a couple of times . Also if 80's are aloud to come then @cruzer971 won't have an excuse that the motor in his 40 is till on the frits. I am going to say 40's, 55's, 60's, 70's and 80's, plus any other pre-OBD II Toyota 4x4 to include pickups and 4Runners. OBD II started in 96 so it is now 95 and older.

As I am writing this I am thinking of who else I can name drop.

thanks for the name drop , but as of current plans, hubby and I will be skiing that week in Utah next spring

also, my 40 is awaiting suspension work before I can wheel it again - frame cracks by spring and shackle hangers

maybe @Jim S. wants to wheel rootbeer ?

also, with that much AZ state land around, it would be a good idea to get a state land permit, just to be legal if suddenly on the wrong spur of a trail

https://azland.my.salesforce-sites.com/recreationalpermit/ (it's $15/individual and $20/family for an entire year; $15 for a group under 19 for several days; details on the website) - and it can be applied and paid for entirely online by now

Thank you for mentioning that I keep forgetting to say that but yes we are going to need state land trust permits

If I have my PZJ70 running, I’ll roll on up.

What would be a good meeting time in Florence since it is about a 12ish mile drive to the trail head or would it be better to meet at the trail head

 

[drenmaster]

Count me in with a HJ61..

Maybe like 9 AM in Florence? Hit the trail by 10 and done by 2 or 3? Never run it so I’m not 100% on length of time needed.

Sounds good to me the trail should be about 25ish miles so about 4 hours sounds about right

Possible trail run commemorative windshield sticker

Although not so Chat GBT. This idea has been in my head for for a CSC Classic Cruize idea for a while now. But my idea is a patina Fj55 with the AZ flag on the side. Still Brain storming

Looks a bit like a 55/60 mashup!

Are you joking?

Before I would say that I was planning one then had to cancel because I couldn't make it

I was thinking about this are we wanting it to be completely a trail run or possibly a collaboration event with T.R.A.L or KDOC. or even something to help vets. Am I biting off more then I can chew, and just go out and have fun in the desert.

For me, as long as we kept it to a one-day (one long day??!) commitment, I’d be down for tackling multiple missions.

I think it is just going to be the trail run but I am planning on bringing my trasharoo with some garbage bags to leave it cleaner then I found it

 

[JakeBP]

Sounds like a good time. If I happen to find a suitable cruiser to add to the fleet in time, count me in!

I took my 40 on a shake down run to ballota ranch / chimney Rock and I pulled my baofeng hand held out of the glove box and to my surprise I had left it turned on. So today I had to find if I still had the charger for it. After I found that I tried to see if it would or could take a charge. This time to my unsarcastic surprise it actually charged. I don't think I will have my vehicle mounted gmrs radio but at least I will have the the handheld

If a 1991 is not too new and I am not traveling for work, I'll go. Also you should add the Events/Trails label to this thread so that people looking for a run can find it easier.
