New Members
- Jeff Parsons
@kyoso3 - Black 2004 UZJ100 with 189k miles, which he has had since September. So far he's put on an OME lift (soft) in the rear; plans on getting a diff drop soon and diff breather kit. When he first got it there was a bad vibration and he had to get several things fixed related to the drive shaft. Now everything is running smoothly. He hasn't off-roaded it much but has done Crown King and the coves over by Saguaro Lake.

- Marcus
@Skrugg - Green '97 FZJ80 with 256k miles. He found it while on vacation in Reno, so he never ended up taking his flight back he just bought the truck and drove it back; the truck needed new tie rods and tie rod ends when he bought it, but other than that the truck is mechanically sound. He's planning to do a lift soon but there are a lot of options to weigh.

Drawing of the Month Ideas
We are looking for ideas for the raffle items for the Drawing of the Month. Previous items raffled were ARB Snatch Strap and Coyote Deflators. Someone has suggested a Hi-Lift. We should be having another DOTM coming up soon.
Other Business
@Dimples and other folks on the West Side of the Valley are interested in hosting another West Side meet-up (just like the last 2 years). We are gauging interest to see if enough people would be interested in attending that again, potluck style. Keep your eyes out for more information. Possibly this will be happening as the location for the July meeting....
