Drive a 45 to the 2007 45 Run!

[bull]

What: Drive your pick of our FJ45s down to Lake Tahoe for the 6th Annual FJ45 Run at deer valley.

When: Labor Day weekend (September 1st – 3rd)

Who: The Bullington Clan and some lucky bastards.

Where: Deer Valley California http://www.californiajeeper.com/deerval/review.htm#Location


Details: We have 3 road worthy vehicles we would like to have present at the 6th annual FJ45 run. Only problem is that we don’t have enough drivers to take them all down. This is where you will fit in. You will have your pick of the litter to either drive our

1967 FJ45 LPB Pick Up

1967 FJ45LV Station Wagon

1983 HJ47 Troopy

The FJ45 run is a family event where not only FJ45s attend, but any land cruiser aficionado can attend. To sweeten the pot there are no fees for attending. It is pretty low key with people leading trail runs throughout the weekend. There is also a raffle the last evening with several people winning 3 times over. There is only tent camping at the site so please take this into consideration.

The idea is to leave Seattle Washington and head south through Bend Oregon. Then down through Klammath Falls Oregon through Reno Nevada and coming up to Deer Valley from the east.


Let me know if you are interested in going and we can talk further. Don’t wait too long as it will be here quicker than you can think. The basic idea is you get to take a 45 to the 45 run!


Here are some pics and details from last year.

Bull,
That's a sweet deal for someone.

very cool idea rodney. i guess this should be the most attended 45 run yet, huh?!

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Who buys gas? Hehehehe

 

[bull]

Depends!

 

[stharris]

Wow that is a great offer. Now I just have to figure out how to drive my FJ and a 45 ;^ )
I guess you wern't kidding about working on your FJ Fleet after jumping Billy G's good ship lollypop.
I am interested, and will follow up later (soon).
I assume that Kelly is going to drive with you?

 

[D'Animal]

Nice offer.

Sounds cool, but I'm afraid if I drive one I will keep driving it and you will never see it again.

No worries..nothing lowjack and a 12 guage can't fix...



too be honest that might be the cure all...for everything

OH MY GAWD! I'm pretty sure I have already dreamed about driving your '67 45 LPB (or maybe it was one just like it). I would love to help...but I live south of you, in Bend, OR. Hmmm...thinking.

That would be a tough decision! I'd love to drive the LPB because it looks like mine, only nicer. And I'd love to drive the troopie, because I really want one. And I'd love to drive the LV; I bet you get some strange looks from people when you're in that one. Too bad I'm in New Mex and won't be making the 45 run yet.

Not to hijack, but my '67 LPB has different taillights than yours--amber turns on the outside, red stop/tail on the inside. I bought the lenses from Toyota for $6 each back in '99 when I bought the truck. Any idea what/when/why the difference?

If you are serious we could probably pick you up and you can share driving duties down.

My rear tail lights are not stock. Stout maybe?

I forgot to add to the fun..

the troopy is diesel and RHD (better gas mileage)

The LV and LPB are both 3 on the tree.

 

[BDP]

That's awesome.

If I wasn't attending the event in my own 45, I'd by a ticekt to drive one of those for the trip.
An opportubity of a life time.

Howdy Bull,

I have checked with the 'ol lady and have her approval. I am looking at my work schedule and I may just actually be able to go. Since I am way down in Bend and if that does not work for you optimally I will understand. We can certainly discuss this more. I will keep you posted. Feel free to pm me if you prefer. Oh yeah, 3 spd on the tree, no problem.

Thanks, Carlos.
