@rkymtnflyfisher…I’d meet you in C’da and carry it west if you come across it? Which may take years at this rate to track it down?

How about a 10mm wrench and see if we can keep up with it all the way. Or something sacred and well sought after like an original emblem or gas can or factory power steering gear box

Wiling to participate individually or in a group if this gets going again. Located in South Tx (closest major city is San Antonio). Open to discuss distance and routes to make things work.
So, who’s coordinating now?

Other than at the beginning of this endeavor, it's been "self-coordinating" - one FJ40 owner reaches out to another and a meet-up is arranged:
POTATO LAUNCHER
TLCA #6928
I remember that hand off well. Folks around the Santa Fe Plaza where very confused with what we were doing.

Why are we changing batons at this point?
It would take longer and more coordination and planning, but the TransAmerica trail would be cool. The route is laid out and each person/team could sign up for a portion and unless you lived close, everyone would have their own small adventure to and from the trail. Just a thought. I'm hoping to do all of it after my baby girl is out of school.

Thanks! Makes sense for it to be self-coordinated. Does anyone know who now has possession and location? I saw this asked a few pages back but not sure the answer was revealed.
I say we get together and do that trail anyway. That blue leg would be nice for me.

If they ever get back towards the Southeast, I'm up for a few hundred miles.

Only if there a dirt roads for you!
Since this is the planning thread, and it appears one is in Kanab, UT and the other is in Montana somewhere… do we want to get them both to the west coast and then send them back East? Or have they both already been to the coast?
If either of the items make it southeast, I live down in south florida and can make the final leg down to key west. Would be pretty awesome.
Paging @kblomquist, I sent you a PM

The briefcase case started in ma.
I'd be up for working with the two of you to get it through AZ... a bit of a detour for me but I'd love to take part.
I'm willing to work or play with anyone that's able, just trying to establish communication with @kblomquist right now is a priority, does anyone on Mud know him personally? Maybe he doesn't get alerts? I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the briefcase in my opinion should go full circle back to MA. where the awesome idea started then on to the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum so the inspiration can be shared with more Cruiserheads. Heck, that would make a great Toyota Trails article to read as well. But we got to free the briefcase first.

The briefcase took a ride to the trailhead for a hike to this remote arch with a three-FJ40 convoy - all three of us drivers (me, @Reznugget, and @mesa man) have taken part in the expedition, one of us more than once
. Even though the briefcase didn't accompany us on the hike, it has been to some other spectacular scenic areas of the western US, including Yankee Boy Basin outside of Ouray, CO (at the first annual Solid Axle Summit). BTW, it's still widely debated whether or not the basin was named after @EasternYeti

The combos are 351 if I recall correctly.
just be sure to turn the latches horizontally, like so, to prevent the tear gas cartridge from exploding, in your face.
