FJ40 Cross-Country Expedition: Will YOU join us???

[FJmaine]

Is a regular steel tool box, it’s got all kinds of stuff in it. I got roped into this thing without understanding what the point was and I stalled it for like… forever.

If you want to ship it to Maine, I will start bringing it south. I have a trip planned at the beginning of July to go to VT in my 40. Would be fun to connect with someone there. If July is too soon, I'll be making another VT run in October.

What is the history behind the brief case and the tool box?
Why is it important to move them around the country?
Is there something special about having either one in your possession?

Travelogue - a speech, movie, or piece of writing about someone's experiences while traveling.

@sggoat (Gary) suggested this... and off we went! What is it? In his words:

"What if---there was an FJ40 cross-country expedition--one that ran from North to South, East to West and diagonally across this great country--it may not need a constant bunch touring the whole Continent, but maybe a relay of sorts-a group of Oregon 40s meeting up with Idaho-Montana, and so on."

I’m in Sacramento CA - could meet you and drive it there too and pass it off so it goes East or wherever- vs take back to CA

Fun Fact folks. The second interim briefcase has made its way back to me via NY state.
I received it from Kurt @cruiseroutfit
Christmas time 2 years ago. Handed it off at Lonestar Toyota Roundup that spring.
Ill be bringing it in my 40 to SAS 10. Both briefcases will be there to send back out. Just don't hoard or loose them this time.
