I have a 2002 Landcruiser that is pretty well tricked out. I bought my Cruiser new in 2002, and I promised myself that when it got too old to be a "luxury car," I'd turn it into a war wagon. With the help of a very competent mechanic, I've been true to my word.
I'm also near Denver but tend to do more events with CLC since they're a much smaller club, and as such, have much smaller groups out on the trails. Rising Sun is great and I'm on their forums regularly, but the only trail ride I did with them was insanely crowded.
