I'd be interested in hooking up with this club. I looked at the '19 calendar of events. Looks pretty fun.

You most definitely should join us for some camping and wheeling! I've been mostly inactive for the past year, but will be able to attend events again in April.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I am going to try and catch the cars and coffee event this month.

I have been trying to contact this group via their website to no avail. Have had 2 LCLC cards placed on my truck. Can someone please advise as to how to join? Sorry I missed the get together on the 23rd at Towne Center.

Summer 2018 - Overhaul Project - After cruiser had sat up for almost 6 years, was ready to get out and start wheeling again. "Pepe" (The Little Mule) needed some love and fresh shoes. Had set a target of the 2018 ATR in Wind Rock Labor Day weekend to have him back and running. Trip was planed with 4 other trucks on a father/son trip. Would be my 6 yr son's first 4x4 trip.

Great to be wheeling again. Looking forward to GSMTR 2019, Uwharrie, back to N. GA for Earl's/Sandy Ford and Sarah's creek trails and some hometown forestry roads here in Francis Marion. Renewed my TLCA membership and just got my first new copy of Toyota Trails - what a great magazine and source of inspiration to get out there and use these trucks.

Is anyone a former member of the old 80sCOOL Yahoo group?

Have owned and worked on the 3FE for almost 20 years now, daily driver is 2001 LX 470 ( my 5th one). Always happy to help trouble shoot an issue or idea.

Sounds like a cool truck, nice to see one that is wheeled here.
