Non-TLCA member question: trail runs.

[spdwaver]

I saw on the Trail Crew site that there will be a Rowher Flats Adopt-A-Trail event. I would like to attend this event, and maybe bring another non-member along to assist in the cleanup.

Question: Can I join up as a non-member? Probably a silly question, but this is the kind of event I have been waiting for, for quite some time.

Thanks,

Sean

What vehicle will you be bringing? I sort of remember you selling you Fj40?

What vehicle will you be bringing? I sort of remember you selling you Fj40?

Here is the history:

Sold the FJ40 to purchase an 80-series. With that, I bought a 1991 FJ80. '91 was hit by a kid running a red light, then declared a total loss by the insurance company; insurance company paid out more than I paid for the '91, so I bought the 1993 FZJ80 that I am driving now.

Specs:

1993 FZJ80

- 315/75R16
- 2.5" OME Mediums + .50" spacers up front (swapped from '91)
- Custom-fabbed sliders (traded lift swap and sliders for the '91)
- Roof rack (also removed from '91)
- Open diffs: I installed an Aussie in the rear - no more getting stuck in ditches (as was the case with the '91).

I will be fabricating some Metal Tech-style spacers to level it out and increase the lift for clearance, but it does fairly well as-is.

 

[Randy88FJ62]

Sounds like a good start. FZJ80's are way better than their earlier counterparts made in 91 and 92. See you sunday.

I am hoping to be almost completely moved in to my new house by then, but it looks like a go.

Is this run going to happen rain or shine?

 

[bushpilot]

Yes, rain or shine. A little mud cant hurt.

 

[Spike Strip]

Oh yeah? Tell that to the folks in La Cañada...

CYa there.

 

[spdwaver]

It's a go for me. I will not be bringing anyone with me, save maybe my 16 year-old.

Not looking forward to the mud, since I have not yet shed what I gathered from my last run; oh well.

 

[Spike Strip]

What channel CB will y'all be on ? ... (CB, not 2-meter, right?)

What channel CB will y'all be on ? ... (CB, not 2-meter, right?)

We are usually on channel 4, if not try 16.

 

[spdwaver]

Thanks for having me today.

 

[Spike Strip]

A Good Day

All right, let me go get my camera.

Here is an image of the view I had for half of the run.
