decal design
If I do a variation on this decal with an LC -- let's say maybe a 40 -- would there be interest in that? Your suggestions are welcome but I would need to do the design within the next day or two. Let me know! If there's sufficient interest, I'll do a run of Land Cruiser decals and put them up for sale in the next couple of days.
 
Yes I would take at least 3. I am not partial on the series because I have a 40, 45, and 60. I just don't care for the fj. I would even order 2 more shirts, if you had time to send them to print. I would even order them after the event.

Put ME down for a shirt and a sticker, 80 series of course!

Historically, the Surf and Turf has been a Landcruiser event. It has only been recently that the FJ Cruiser crowd has infiltrated this event and although I like FJ Cruisers, I don't consider them a landcruiser. They also have a bunch of FJ Cruiser only events that they can attend each year so I kind of feel jilted :mad: that now they are featured on the T-shirt. Kind of like "lets just shove the old guys out of the way because we (FJC) are here now"

The FJC community has its own website - well two, actually (NorCalFJs.com and SoCalFJCruiserForums.com), so it's natural that events would be organized on these forums and within the groups themselves. I can't speak for the members of NorCal who've been a part of the group since its inception because I've only been in the group for a year (last year's SnT was the first time I met anyone in the group), but I'm all for being inclusive, and many of my new NorCal FJ friends feel the same! I've been on NorCal runs that included Runners and old 80s pickups. A handful of NorCalFJ owners have sold their FJs and bought 80s. To be fair, some people in the FJC community feel that the LC community doesn't like them because an FJ isn't a "real" Land Cruiser. All I have to say is - who cares, the more the merrier, and enough of this division.

About the t shirt and decal design: When I was first asked if I would do the artwork, I was not on this website. Because the facebook event page sprouted up within the FJC community, we decided to put an FJ in the art work. We assumed the Land Cruiser folks would have their own event t shirts, etc., and, well, leave the FJCs to the FJCs. We never intended to make anyone feel left out. I just designed an FJ60 version of the decal that I'll post up. If I have time, I'll do one for the 40. There WILL be TnS decals for all you LCs! Stay tuned. I am not printing the t shirts. A friend in SoCal FJs is. He is all for including the greater LC community. It's a bit late for him to print another design, but if there's sufficient interest, we'll see if we can cobble something together.

@Colonel Mustard - we should meet at the beach, and plan some Any-Kinda-Cruiser-You-Got events!
 
DAS FJ60 decal design!

Sounds awesome to me! Thank you!

Here it is! This is a 60, but it's not too terribly different from an 80. I will try to do a version with a 40 if I have time tonight. Please do not ask me to do any more versions than that :bang: It's late in the game, and I actually have a day job ;) in addition to my graphic design and decal-cutting tasks. My first love in high school drove a red and white FJ55, and I feel a pang whenever I see one, but I need to limit things here. I hope you guys understand.

Please give me feedback!

...and I'll see you on the beach. Somebody'd better bring me a :beer: for all this last minute work!

If you want to find me at Pismo (I'll probably have a small handful of decals on hand, but I'd great prefer advance orders on my Etsy store page when I have the updated decals posted SOON), I drive a black cherry (aka Man Purple) FJC with a wicked unique custom bumper, and I'll be flying the decal logo on my dune flag. I'm coming in on Friday night, and I hope to meet a lot of you guys.

Okay, I'm hoping this FJ60 decal jpg shows up...

What's Etsy? Etsy is an established and well-respected website where artists and designers sell their stuff. I already have a store there, so I'm selling the decal there. You do have to register on Etsy to make a purchase. You do NOT have to enter your real name when you register. Note that the first two text fields are OPTIONAL. All you need to provide is a user name of your choice and an email address. You may check out as a guest on PayPal. If you are prompted to enter your full name and address, I am the only one who will see that through my store account, and I can mail your decal to you if you don't get it at the event. If you don't wish to register on Etsy, track me down on the beach - black cherry (Man Purple FJC) with custom front bumper, current TnS logo on the dune flag, and Eat-Sleep-FJ sticker in the center of the rear window - I will have a small amount of decals on hand to sell. Cheers!
