Getting close.

Getting close.

I start counting the days until swap meet at least a month before.
Always a highlight of the year to see all the awesome trucks and chat with folks.

Are well-behaved dogs allowed at the event, or no? I thought I remember seeing years ago no dogs allowed per location policy, but last year a few folks brought their pups with them, so I wasn't sure.

 

[TRT2]

There is no such thing as an irresponsible pet, just an irresponsible pet owner. I believe your leashed dog is welcome unless there is a facility regulation against. OK to bring a sunshade too, even if just for the seats around the raffle area.

Amazed at how many folks I met on the Rubicon this last weekend that are planning to attend! Raffle at Noon this year to help move things along. Remember, all raffle proceeds will be donated to the #LiveLikeLash scholarship fund for children and grand children of TLCA members. For me more information, visit the TLCA website or simply google it.

Is anybody looking for any parts in particular? We have room in the truck and can bring specific items but don’t plan on having a “seller spot” at the event.
We also have a few of the Ecoflow River battery packs left if anybody needs one for this trip or otherwise. Can deliver those as well and charge them up before the trip if needed.
They’re $175, suggested retail is $349.

Awesome video, thank you for sharing!
It was great to see you yesterday! Your 2nd gen 4Runner build always continues to inspire me to keep working on mine!

Thanks! I am actually getting started working on it again this week. Steel for the bumper has been purchased. The swap meet was the motivation I needed to get back on it! Would be nice to hit the Rubicon before the snow hits this year

I snapped a couple of pics. Always a fun event and great showing.

Trying to match faces and Toyota's with forum names... you have the green 3rd gen 4Runner? We have the white 3rd gen with the "not for sale" sticker.
