And if you come in with your leaf springs installed backwards (the pic you referring to) and you wonder why your front axle looks so weird, we can fix that too...

I tell you what, Justin and team saved my ass last year! For those of you that don't remember I had a shock tower snap off on the drive up. The Rusty Nail team was able to weld it back on for me and get it sorted. Not only that but they crawled all over the truck greasing fittings and looking for other issues. Awesome guys and great work. Thanks again Justin!

Nice! It will take quite a bit of work to switch my leaf springs around but maybe I’ll stop by to see if you can get grease to enter my low profile zerks on my rear shaft. Then you can show me what tool to purchase. My needle doesn’t seem to work and I’ve given up and written them off as non-serviceable joints. Ha.

Little more info on Tomboy.
The TL:dr is they hope to have it open soon.

Wild to me what an inch of rain can do in the mountain towns.

I meant to quote your other post. An inch of rain is a whole different story in a confined and somewhat vertical space. We spent the better half of the summer clearing mud out of our supply yard each year in Telluride.

I am sending best wishes with the cooling system mods that you have made. I also have a nice tow strap if needed to get you over the hill climbs ☺️

As I get ready for SAS I will have regular interviews leading up to SAS and I will be getting a ton of content while I am there but the week of SAS I am wanting to pre publish an episode so that I don't have to edit while I'm there. So here is where you come in I want to answer ANY and ALL questions that you guys have about anything SAS, Uma, podcast, stories that you want to hear ask away. All I ask is that you shoot me the questions by the end of the month. So I have time to answer them

I already got a question from @sogncab
 
Ok, the briefcase is dusted off, ready for the trip & to be handed off to??

The round sticker in pic 2 is the Club we belong to: from the Eastern Sierra…in Bishop, Ca.

@Mike Shull I actually do not know. I bet @Mesa Woman is up to speed.
 
Here’s some history. Basically it was to encourage 40 series owners to get out and meet other 40series owners within 100miles.
On the thread for the baron handoff is usually where they find each other, they pick a destination, meet up and pass on the baton. Photos are taken and the receiver (I believe) buys the giver a meal.

There are at least three batons now, 2 toolboxes and 1 briefcase.
Inside these batons there is a book to sign and memorabilia from the baton’s travels from 40s owners.
We have had it a few times and it has made for some great adventures and meeting new friends!

Thread 'FJ40 Cross-Country Expedition: Will YOU join us???'

So here's the idea... originated by @sggoat, since signed on to by several others:

We will create an FJ40 cross-country expedition--one that has Legs running from North to South, East to West and diagonally across the USA (and maybe Canada and Mexico as well?). This expedition will be of a relay format, with some relay portions completed by individuals, and others by groups. We also hope it becomes ever-green, with legs kicking off from time-to-time in years to come!

Why do this??? Everyone will have their own reasons, but would you agree that this would be an excellent way to...

Thread 'Inaugural FJ40 Cross-Country Expedition Official ''baton'' thread'

so with details of FJ40 Cross-Country Expedition: Will YOU join us???
starting to come together, it looks like multiple batons are going to be in order.
several suggestions from the thread include:
a briefcase, to be stickered upon and filled with local points or pints of interest. and handed off with cloak and dagger like meetings, in broad day light and crowded places.
a broken birfield joint, to be handed off.
an empty tool roll, to be filled with tools as it makes the journey.
there was a go pro mentioned as well, but if there is one, shouldn't each
"baton'' have one to go hand...

Thread 'Our Travelogue...'

Travelogue - a speech, movie, or piece of writing about someone's experiences while traveling.
Merriam-Webster



@sggoat (Gary) suggested this... and off we went! What is it? In his words:

"What if---there was an FJ40 cross-country expedition--one that ran from North to South, East to West and diagonally across this great country--it may not need a constant bunch touring the whole Continent, but maybe a relay of sorts-a group of Oregon 40s meeting up with Idaho-Montana, and so on."

It’s family friendly for sure… well at least the briefcase is.
Cool stuff from their home town, Toyota toys, photos, postcards, etc…
