POTATO LAUNCHER
TLCA #6928
SAS #3 dates are 8/04/2019 to 8/10/2019.
Solid Axle Summit is a loosely organized meet up of any Toyota 4X4 vehicle that is equipped with a Solid Front Axle. Any LandCruiser, 4Runner, Mini Truck aka Hilux. Anything that has been Solid Axle swapped is welcome also. Our purpose is to get a great group of like minded Toyota enthusiasts in one spot from all parts of this Mud Community together for one week to do what these vehicles were made to do. Drive several hundred or thousands of miles, wheel some of the most Iconic trails and see amazing scenery from altitudes as high as high as 13,130’ in the majestic San Juan Mountains of Colorado. Then drive them to your next destination. We will have experienced trail leaders for those of you who are new to the area.
Trails will include but will not be limited to Imogene Pass, Alpine Loop, Engineer Pass, Cork Screw Pass, California Pass, Stoney Pass, Governors Basin, Yankee Boy Basin, Animas Forks, Poughkeepsie Gulch and last but not least BlackBear Pass. All of the trails we will be leading require a good mechanically sound vehicle, please have your brakes and tires in proper order. All but Poughkeepsie Gulch are easily done with minor lift, good tires and the ability to drive off road. We feel the majority of people that have these old trucks and are willing to drive them here have what it takes to successfully navigate the trails. I can assure you that if you have any issues while in attendance we will have some of, if not the best, group of Mud people with tools and skills to get you back on line.
This is a Family Friendly event, please bring your kids. SAS is a Family Reunion of sorts. I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new people each year. Pets are welcome as well as long as they are people and other pet friendly. We don’t want you to leave the Fur Kids out of the fun.
We do not provide meals so please plan accordingly. KOA Ouray has a restaurant on sight that has breakfast and dinner. The town of Ouray has many places to eat and many trails will have a lunch destination in Silverton, Telluride, Ridgeway or Lake City. Supplies are readily available also, Groceries, gas, diesel, and there is a well stocked Ace Hardware on main street.
The Jade Bean will be a sponsor again brewing his tasty coffee for all attendees every morning on site. Show up at his Coffee Trailer with cup in hand and enjoy. Many thanks Daniel for providing his fresh ground coffee to get our day started off.
If you can’t attend the whole week please plan on coming anyway. We don’t want to limit your attendance by having a set schedule. The only thing set in stone will be a Group Photo and small raffle on Wednesday night. This allows late arrival or early departure since many have two or three days of travel to get to SAS.
SAS has grown al little each year and we want to keep it that way. SAS #2 had a goal of 50 vehicles. That was easily achieved in short time. This year we are capping it at 75, this is the limit for group attendance without having to apply for permits and legal red tape through the state and county. SAS is a first come sign up opportunity offered only on the IH8Mud Forum. I will keep a waitlist when the max is reached. If a spot becomes available the next in line will be offered. A list of attendees will be maintained below this post so you can verify your status.
