No doubt @ceylonfj40nut def looking forward to SAS4 and hope the little one and the wife can make it!

No worries on the bolt and washers, anytime man.

Still developing some photos - but for the crew that was repairing @rhah's diff at the top - here's the full time-lapse video (Until the go-pro battery died)

Thanks to Casey, all the Johnsons, Cd as well as all the participants, supporters, and vendors. A incredible event that is really special. We are looking forward to SAS4 and may even have a little one joining us.

Incredible time and made a trip my wife and I will always remember.

Just made it home yesterday after 4,946 miles. We cut our trip short a few days as my wife wasn’t feeling good and I didn’t want to push my luck even further!

Our venture to Los Angeles only lasted 2 hours as the Airbnb we booked was a total fail. No worries though, it was pretty hilarious and we made the best of it driving non stop back to Grand Junction!

Wow and I thought we did a lot of miles! Great to see you again and glad you're home. If you ever get the urge to see the Appalachians just let me know.

Not perfect, but it's a lot better than it was. Also got to apply a little bling.

 

[Dilspec]

Thanks @8cam looking forward to running with you again.

FYI if anyone is still in the area they just opened Black Bear Pass

a really cool dude (Mitch Davis) from PA when we hit the top of Engineer pass. He shot this video of us (Jason, McVicker, Ryan, Zach, Kevin, Will and then the diesel bringing up the rear. Awesome shots and really appreciate him sending this over.

Mitch Davis from PA. He and his significant other were on KTM dual sports and kind enough to film us. I believe we can convert him to cruisers . At least expand his interest into the solid axle Toyota’s!!!

Nice work for sure.

I was browsing a video on the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum website and learned of a much newer (through at least 2007) Land Cruiser model that meets the SAS criteria, but from what I understand it can't be imported to the US. And it was available in both petrol and diesel versions. Could be a more comfortable and modern alternative when I get really old . So it looks like FJ40s and FJ60s are in the future for me.

Any Toyota that has a solid front axle is encouraged to attend SAS. You can always swap a solid axle under a 100-200 John and be extremely comfortable for many years.

Late fall 2022 will be when the first 105s will age-in for import.

Good to know - I'll be down to two Land Cruisers by then, my '71 FJ40 and my '86 FJ60. I might just have to start building back my fleet count in 2022 . And my wife and I are long overdue for a trip to the Heritage Museum, but we'll definitely be there for a visit well before 2022.

Bad driving , or is it really that tough? Glad they are ok. Looked like a nice Runner.

That area in the steps can be pretty loose and off camber. The guy was alone except for his dog so no spotter. I'm betting he stayed too far right and slipped it sideways in a low spot on the left.
