POTATO LAUNCHER
TLCA #6928
This Year we are Celebrating all things Vintage Toyota 4WD.
All registered vehicles Must be Solid Front Axle 4WD Equipped.
Solid Axle Summit is a loosely organized meet up of any Toyota 4X4 vehicle that is equipped with a Solid Front Axle. Any Land Cruiser, 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 Black Bear Pass pending they are open. All 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 most 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. We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new people each year. Pets are welcome 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 coffee daily. We are planning on having the awesome food trailer back again this year. The town of Ouray has many places to eat and many of the 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. 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 / Weather Pending. If the weather is questionable for Wednesday we will postpone for the next evening if required.
Enthusiasm for this event has grown each year and our goal is to keep SAS as “grass roots” as possible. With that in mind, SAS usually sells out annually in a few hours! This year we are once again limiting the event to a maximum of 75 vehicles. When we sell out, a waiting list will be implemented. SAS is a “first come” registration opportunity offered only on the IH8Mud Forum.
Your registration (once confirmed) will be posted on post #2 of this thread. We will keep a waitlist when the max is reached. We respond to waitlist once a spot becomes available Chanette @80Lady will reach out to confirm.
SAS Registration will include at check in, one event shirt, a trail flag, a swag bag with stickers, grill badge, one drivers raffle ticket, and a few goodies that we are still working on.
We will have a second form that will offer additional shirts, and hoodies, hats ect.. in a few months for registered people.
Ouray KOA Holiday has partnered with SAS to help those registered and attending to help secure your campsite if you wish to stay at the SAS Headquarters for the week. The entire Ouray KOA is reserved for SAS people to assure a spot for everyone wanting one. Jeff Smiddy @ThatKOAGuy will hold these spots up until April 1, 2025. Please give us 24hrs from the time we launch so we can coordinate your registration information to them. It may be less time depending on when we sell out. KOA will be reaching out to each person to make the reservation process much easier. This is a good thing and should really help with you guys needing to book a site for the week.
Do Not Reach out to KOA before the April 1st Deadline to secure a reservation please! They will contact Registered people.
Important: Lodging/campsite reservations are NOT included with your online registration. It is your sole responsibility to arrange for your own accommodations for your stay in Ouray. There are many options available, but the Ouray KOA will be the main gathering place once again.
If you would like to sponsor SAS #9 there will be a separate sign-up page for you.
One of my favorite traditions is that attendees get to vote on the color of this year’s trail flags and shirts. A poll will be available at the top of the page like last year. Your choices are FJ40 colors, we will remove the previous years color from the list and continue until the list moves to FJ60 colors. So please vote when you register. The poll will be open for as long as it allows.
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE at the TOP Please!
SAS is sold out. Please go to this form to be added to the waitlist.
