Technically, I think Tinker did. I just got to follow. Subsequently, so did Chris

We’re the same with Sassy if she’s not invited/ included we don’t go !!

But I’m sure my next year they won’t remember Tinker
Your good !

Perhaps a convo for outside of this thread but I am also considering taking the Cruiser on a trip to Northern WY in the spring, potentially towards May/June.

I'll kick off that convo with this thread I just started...

Thread 'Wheeling in Wyoming'

Sep 5, 2025

The TL;DR, Looking for Wyoming wheeling/rock crawling experiences.

I've been doing a bit of looking into destination wheeling spots, and Wyoming is a great state for so many reasons, but I just don't see a whole lot of wheeling opportunities, certainly not as dense as Colorado and Utah, and not very much on the harder side of crawling either. Am I missing something?

There's a lot to do and see in Wyoming, and I'd love to relive the first backpacking trip my dad took me on in the Wind River, I'd love to take my wife to a rodeo (we're shorter of rodeos than backpacking in Indiana, that's...

I wanted to pass on an update I received from "Mo" via WhatsApp - I am going to just copy and paste is so you can read for yourself... if you wish...

~Moritz: Hey Bryan,
thanks so much for your message — and sorry I didn’t get back to you right after I got home to say thanks again!
The trip back turned out to be a bit eventful… on the day I left camp near Salida, I ended up hitting a cow moose. So the Land Cruiser doesn’t look quite as nice as it did at the meet — but I’m totally fine, and the bodywork can be fixed.

~Moritz: The truck is in Colorado Springs right now, with my new friend I met from Yosemite. One of his buddies has a body shop and he’s going to take care of it — I don’t really have another option since I’m not around and can’t just move the vehicle myself. Of course, I could also bring it to one of the many Land Cruiser shops in Colorado, or even hand it over to Bruno.

~Moritz: The poster I won thanks to you is now hanging in our office behind my desk — I’m so proud of it, and honestly it’s by far the best travel souvenir of the whole trip. Thanks a thousand times again for that! I also bought a long-sleeve shirt and a cap, and I wear both a lot, always bringing back great memories.

As for how the rest of my travels will go — I’m not really sure yet… I’d really love to head up to Nebraska to visit all my new Land Cruiser buddies. And of course now, after seeing all those amazing builds, I’m starting to dream about a turbo diesel upgrade… It would be so great to be part of this unique community again, and to give something back in return.


~Moritz: All the very best from Europe,
Mo

Glad he's ok! Getting to know him was a trip highlight for me.

Doing some reminiscing tonight...

Big thanks for picking me up on the road and welcoming me into the camp – that meant a lot!
Those days driving some beautiful off-road trails together were truly unforgettable, both for the scenery and the great company.
Yours,
Moritz

Was advised by a friend I should share this link here with the SAS community.

Godspeed Terry.

For Sale Thread 'Sahuarita, Arizona 1974 FJ40 FST'

Sep 18, 2025

First things first, this is a very fragile listing that I will try my absolute best to represent and make as smoothly as possible for all parties involved.

October 28th will mark two years since the Cruiser Community lost a loving husband, father and grandfather Terry Lane Mud Member @AZOKIE.

Shay, Terrys wife has "Rhino" in Sahuarita, Arizona and it is being listed for sale today. The first group that will see the listing is the ih8mud community. I am assisting with coordinating folks to schedule appointments to view the Cruiser or answer any specific questions I can help with...

I still haven't made my 60 reliable enough to drive from Austin to Durango. So sometimes you have to dance with the partner who brung you. Velocity Basin. The colors are almost at their peak.

A couple of us went up to Velocity Basin this year. Really pretty.

Love this photo, edited it a little but great photo and rig

I mean, it is a Telluride. You'd think it'd handle Telluride just fine.

Ok philosophical question from a newb, if no one’s looking and you just nudge him out of the way, do the trees at the bottom make any noise?

 

[clrussell]

I wondered as well

 

[John McVicker]

I try to not bash folks that get ‘stuck’. It can happen to anyone. I’ve had to winch myself more than once, I’ve been winched more than once. I’ve had to winch my friends out…it happens.

BUT…From what I’ve read, this Kia situation is just plain dumb & unbelievably poor judgement. Rental car, not what we would call a built 4WD, going the wrong way in the ‘one way section’, etc. Now his plain stupidity is putting a burden on those that want to actually use the trail.

Whatever fine he gets…if any, is well deserved.

You are supposed to pull your brake light fuse and wait until after midnight to run Black Bear backwards.
