Thought I'd install the headrests I've had stashed away for my FJ40 bucket seats, I bought them at a local pick-a-part when we lived in Las Vegas. They're from a Mazda 626.

Waiting for the paint to dry in the areas of the rear ambulance doors where I removed some old weatherstripping and took care of some surface rust. For now I'll install some aftermarket bulb-type weatherstripping, mainly to keep the doors from rattling so bad - about drove my wife and I crazy yesterday bouncing around on the dirt backroads of the Valles Caldera National Preserve. Little by little we'll be ready for the drive up to Taos tomorrow.

@POTATO LAUNCHER, what highway will you be taking on your way into Taos? We'll be taking the High Road to Taos from Pojoaque (last portion on NM 76), intersecting with NM 518 just west of the Sipapu ski area, then into Ranchos de Taos.

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

Excellent John. Great place to get lost in.
We will be directly North of you on HWY 64. EagleNest, Angel Fire then Taos.

Wife and I are headed to Durango/Silverton/Telluride this Saturday for a week. We probably won't get there till later in the day Sunday, but would love to swing by and say hi. Are there any trails planned for Monday, or is that when everyone is headed home?

We'll be in my FJ40 towing my trailer, coming in from Vegas (Page, AZ on Sat night).

I'll likely still be in the area, I have the two weeks after the event off of work but no plans for the extra time.

Would be great for you to stop by.

Sounds great, how many rigs are you thinking you'll have so far?

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

Last count is back up to 29. Good size group of Cruisers.

Two days until this kicks off fellers!
Been sorting swag all morning. If your name is on the list then you will recieve the sizes requested. Cost of production was $20 each. Payment is not required but my bank account would greatly appreciate it. Find us in 4J campground Thursday afternoon and pick up your stickers and shirts.
A big shout out to @woody for providing the forum for us to keep these things Cruising.
Looking forward to meeting each if you Cruiser nuts in person. Safe travels to all, see you in Ouray.

So unfortunately it is looking like I won't be able to make it with my move/work being pushed to this week/ early next week.

Since I am on the list for a t-shirt and had planned to be there, let me know how to pay for shirt since I won't be able to make it. :/

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

No sweat man, sorry it didn't work out. Plan on next year for sure.

 

[Mr Cimarron]

Made it to Amarillo with no issues. It was a rare Texas summer day which was cooler by 20 degrees it seemed. Perfect for the drive.

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

Yessir, I've been in the garage most of the day. Very pleasent out.

We got some full strength beer in Moab at the brewery. It's pretty sad when you have to say full strength please.
