On all my mission work, all the people on the trip took an extra suitcase with them "muleing" extra supplies and medicine...... it seems all those suitcases would be empty for the ride home. SO.... I HAVE AN IDEA!!!

Hey man, great to talk to you last week. Thanks again for your assistance trying to get us some GPS.
Can you share with the TAC folks the website your working with now? I know this crowd wants to know. Also, we need GPS for Tuttle Creek ORV. You got that?
What you are looking at there is my next project 2UZ powered FJ45 sitting on a 7" streatched 80 frame /axles.
Here is link to what the prior owner had done.....

Spotted this cool FJ40 in Lee’s Summit in the On The Border parking lot.

Wow! That's going to be extraordinary!
For mental note--if anyone is curious--I have a buddy in Arkansas doing 1UZ swaps into 1988-1991 Isuzu Troopers (it mates to the Isuzu 5-speed trans). He's done four complete conversions to date (see Facebook Group: Isuzu V8 Swaps)
The website is trailsoffroad.com. It is a FREE online 4x4 trail reference site. I began producing trail guides here in Colorado two years ago. Since then, it's grown a lot, with nearly 100 contributors in 25-26 states (over 1,400 trails in the system).
Every guide is formatted the same--highlight paragraph and a short video, route description, technical rating, GPS track and waypoints with pictures, camping info.
The big idea is to get contributors in different parts of each state to write guides (on trails near them) and update the guide each year. Right now, roughly 80% of the trail guides have been updated in 2018. Our biggest states are Colorado, California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Arkansas. We got new contributors in Texas and Georgia this year, they've both cranked out something like 30+ trail guides this summer.
In fact, J.P. Clark, the guy in Texas, has produced guides on two trails at SMORR. He's also done a few at Barnwell Mountain, and probably a dozen Texas beaches (Padre Island National Seashore, for example).
We don't have any Kansas trail guides completed. One of our Colorado guys went to Tuttle Creek and K-rocks back in February/March, but that was just for an event of some kind. He did write a blog article about it, though!

Anyway, it is online, and you can download the GPS tracks to your phone for use on a GPS app (I use Gaia, others like Garmin Basecamp). So check out Colorado, and load any of the tracks that you want! Then make another trip--maybe a group trip? out here sometime!!!
Here are some screen shots from one of the guides I did, Daisy Pass near Crested Butte.

I stumbled across this site while planning for my recent trip to CO and it was well organized, easy to read, and super informative. It was the only thing I read during the plan because of ya consistency across the board. The two trails I did were very accurately portrayed and each “obstacle” was noted.

Good to see my trailer lights were working.... last time I pulled that trailer one of them kept cutting out.... based on location. Friday night picture? I believe I saw you this morning at QT about 10am in your 40. I’m not quick with the camera though. Almost circled back but always on a time line.
Saw a beautiful 40 going past O'Reilly's on 133rd in Olathe from Blackbob last night (Sun. 10/21/18) about 7:45 PM. Headed west. It appeared to be a light green, but I can't tell colors very well. He was going too fast for me to get a good look. (I know that seems counter-intuitive.....)

That was me. I was driving a 40 I sold about 5 years ago. My family has given me loads of grief for selling it. She is affectionately known as Junkyard Jane. My oldest daughter, Morgan, drove it for most of high school and was particularly sad to see it go. Current owner was generous enough to let me borrow it for the "get away" car for her wedding this Friday. Hence the reason I will not be at tuttle with you all. Morgan is the one on the right.
Must be doing something right. I’ll start taking notes....
First time I've seen a twin to my truck in town and it had some nice goodies installed. If you're on here, awesome truck!
