I have buddy who lives east of colorado springs(Falcon)out of city limits
Large property work shop. He even loves cruisers all he has left right now is his sweet 40
He sold his 45LV and 74 55
I could ask if he is game to meet at his place.........

That sounds promissing. See if he is interested.

So if we had it in Colorado Springs how many people think they could make it?
Another reason I need to know is I need to know how much meat to bring for the pit. So could we get a number on the pigs coming and how many people in each?

 

[RHINO]

count me in, CO. might be a bit far for the east coasters, but it seems like the ideal place.

 

[FJBen]

I should be a go for Colorado Springs as well!

 

[tucker74]

I'd be down for that ... we're talking late next summer/early fall?

[bonzai]

so how long of a meet are we talking about 1, 2 days a week ?
Any thoughts

 

[MiniPigg]

We are hoping for a year from now. So ya sometime towards the end of summer and beginning of Fall.

I would think a couple days but thats something else we can all vote on as well. After we get a date set then we have more to work with.

So far we have at least 12 pigs.

How do you guys feel about opening this up to all cruisers
Or are we sticking with pigs only.
I only ask for the sake of a very large turn out

 

[clemson55]

I am in, although it may be in my other vehicle riding shotgun with someone. I can't even get the pig running smooth right now and it doesnt make me feel good about driving out west anytime.

 

[FJBen]

I bet Ige would be down for this...(Nuclearlemon)

 

[Lucy_FJ55]

I should be able to drive one of my piggies to Colorado by next year...

Count me in! I think it's a great idea and a perfect goal to pull this off by next year. I vote to allow other cruisers of course-I like 'em all and I also like the idea of a huge gathering of all cruiser fanatics. Will we be running gnarly trails or will stockers have a chance to show up and at least shine. And how might this effect Cruise Moab?

Lets stick to pigs. Looks like we might have a decent turn out.

Lucy_FJ55.... good to see your gonna make it too.... I love all cruisers.... for now lets make this a pig thing. Plus I kinda like the novelty of having all FJ55's on the trail together. .. maybe later we can open it up some for other's (FJ45LV's?) ... I'm a college student so I am limited to the amount of meat I can donate... if we do open it up we might have to take donations from non FJ55's so we could feed more people. I dont mind cooking the pigs or birds.

Plus 12 FJ55's in one location is allot. I hope we can get more people involed that own FJ55's. I have located another FJ55 owner in Cheyenne so I will see if they are interested as well.

Our FJ55 is 100% stock. I doubt this time next year I would have added any mods or upgrades. So I am still going to be all stock. I fully intend to wheel within the limits of my rig. Some body damage is ok... I know my own limits with my stock rig. Plus im only running 235's...

 

[zornff]

Count me/us in. Might bring the 40 also just for the halibut. I'll talk to PPilard and see if he can make it also. That would make it 14 so far, (well 13 for sure).

 

[cardinal fang]

Well, my pig is definitely not stock ;p And, I finished college a long time ago. 5 times. So I can make a good donation toward any dead animals you want to bring Minipigg. When the time comes next year, let me contribute to the food. Of course, by next year gas may be $5 a gallon and a small fortune to make it to Colorado

 

[bonzai]

Just talked to my buddie in Falcon.
He says yes he would be psyched
We are looking at making a rock course for the meet on his property.

 

[MiniPigg]

"DUDE!" that is fricken "SWEET!"

Does he have a cruiser still?


I have been thinking about what some of our fellow brethern have said about opening it up.. even though its a pig run... what ever you guys think... I just wanted to have a good pig turn out... and if we have this many people saying they might make it... then in a few more months Im hoping we could get more pigs for the gathering. I havent posted on the pig mailing list yet. Infact I havent even read my mail from the pig list... anyone hit the list up yet?

 

[bonzai]

He still has a built up 40
This shoulb be a great gathering

 

[MiniPigg]

I hope its is... has there ever been this number of pigs in the same location?

do you guys want to see if the 45LV wagons wanna come too?
