Hello, sorry this seams a bit late, but I will definitly be attending. Mostly because I live here. Any way my pig is not stock. Spring-over, crawler box, Orion t-case, 4.88's with arb's, winch and hopefully I can work out the fuel injection on the stock F. Let me know if I can help organize or anything.
Pig run looks great, hopefully the 55 will be finished. I will have to hit up Lance hard to try and be finished. It is a long way (1700mi), but what the hell. Anyone else coming from the left coast that might want to start a pig train? and if you are collecting pig stats:
'71 FJ55
4.7L V8
FJ80 axles locked
37" tires

isotel..... some of us plan on going down sometime this spring and mapping out some trails for the pigrun. Your help is very welcomed. We will have pigs that are bone stock and others that are heavily modified. If you wanted to show up for the pigrun and help with digging and such... that would be cool too... and ofcourse run with the pigs and enjoy some tasty animals cooked in the ground.
I plan on bringing my 5 year old boy at the very least. At the most I will also bring my three year old boy and the wifey. What's the scoop on local camping? Is there national forest nearby where I can pee close to my tent without someone taking pictures (solitude)?
As for the rig -74 fj55 3 or 4 inch lift (ironman; not sure how much), Chevy 350, HEI, eddy intake, carter comp. carb, dual batteries, T400 auto, disc brake conversion, ratchet shifter, saginaw power steering, 33x 9.5, tinted power windows, sunroof, cd, cb, buckets, soundproofed, alarms. Or "almost stock" if you like
. Or "blinged"? Yeah; "bling blanged". Although I will be ditching the chrome crap under the hood shortly here. If you want a shorter version for the descriptions I suppose it would be "bowtied posermobile". Or maybe "mid-life crisis confirmation cruiser". Or "small genetalia compensator mobile". Or 350/auto, 33's, 4 inch lift, custom interior; yeah- that sounds better.
Anybody know the quickest way from Jackson/ Yellowstone? I assume Denver and the corridor? I will be going back that way for sure; wouldn't miss the chance to see all that rusted metal in one place.

We should have all that scouted out by the end of May. This is a family gathering so we encourage you to bring the wife and kids.
Top Notch!As I said before; I was a chef for years. If you shoot me a date for the pit and the food prep I can probably be of some use. I also have a Sysco and US foods account so I can help with some aluminum foil or various things like that.-Josh
Hey Minipig what supplies are we going to need?
3JVJ is offering foil and the sort.
Thank You 3JVJ

Remember ... this is a family event too....
Right now I am counting on at least 20+ pigs attending. So 20 people... then if half those come with wife, or friend, etc... then we have 30 people.... half of those come with at least one child... well 35..... so lets shoot for 40 to 50 people to feed.
So I really need everyone that "IS" going to attend to send me a PM so I can count on you coming, as wel as the number of people that will be attending with you. That way we can get a much better estimate of those attending.
Events Roster includes to date:
1) Dinner (free, Potlatch so if you wanna bring something that's awesome)
2) Trail runs
3) Raffle event
4) Group photo
5) Photo's of event
6) possible write up for TT.
