Big thanks to Eric LeBlanc in the BJ42 pictured above. He let me ride shotgun on that run and he was the designated tow truck as well. Amazing what a little 4 cyl diesel can do.

x2.. these guys came all the way from CANADA!! :beer::beer::beer:



Tu vois Éric.... Ce qui est à César est toujours rendu à César !

La dernière photo ferait une maudite bonne photo pour un T-shirt.



Hey, how about a picture for the YT calender ?

So I got on this thing finally.

So here I am. I suck at computers and live a life in the dark ages but if this works (hopefully better than trying to upload my pics did) an enormous thanks to everyone and anyone in this club who was able to get a ton of people from all over New England to get together in such a streamlined fashion. I have been around events similar to this all my life and know the pains, trials, tribulations, and sometimes even broken friendships that go along with organizing something involving a lot of money and so many people whom many of us only know by vehicle. (or reputation!:steer:). I belong to many various clubs of different things but I've never belonged to a club with as much camaraderie and kindness as Yankee Toys and I am a very proud member. All year I wait for FG to freeze my ass off, get soaking wet, eat off a campfire, and beat the crap out of the most expensive thing I currently own. 360 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I don't know about anyone else, but I found the water crossings on Trail 1, pretty exciting. Not used to see a bow wake come from the front of my ARB bumper.

you guys did great. You took the time to pay attention to the instructions and followed them great.

That trail was a GREAT stock trail as it offered some good challenges and allowed everyone to push themselves a little. The water crossings done properly is less of an obstacle than some of the down hill descents we had to do.

With the pictures above, I found, ...probably... , that the saturday's trail #1 seam have WAY much water. I have a great video from my truck crossing but I can't capture a shot of to post it ! I have water up to my front fender !
 
Can you upload it to youtube?

Was a Pleasure John.

Again it was a great event, congrats to everyone involved. The 10 hours drive was worth it even with the rain, at least this year it wasn't as cold as last years, so lets hope next year it will be warn and sunny! Thanks to Nat for the great fire and to Mike for the poulet and moutard!! :lol:

My truck ran well, Friday morning i realized my intercooler pump fuse was blown, so i drove all the way down without the intercooler pump running and Saturday notice a badly worn out tie rod end. No Body damage this year!
 
Thanks everyone, volunteers and gatherers. :bounce:

When I was gassing up for the ride home a local couple was chatting with me. He had noticed all the cruisers in the area because he had used them in the Sahara. After explaining in generic terms that the New England Toyota club was having a meet up the road the woman said she hoped we had a good "GATHERING". Where did that come from? :hhmm:

Judging by your vid that water was much higher on Saturday! That would have been up to my seat. :D That's why they come with hand throttles though!
