Who:

FJ40 Owners!

What:

Just what it says, a run for Only FJ40's! :bowdown::zilla:

When:

Saturday September 26. Meet at 8:30 in the Staples/Margaritas parking lot in Conifer/Aspen Park off 285. This is a little further up the road past the King Soopers area. The Exit is right when you see the Bradley/Sinclair gas station.

Where:

Georgia Pass, Glacier Ridge, Middle Fork of the Swan, maybe Webster (?) or anywhere else we decide to go - there's a lot of trails in the area.

Why:


Because there aren't enough 40's on the trail anymore and all our club runs are crowded with 80's, 100's, FJCruisers and other assorted luxury rigs. :p: Plus it's fun to wheel with a bunch of old-school rigs once in awhile. ;)

How:


Dust off your 40, add some oil, grab your tool bag, spares, lunch, a jacket and let's go.

This is the third annual Rising Sun "40's Only Run". The plan is to meet up in Conifer and head down to Jefferson along 285. We'll head up Georgia Pass and explore some of the trails. These trails should be mellow for any stock FJ40. There a lot of routes we can take, but we can decide depending on the rigs that show up. I hope all the 40 owners can make it. If you don't have a 40, you're welcome to ride along. :)

Sounds like it should be a GREAT time and I'd be there for sure if it wasn't for the fact that I'll be in Germany doing some of this :D

The 40 could have used a good stretching on its legs...You guys have a great time :thumb:

If I can get her put back together and tested out in time for this, then I'm in.

You're off the hook, but bring some back to share. :D

I think the route we'll take shouldn't have any big rock piles like we encountered on Cascade Creek. ;)

No better cure than to head to the mountains. :thumb:

I should be able to make this.

:headbang:

Let us know if you need a hand.

mostly likely in.

If I can find the time and money to get the muffler replaced (thanks AA exhaust!), I'm in. The floor is currently heating up to about 175 degrees with a heat sheild and wrapped...time to replace it.

So TRUE!

I've been looking at the engine bay for a good place for the hot-dogger...I've got a "griddle" right behind the DS! :lmao: Who's up for fried eggs and pancakes!?

Argghhh!

I ordered new headers for the camo 40 and went to install them tonight and the DS bank header has two big dings in the tube!:banghead:

I called Jegs and they said I could warranty them, but they do it UPS Ground both ways! I leave the country on the 9th and don't get back to the 25th. It looks like I'm out of the 40s run in one of my 40s.:mad:

Tentatively count the Blue Mule in. How much of this will be paved driving versus offroad? I'm trying to figure out from your trail description if I can trailer up from Franktown to Conifer and if we'll end up back near Conifer to reload for the trip home.

Oops, hang on, I just realized the trip to Moab is Sept 26 through Oct 1. I think Dee has gotten PTO time off from work so we can go.
