Ben, thanks for posting the link. The fact you contributed is all that really matters. I downloaded a couple and I appreciated having the ability to do so.

Rezarf thanks for leading the trail, nice job u did. And thanks again for the flare rendering, I'm definitely keeping the flares black. I was pretty hesitant to go since I'm still yet to install my traction bar. Someone asked about my new paint and how it held up. The tires seemed to keep the brush scrape to a minimal level on the body, on the other hand my soft top windows took a beating and have a lot more scrapes. But with all that rain I was glad I had it.

It does matter where people post stuff. Do we want to promote google or do we want to promote Rising Sun? :rolleyes:

Thanks for the pics everyone!

I had a great time and would like to give Tim and Adam a big shout out for helping making the run a success. It is always a little slower with a big group, and even a little slower still with 40's but man, what a treat to see so many great rigs out on the trail. For those who care we had:


***17 Total rigs, but Steve left his grey 45 at the trail head so 16 on the trail.
***4/16 rigs had HAM.
***14/16 had CB.
***Oldest rig was a 64? James I think with the Red patina corrugated top 40.
***Newest 40s? I think we had several 82 FJ40, three in all I think? Nak, Adam, and Mike?
***1 FJ45 LV. Thanks Gary!
***2 Cruisers from Colorado Springs (Pueblo) Doug and wife (sorry I forgot your name) and Kyle.
***2 Cruisers from Steamboat (James/wife and Gary).
***The FJ40 Cross country "Baton"
and...
***ZERO break downs! Jackpot!

Everyone had such a great attitude, what a great day, thanks for everyone who came out.

Here are some of my pics.

Excellent! I love your idea for the TT cover too Drew! :thumb:

Looks like you guys went up McClellan Mountain? I take it you didn't go to Argentine Pass?

Nancy and I had a great time. It was a great run for sure!! Our ride back to Steamboat ended up being more comfortable than the ride out.

Oh bummer! What happened?

Photos can be seen here. Tried to get a photo of everyone with their truck.
Happy to send full resolution versions if needed- send me a PM or an email.

Ben, what a great shot with everyone on their trucks! I love it

Yeah we wanted a big photo spot up top, and knew there's nothing like that on the top of Argentine. Over on McClellan we had the entire place to ourselves, could have parked 100 trucks up there. Plus no wind.. we were in our trucks before the wind started and it started sprinkling a bit, was just perfect. Then on the way down you could look over to see the 2-way traffic trying to negotiate around each other on the summit to Argentine, we were wise to just skip all that.

I wish I had taken a picture as Tim grinned ear to ear turning left to go down the fun route. We enjoyed it as well.

I think one of those pictures of McClellan would be a good Calendar shot. I wonder who has the best one :)

Looks like another great 40's only run! I was there in spirit!

If an article is written, make sure to mention it was the 10th Annual!! :thumb:

Toyota Trails would love to publish a story about the 2017 40s Only Run. Yes, you get paid to write.

I still haven't heard back regarding which particular pictures TT wants so I am going to start posting my pictures up here:
