Cruiser toys and models!!

[AxleIke]

You think being a mini-truck guy is tough in this club?..... Try owning a 100. Uncle Ben pushed me down in the parking lot last night and told me my truck was ugly They all laughed at me.

I expect all of these posts to be deleted and for this thread to get right back to being awesome.

Too true. Mini trucks have 6 lugs per tire, and we all know how UB feels about anything less than 24 lugs on a Toyota

 

[Squishy!]

I propose we remove the nonsense that derails this thread so we can get back to toys be mini truck or cruiser

I slightly disagree. I think these responses are a testament to who this club is, how we value our members and a critical statement of the type of behavior we will not tolerate. Unless Mike would rather it be taken down (it is his thread after all) I say leave it up. But yes let's get back to the collection!

It's the 'Root rally call!

UB, Crash, Zepp, Ige, Hatfield, Koons, Luer, Slee, Quigley, Yoder - just a few of the names off the 2004 RS roster still active.

I'm missing the '05 and '06 rosters but Root is on '07. Gosh though, seems like he's been a member forever.

The number of DB's we have seen come and go has been amazingly small. None have stayed. Members taking the moral high road does not feed the personality of a disruptor.

The number of great people who have joined and stayed is the true measure.

The Rising Sun Four Wheel Drive Club of Colorado was incorporated as a Colorado non-profit corporation on June 6, 1987. The Article III purpose is "to promote responsible off-road conduct." The Article II period of its duration "shall be perpetual."

This is who we are.

Pretty sure I would have been on that '04 roster as well.

I propose we take the offending party's dues and use said monies to procure Land Cruiser and/or mini-truck toys for Mike...

You should be ashamed for owning a 100 . . . . oh wait

I joined in 04 so I may or may not have been on the roster. Hopefully work will simmer down and I can start making a meeting so I can protect my little buddy Stan from Uncle Ben

08 for Brady and the club hasn't been the same since.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mike on one run. He is one of the most generous and giving, considerate and well I can't come up words that would fully describe the virtues of this great guy..that saved my bacon on the Ghost Town Run. So I will only say that I stand with you Mike.

Just give him his membership fee back and call it good for all sides. I'm not referring to Treeroot.

X2. This new member doesn't get who we are.

A few updates on the Land Cruiser models, since my last post, to get this back on track.

Not mine but pretty cool model for sale on eBay

There are Land Cruiser toys and then there are Land Cruiser toy ads. My Italian isn't that great but, Google says, "His desert is the carpet of your home"

"Il suo deserto è la moquette de casa tua"

"A few of the Land Cruiser scale models soon to be on display at the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum...."
The Tomica Big Foot models in the middle (blue, pink, and red) all went for $500 each on eBay.

Is this your savings plan for retirement?

 

[OilHammer]

Okay Root, you need to plan on doing this to your r/c. He even got the stock fj40 ride down pat with the bounce. Check out min 4 in the video when he breaks a birf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj0eUBsm1Gs

You keep tempting me to open the boxes and play with them...

Really cool video. I am going to build one for sure!

Kevin spits on me and pulls my beard everytime I pull up with my 100.

Back on Topic...

I had a chance to visit the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum in Salt Lake. Very impressive collection of all things Land Cruiser. Quite a few models that I haven't been able to find too!

Thank you to Kbahus for the MicroMachine. Thank you to Caddisfly and my dad for supporting my "healthy" addiction of collecting toys My dad has been looking for toys as well and found one on his last trip to Russia.

Here are a few new ones:

 

[bruce285]

Are you gonna assemble the wooden one? That looks like "fake" dirt under the FJ55! Or is it special museum dirt?

 

[simps80]

Cool!
As sn aside...are you going to braid the two sides of that beard cavern??
Lmao

 

[Uncle Ben]
