Don’t forget me if you do!
NFL games for some can be a conflict in Sept and October. If Sunday, may I suggest Oct 12th as that is an away night game
My cooling system is both doors off and the foot vents open - what's yours?

Same, but was referring to new radiator and hoses. 😆

Sept or Oct work for me. Sunday works, but I'll have to camp that weekend, as other have mentioned as I'll be coming up from Pueblo. I do plan on heading down to the San Juans in Sept (maybe the second week???) for a few days of camping and trails.
good idea from @nakman
"What about this idea: run Jenny Creek on September 24th. bonus campout the night before on Mammoth Gulch (jenny creek side of kingston). Can be a 2-fer on an official club run also. And maybe there could be a 2nd club run on Kingston the same day, we just camp together the night before. what do you think?"

I am out if it is the weekend of 9/23 or 9/30 but if it is any other weekend I am game. Definitely road and trail worthy, Bozeman to Broomfield this past weekend, 699 miles, across 2 days, flawless drive. 2F, 4 Speed, 4.56's and 35's don't do too bad on the highway.

So dates for a San Juan trip...Sept 12-18. I plan on heading down there from Pueblo. Just in case anybody is interested. I'll also look into the later dates in Sept for the Kingston Peak if that is what is decided on.

Is anyone willing to write a story about this legendary run for Toyota Trails?
TLCA pays handsomely for stories these days.

OK all, how does Sept 23-24 look for everyone? Thanks to a good idea from @nakman, I think we could combine at least the 40's Only Run in as well as another work day at Jenny Creek and/or Kingston.
Saturday: Everyone and anyone - run Jenny Creek work day, then group camp on Mammoth Gulch somewhere.
Sunday: 40's Only Run - Kingston. Could also be the second work day run on Kingston.
I am available this weekend after all.
Most other weekends work for me, but want to get as many 40's involved as possible. We also had I think 3 new or potential new members this month who have 40's, and I stopped to help a guy last night with a 40 problem who might join, too!
Thanks all

I can make the 24th work for the 40's only run but have a previous commitment for the 23rd. Would just need a time and a place to meet up with the group.
Well lucky for you you're not yet an official club member, Brett. it's clearly stated in the club bylaws that an owner of a running FJ40 who cannot make the 40's only run must give up their 40 to another club member without a 40 who wants to go on the run. or something like that. It's in there somewhere... right under the part where club officers are entitled to drive any of the other vehicles on the run.

You know me, I'm actually totally game for that!
Somebody needs to enjoy this thing considering I haven't had a chance yet...
I'd need feed back on how the 13bt did on the hills, plus how the cable lockers and/or pto winch worked out!
