Someone looked at the 4runner the other day.. Says they're coming back tonight to drive it home. We'll see. Ya never know with craigslist!
I went to the bank today, they want me to have their money so, we're a go! Just need to find a 2009+ Taco DoubleCab Longbed 4x4 TRD Sport with around 75k miles. It's surprisingly more difficult than it sounds.

You better not get silver!!! Kidding, get whatever you want. If you get silver we can start a new club...the silver 2009+ DoubleCab Longbed 4x4 TRD Sport with around 75k miles club!

This is pretty much the exact description of mine. I'm at about 84k miles.

Haha! I know man. I thought about the same color thing too. I really want black but, silver is in the top 3. Oh well. Twinsies!

You can't get a TRD offroad in a DC/LB, they only come in a short bed. So, ya gotta get a Sport in that configuration. I like the scoop and can live without a locker so.. We're good. I like how the longbed looks much more.. I'm not ready to settle for a shorty although they are readily available.

I agree, I think the LB's look better...and they're more useful.

Gary, what's your deal? We'd be happy to ride with you and pay gas money... but as of now, I plan on driving.

Talking to some of the GURU guys on FB now:
Tent camping only and it's free. People that aren't staying will park on site, people thst are will park about 100 to 200 yards away. Porta john on site. We will have a community bonfire with wood provided. Mike Kirby will be selling food during the event, but you're more than welcome to bring your own. We don't have a grill big enough for everyone to use, which I'll take care of next year. We will have a battery charging/soldering area in the barn.

Alcohol is only allowed in the evening, not during the competition. And in moderation. ANY ONE that gets out of hand will be removed from the site

1 community fire
Porta potty
Walmart 10min or so
Alcohol in moderation fri and sat night
Wood provided
Bring water
Parking
Bring your own grill

Food is for sale and no cell service.
Yeah....

I just picked up a spare mmp and programmed it tonight. I have a Deans but didn't solder because no bec... they will have soldering stations there so I'm betting that if one of us needs it for the comp, we can find a bec (or skip it).

Rear diff in the summit is rebuilt. Hardened gears, aluminum diff cup, new O rings, shimmed, and 500k diff oil. Hopefully it holds together now. That T8 is naughty...
