I vote for the Runner. Though I'm sure the interest would be there to see the "new" ride (nice pics by the way), I think a lot of folks who haven't seen your 4Runner, would like to observe some things and give it a look see. I'd like to see your rear bumper up close, but really, bring what you want.

I too voted for your Runner Steve.
You have fixed that up to be a nice trail beast.

I'd fix up the FJ62 some, but I would not wheel that thing to hard, it's in to mint of a condition to even put a scratch on it.

That's a nice rig, and will last with some TLC.

Please bring the 4Runner. It has become such an icon it would be a shame not to share it with us.

IMHO, the runner because it's rare and very capable with the 2 lockers, super low gears, 33's, and gobs of other mods you've done to it. I'm sure we'll get to see the Land Cruiser in future years after you mod the heck out of it, too.

OK, I'll bring the 4Runner, it rides alot smoother anyway. As long as there are no RTI contests. The FJ would win that for sure.

Watch ELMO flex.....................FJ-62 style.

If you think SAWs or Kings are expensive: I could have bought 3 pairs of SAW's for what I spent on the FJ-62's all OME setup. Leaf springs are expensive !!!

It is after all the 4Runner Jamboree, not the Land Bruiser Jamboree.

Yea I think they would all love to see the 4runner steve. I thought it looked really sweet when I saw it a few months ago after you had put your crawler in.

Yeah, take the 4R. And then take the detour through Cali on your way home.

What ever you want to do in the privacy of your own tent at night is up to you, just try to keep the noise down.

I don't know, I did not vote. 31" AT's are on the way as well as 8" rims. I ordered them a week ago?

I don't know, when I was at ASU, someone pulled up in a tan '60 and told me something disparaging about IFS rigs, I can't remember exactly what he said...

Bring the runner, that crawler is super cool and makes things really fun to watch. It may open some eyes and get auto crawlers in Marmot and Mr. Hunt's runners and that would be cool.
