ToyotaFest '09

It was nice to finally meet so many of you.... I dont know about ya'll but i had a blast. i'll have pics up tomorrow. but if you missed out, you REALLY missed out. there was a ton of awesome rigs, awesome food, great vendors (yotaworks mostly but the Wired E-drink Girls went too bad to look at either ) awesome times, and great weather. contrats to Josh for Best Racecar.

the toyodge landcruiser was a real clean build but I am not really into cross breeds like toyotas powered by dodge........ but that Chinook was bad a$$ it was blinged out even with the original 20r motor on dual mikini with tons of braided, chrome, paint.

the land cruiser was way to clean/straight to be considered "off road". And yes the chinook was way better to look at in person than pics. Next year there will be an rti ramp or a forklift. Should have been more catagories. Maybe a little explanation on some of the catagories. And shoveling mud onto your truck should be an automatic disqualification on the best mud.

Great pics.
Sorry I missed out, but I had an opportunity to spend some time biking with family yesterday.

Hopefully next year.

Awesome time, great showing!!! It was nice to meet/great you all! I had to leave early, but it sounds like I didn't miss much. Next time I'm going to buy 500 raffle tickets so that I can win everything like the other guys there... There definately needs to be an RTI ramp for next year!!

Vital, there should be a "best campsite" award next year since you had such a sweet setup, then maybe Corey might show up!!!!
hehehehehe!!

I'll post up some pics when I get home tonight.



Whens the next wheelin trip dangit???!?!

I would have loved to. My station is about 10 miles or so from there. But our fire engine is made by pierce, not toyota, so I wouldn't have been able to cruise down while I was at work. I should have sent the wife down there so she can see I am not the only one that keeps buying parts for my rig!

BTW, you aren't supposed to say how the Wired chicks were hot, and then not post a pic of them. Thats just wrong!!

More great pics.
I like that Chinook camper too.

Yeah, I know, but we did the Interurban trail that goes from Algona to Tukwila for a few hours.
Just a nice easy ride.
