2014 Lonestar Toyota Jamboree

This is our 3rd year to sponsor the Jambo and will of course be there.

We will be leaving west Fort Worth at 8AM Thursday morning, swinging around 820 to I-20 and headed east. I'll be on Channel 19 and driving my Iceberg FJ with the matching trailer and OD Green top/cover so I'll be easy to spot. Feel free to join in and caravan if you are headed that way.

I have been swamped with a 3.4 & 4.3 swaps and my 95 isn't ready. So I am behind and leaving Friday afternoon instead of thursday, bringing a stock 86 to play in.

I hope we have some great weather ! I can't wait to hit the mountain for some relaxing wheeling and check out the rigs !!

See yall there, drive safe

Me and a buddy will be heading out there sometime on Friday. My TE will be staying behind but we'll be taking his 95 land cruiser. Looking forward to meeting up.

Not sure, depends on when I get back out of the shop for my re torque. We'll probably be heading up 59 though.
 
Brother and I are heading out Friday morning! We'll be sportin' a white 97 4Runner with dents and scratches galore. Can't wait for some weekend wheelin'!
 
I drove up Thursday night and stayed through Saturday's photo shoot. I didn't know about the raffle not happening until last night so I missed that. Great fun, pleasant weather, and I intend to go again next year. This was my first Jamboree so I will be better prepared next year. I had the ONLY 2014 4R up there until late yesterday morning, and I was really pleasantly surprised at how trail capable it was. I intended to do the easy trails on Friday and if my confidence went up maybe try some moderate stuff on Saturday. Little did I know as we did their first ever Night Fun Run Thursday night and I was thrown to the wolves with some moderate stuff during that drive! I lightly dinged my Nfab step bars a couple times, but not enough to hurt anything. This is my first off roading since the early 80's, and we went down trails I would have seriously thought twice about with my 78 CJ-5 back then.

Yours wasn't the only 14 T4R. I got there Thursday night in my 14 UnLimited. You probably didn't see it if you were not on the trails much. I REALLY put mine through the paces and it was awesome! I took a bunch of FJ guys on runs and they came back impressed.

Wow! Sorry I missed you. We made the Thursday night fun run, 2 group runs and a solo on Friday, and 2 solo runs on Saturday (groups were full when we went to sign up). I thought I was really looking hard for the new front ends, but I flat missed you completely. I did run into another 2014 Trail guy Saturday. He still had temporary plates from Virginia on his and had just moved to the Dallas area IIRC. I'll admit I tried to stay on the milder trails. I haven't been off road in decades, and frankly I didn't want to tear up my new toy and daily driver on my first outing. We did get into some interesting level 3 trails and I did have more fun than I was expecting. This could get addictive. :biggrin1:
