Anyone here going to FJ Summit this week?

[codyaustin5]

This will be my third year going. Curious if anyone else here will be taking their 4Runner?

Here is the link for more info. It is a ton of fun and is a great area to visit if you have never been to Ouray.

harper7 is there right now. I talked to him on monday and he said he was there...so be on the lookout for him! silver limited debadged with trail parts all over it, and it's all clean work too, all done by him. It's ridiculous.

Looks like Gadget will be there too. I'm guessing/hoping Harper will peek under his hood and give us a report.

FJSummit 2011 National Meet

Yep, I'm up here but staying at a cabin in Cimarron ,not in Ouray but I'm down there every day. I saw eight 5th Gen 4runners in Ouray today and around the Best Western tonight. Only Gadgets with his new suoercharger and another one besides mine were heavily modded. TRD had a tent set up and they said they are going ahead with a supercharger for the dual vvt-i engines and will be next year. URD's SC is done now.

Here's some pics.....my daughters

Gadget's Sweet Supercharged TE-Budbuilts front and rear bumpers are a work of art when seen in person.

Not sure who's 5th this is, but super dirty like mine, the way they should be.

Did I read that right? TRD will develop the S/C? Which means it will probably be 50 state legal which means I can SMOG it in CA. That's great news.
How come we don't have a 4Runner Summit? Or maybe we do and I'm a noob and don't know about it. The FJ Summit appears to be open to the T4Rs as well.

Yes trd just said it will be released next summer. No performance ratings yet. They did say no v8 for 4runner. The fj summit is open to all toyota's but 99% are fj's. Lots of fun though.

That is some serious lighting on the other 5th gen!

Is it always in Ouray or Colorado in general? BTW, you got the good beer in Fort Collins, New Belgium FTW.

 

[codyaustin5]

Yes every year is in Ouray. This is the 5th year. We try to come every year. This year there is about 500 people. Lots of great sponsors and people. TRD said the v8 was originally planned for the 5th gen but got nixed last minute. They are really excited about the new th SC as it will have better components than previous version. I do like new belgium but to be honest check out o'dells which also in Fort Collins. My fav is easy street, 5 barrel and 90 schilling.

Man, that is so awesome Harper! I can't wait for URD or TRD's supercharger. It looks like Gadget's is using the stock airbox? His truck looks awesome.

I really want to go. Next summer I have two weddings to go to in July, so it looks like 2013!

Is it just me or does that URD super charger look like something based on Cylon technology?
