figured i'd let you all know that the rising sun rally dates for 2008 have been set. saturday august 9th is the rally itself, with wheeling on sunday. same place. hope to see a bunch of ya there. :smokin:

if you don't know about it, you can check out the risingsun4x4club.org website for details, but it's a fun event. basically, a show (off) and shine/swap meet. we gotten about 400 rigs or so both the years we've done it. vendors. we're going to try to do a raffle again this year.

I'm glad that you took my advise and moved the date so it isn't on my anniversary :D

Should have no problem attending this year.

Mark.

I "might" even get to attend, depending on when the Army lets me come home for R&R. I know it will be sometime at the first part of August.

Haven't been to one since 99 I think.

Ill be there! :grinpimp:

sweet...see you all there:)

this weekend!

I'm hoping that it isn't as hot for you all this year. This get together is a lot of fun.

Will all the RS guys be wearing matching clothes and watching movies like on the Rubicon? :laughing:

supposed to be 90degrees:(

and i'm only a half 80 person, so i only get the movies that are on beta:p

thanks to all who showed! had another great turnout! great to see so many "rare" rigs! we had three beautiful fj45lpbs, a 45lv, bj74, bj70 and a beautiful non us piggie complete with amby doors! fjcruisers galore! not so many pickups this year, not that i'm complaining;), but there were quite a few cool setups. one guy even brought his fj40 chassis with powertrain...doesn't sound like much, but it was immaculate! can't wait to see it with the body attached next time.

still gotta get my pics off the camera, but i know a few have started linking to their photosights on the rising sun website.

thanks to all who made it! here are some pics for those that are interested.

that's one of spiderleg's toys. he does 4x4 tours. only 40 i know that seats 14 comfortably. i do agree that it is a bit barfy looking though:barf:

the back section is cool the way it gullwings open though.

My old '72 is lost somewhere in that creation:(
