Mark or islamoradamark on the FJ cruiser forum still has got badges $36.00 stickers $2.00. everything is sold at cost. as you can tell he lives down in the keys so it's hard for him to make it for trip. i talked to him last night and he said he try to make it. so if anyone is intersted bring cash if you want FYI

I'm moving to the Wesley Chapel area from Boulder, Colorado around that time. Not certain I will be settled in by then so I may not make this one. Put me down as a maybe. I would really like to meet some Florida FJ People so I have someone to wheel with. I don't know many people in the area and none of them Wheel. Thanks.

Not a problem. I sold my heavily modded FJ and Jeep recently and I now have a stock 2010 FJ Trails Team Edition. It is completely stock for now but I doubt that it will stay stock for long. Thanks. :lol:

Regrettably, looks like I am going to miss out on this trip by a couple of days. I was really hoping to be out in time. So the big question for me is when is the next get together after this taking place ? :mecry::mecry::mecry:

windstarfj alot of people do smaller rides on short notice. the more time you plan it out the more will show. it also depends where you want to ride.

roamer sounds great. just to let you know that a few of us are going out to croom friday night to camp. some of us have a long drive. i'am sure i put the info but i'll check. this is probably going to be one of the better turn out i have had most was 14 rigs. so if it get over 20 that would be huge
