40s Only Run

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

As the venerable FJ40 has become more and more of a collector vehicle, it seems fewer of them are being seen on the trail. In 2007, Rising Sun held its first-ever 40s-Only Run. Many 40s showed up! The first shot is a group pic. The second shot is Jerry Ekberg’s ‘77 with 400cidn stock drive train, and 35″ BFGs. The run was held on Kingston Peak, CO. Pictures by Kevin Ehrlick.
