Boreas Pass, CO, 7/23/07?

I know this is a shot in the dark, but there were some very cool looking, expedition-ready late model TLCs at the Boreas Pass parking area yesterday. Anyone from here? I don't know the specific generations but I think one was an FJ-80 and the other was whatever came after the FJ-80. Both were lifted, with bull bars and skinny tires, and I think they had snorkels.

Unfortunately, we were being devoured by the horseflies and the area was rather crowded so I didn't have time to ask around.

BTW, is there a good resource out on the internet that shows the different variations of the TLC over the years? My knowledge pretty much stops at FJ-60 and 62.

About what time? The Rising Sun had the Ghost Town Run this weekend, so they may have been up there. They were supposed to go over Boreas on Sunday, so if it looked like a group of about 8 or 10 built 4Runners, pickups and/or Cruisers, my guess is the chance you saw them was about 99%. BTW, the annual GTR is hitting a few of the famous ghost towns, mining camps and places along the Colorado Mineral Belt for a state history, camping and light four wheeling trip.

Hmmm...Ghost Town Run? That sounds pretty cool. I was a history major in college so I always love anything historical.

There was a 4-runner there too, but it didn't look built up - don't know if it was the same crew.

Any of these trucks look familiar?

Actually, yes. The black FJ-80 with the spare tire on the back, I think that was parked one space down from mine (with an unmodified 05+ 4Runner in between.) I think there was also a white or silver FJ-80 there that may be one of the ones from that photo.
