Lonestar Toyota Jamboree 2017 Trip Report
Another Jambo in the books and another year where my skin is stained oompa loompa orange from all the dust, but wouldnt have had it any other way. Weather was unseasonably cool for May in TX and it was awesome. The Squirrel performed great and kicked ass on every trail. No major carnage from the group other than one sheared tie-rod end on Daniels toyota. Never seen one sheer off before. I made a couple small character dents on the sheet metal, but other than that no issues. Ran 190* most of the day even with me beating on it. I guess the new water pump and rerouting the steam lines did the trick.

Loaded up Chris's truck and took off early Thursday morning.

Some stuff that needs attention. Tires got into the rear bedsides some. Need to trim out 1/2" or so at the top. Need to make a panel to enclose the center console area. Bitch is hot inside the cab. Also needs some expanded metal in the footwells to keep rocks out of the cab.
Next trip is to K2 on Memorial weekend. Plenty of time for some finishing touches.
