For some reason I don't feel like I should be using my Expedition Americas blog anymore. This is a very long read so I don't expect anyone to read it but it has some pretty pictures. :grin:

After having been to the San Rafael Swell with some of you for the last two years, and enjoying the experience and the company immensely both years, I have decided to out myself.

My name is Tom Blair. I love Land Cruisers and I am no longer ashamed to say it.

For those of you who were at the Swell run this year, my brother, my dad and my daughter Kait were in attendance. For those of you not there, I was the best looking one in camp.

I live in Lehi, across SR92 from the IMFT plant, and have been here since late fall of 2006.

I work in Orem, UT at a mid-sized company named Moxtek. We make high end polarizers (think components for RealD 3D projectors, high end home projectors, etc.) and x-ray tubes, detectors, and windows. I won't bore you with the details. My job title currently is Project Engineer. But for the most part I work as a Sr. Process Engineer. I have two degrees from (hurts me to say it...) BYU in Manufacturing Engineering.

I have one wife (important to clarify in this state) named Tammy and four kids: Collin (13), Kaitlin (12), Kieran (7), and Eamon (4).

I currently own three Land Cruisers: 1996 LX450, 1982 FJ40, and a 1976 FJ55. The LX450 has some mods, the FJ40 is mostly stock, and the pig is mostly rust and holes.

In addition to my Land Cruiser habit, I also ride road and mountain bikes, skateboard, and snowboard.

My musical preferences are punk rock, psychobilly, hardcore, goth, some metal, and a lot of weird stuff that isn't easily categorized.

I am looking forward to meeting and interacting with more of you.

Talk Soon.

Need to be the larger jars (about 6-8" tall- quart size I think) with the old zinc lids.

I'm working on a project which requires 16 of them, I currently have 8. (would like 1 as a spare in case I drop one).

$5 ea plus shipping.

If you only have lids, I want those too. My project is at a standstill until I find more lids. I've got lots of the clear glass jars, but no more zinc lids. ]]> General Classifieds Doc http://www.wasatchcruisers.org/vbulletinfrm/showthread.php?9095-WANTED-Old-canning-jars-and-lids Overland Expo http://www.wasatchcruisers.org/vbulletinfrm/showthread.php?9094-Overland-Expo&goto=newpost Mon, 14 May 2012 05:10:58 GMT Who has two thumbs and is going to Overland Expo next weekend outside of Flagstaff AZ?

Jimmy's "code" was not working...at least until the 4 pieces or so that he left at home arrived the next day...





Devils Racetrack was a blast...only one flat in the group and it was fixed in no time...





Lunch time down in the wash and a chance for my co-pilot Scott Howe to get out and hobble around...it was great having you along Scott.









Then the rain came, sometimes in sheets...which, to me, made the day even better...









I guess rainbows don't always lead to a pot o' gold....

Looking out the window, you see your '72 Bronco sitting in the driveway and wonder, "Are there others who pine for the good old days? When the pace was slower, more relaxed."

Well, you're in luck! The 2012 Relic Run is for people just like you. The Relic Run is a vehicle assisted overland adventure that guides participants to unique locations throughout the state of Utah, only in 1970's and older vehicles and encouraging participants to take the spirit further by only using '70's and older camping gear as well.
