I figure by this point, why not open up the subject of press coverage that all of us get to experience?

I know I've seen Lance's (Light Advertisement) truck, as well as Jamie's (http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=2662.0) get coverage in 4WDTO, or inherently another publication, but in keeping in tune with the topic and hopefully getting some feedback going between David, Ben, and the guys, lets focus on the 4WD Toyota Owner coverage. :D

I'll start the game off with the issue I just picked up (while waiting for my mia issue to arrive).

Jan-Feb 2009 Issue..page 27, R/H Middle.

What a beat up looking chopped and bobbed blueish 4Runner sporting beadlocks! :flipoff: Maybe he'll (http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=566.0) chime in and admit it too. ;) Nice shot, get any time for an interview done or being considered for an article at all? Post up a newer shot in your garage so folks can follow the progress without back searching the "exo to ino" tech??

*Remember, keep things light spirited and fun, and well, as asked relating to 4WDTO' coverage, as they deserve the support for working on such a great magazine! :D *Dave, quit the lurking and post up too!!

*The Answer..

that has got to be the ugliest thing I've never seen!!!

now hand the damn keys over to me so I have something fun to drive :)

Unfortunately I don't have a subscription to 4wdTO :( Just can't justify getting any subscription to any magazines so I'll have to lurk and read someone's leftovers. I'll see if I can swipe one from Demello ;)

My truck's been in there? Must have been a TC ad or something.

It's a magazine dedicated solely to Toyota off-road enthusiasts. Nothing but Toyotas in it! :thumbup: They've been in print for about 2 or 3 years. You can get a subscription here: http://www.4wdtoyotaowner.com/, and I think Barnes and Noble bookstores carry them as well (I know the one in Hampton, VA did).

It's a pretty good magazine, and it's fun to see how many people you know are in it. The current issue has some of my pics in it from SE4RJ, including the cover picture of Mark's 4Runner. :angel: :hillbill:

I've also seen some photos of Lance's 4Runner in them as well. IIRC, they were either LightForce or total chaos.

Brad, I bet if you send them a message with a pic of your 4Runner and a message saying you would like to do a spread, they may be willing to do it.

Who's the Van driving Hippie? :D (Clue...it's in the coverage with the month of "April"...Cool tidbit there.)

Do they have Pismo coverage in the March/April issue? If so, I may have to pick an issue up. :D

Yep. :D

Oh, and so I don't forget...

long haired, tile installing, Tacoma rear bumper tearing, Pismo Jamboree Running, going "Hoo-Rah" at times, Van driving Hippie. :angel:

Nice pic of you there man, all remarks aside, only you're not wearing a UY Hoodie?

*Sol's (Link to: sbechtold on TTORA (http://ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72522)) Solid Axled FJC is also a feature article in the Mar/Apr issue...pages 14-20 as is the article on Rob Tygart's (Link to: landcrusher909 on IH8mud (http://forum.ih8mud.com/ia-tall-corn-cruisers/250354-calif-iowa-article.html)) Tall Corn Classic cross country trip in his FJ-45 and...

Nate's FJ60 on pages 54-56. :D (*Sorry, I can't remember if there was ever an online write up of this one...)

Looks like the West Coast made a killing in coverage this issue! ;)

Haha, I wasn't sure if it was going to make it in there! I need to go pick up this issue. Thanks for sharing shane. :thumbup: :D

Does anyone have a page pic? I won't be able to go pick one up till tomorrow. :D

Yeah, I guess I do need to pick up a UY hoodie. It is a Landcruiser hoodie though. :hillbill:

Obi..

03-10-2009, 07:52 PM

;) I thought it was perhaps that type of hoodie or a Trail Teams one. I'll scan the page in for you now...

[Edit]Unrefined straight scan...Enjoy! (You might also consider asking Ben or Dave for a good quality copy of the pic, he's been really cool about that sort of thing before with someone else I know.

I didn't think the whole interview would make it in, but I'm stoked that much did. :thumbup:

Obi..

03-10-2009, 08:19 PM

Don't thank me, I'm "..just an innocent cog in the wheel of life..." :D
Me, I just like seeing (IMHO some deserving) folk I know getting some good press, and this gives me all the more reason to "passively" remind Ben and Dave about Toy Connection, Infamous Metal Works, and the opportunities to do coverage on them, and now that your face is out there, the Jamboree also. *O/T but they'd already be in the area possibly with SEMA, Surf-N-Turf and you're also there doing the Jambo...

Again, IMHO, I'm a nobody, with what I view as little influence, but will always try to throw out support in any form I can without pissing off anybody anymore. :angel:

DHC6twinotter

03-11-2009, 07:34 AM

Ah, ok....so this was Surf and Turf and not the UY Jamboree. Cool pictures! Is the UY jambo going to make it in 4WDTO?

Obi..

03-11-2009, 03:55 PM

Sorry Daniel, you posted "Pismo Coverage" so I didn't realize you meant the Jamboree. Buy a 4WDToyotaOwner (http://4wdtoyotaowner.com/) subscription anyhow, it's a great magazine.

I also recommend the Toyota Trails (http://tlca.org/web/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=9&Itemid=138) magazine you get being a member of TLCA (http://www.tlca.org/web/)!! (That, and well, it's a great club and your money goes to a great cause.)

Now, back on topic, as for the Jamboree, shoot them an email and express an interest in their doing an article about this site, and it's people and events.

*Address the letter to Ben and Dave in the subject line..

Who's green 4Runner is that on page 21 of the Mar/Apr 2010 in the ChaosFab ad? :D

For that matter, who's chamo black FJ-C is that in the spotlight article starting on page 8? :flipoff:

*O/T page 70 has info on the Warn Benchmade knife I mentioned in another thread. :thumbup:

It's cool to have a magazine where just about every issue has a picture of a rig i've seen on a forum or someone I've met. Bud even used to use one of my pictures for his Bud Built ad. :D

I'm pretty sure I was supposed to be in that magazine.. But no

Ron's a really cool guy, there's a shot around of some of us standing around at a Trail Meeting.
Ahh, here it is, I'll copy the shot into the fail thread since nobody told me that I had to have carhartts instead.
