Re: tibaal89's Black Cherry...

February 10, 2008 - Upper Woodpecker

Another moral victory for the stock-ish FJ! Read all about it on AZFJ.org

This was the day that solidified my dislike of low hanging skid plates commonly available for the FJ (BudBuilt, Rasta, to a lesser extent MAF, etc). I wheeled Upper Woodpecker with crazycarwes who had a nearly identical FJ - same tires, same sliders, no lift. Biggest difference was I had no skids and he had the BudBuilts.

The performance deficit was enormous... I sailed over spots that his truck got hung up on hard. And he's a good driver!

First obstacle...







Wedge...



This line was not my intention...







Watch out for that delicate thing!



February 16-18, 2008 - Cherry Creek Trip

Another fantastically interesting and bizarre trip with the good folks from AZFJ! The last water crossing before our camping spot for the night was a 30-yard wide raging torrent that could not be crossed by horse.

Read about it on AZFJ.org

We thought this crossing was bad... the next would turn us around.



Tried to wheel a bog... EPIC FAIL.





Tight spot...



Me and homedad posing...
