Re: reviewing FJC this week
First 5 photos from my run to East Texas this morning are up in members gallery - AutoworldDavid.
Had a blast. The truck ran great and even though I do not like manual trannies as much as I used to I had no problems with the FCJ.
I even got to test out the clutch start override on a hairpin uphill turn.
Glad the truck comes with skid plates, I put some of those to good use.
Even with all-season/all-terrain street tires, this FCJ had no problem with crawling and climbing in the East Texas dirt and rock.
Trail conditions were loose for the most part with some water in low areas (I took these too slow, I know, truck is still too clean).
I stayed away from anything TOO technical on this first outing with the FJC but am overall impressed with the vehicle both onroad and off.
Some road noise above 50-60mph, mostly coming from the rear of the vehicle, but easily overcome with FJammer sound system. Bass from subwoofer not overwhelming, but for the size and offset location of the unit in back it works well.
Tech interview is on Sunday.
More later.
