I'm tired of being a mall-cruising soccer mom. It's horribly boring and it's time to put my 4WD FJ to work.
My roots in 4-wheeling were established out of necessity to get to our horse pastures outside of Flagstaff when I was a kid. I spent half my time between my mom in Yuma, AZ (and the dunes there) and the other half in the pines outside of Flagstaff as my dad was stationed at the Navajo Army Depot.
My dirty secret: my husband wanted to buy the FJ. I didn't want it. I didn't want to get rid of my new Lancer which was a manual transmission and I loved it. My husband can't drive stick though, so he won, I lost, and my compensation was that the FJ would be mine since my Lancer was newer than his 4Runner and I wasn't about to "trade down" to an older model car. Yes, I'm spoiled like that.
So in July of 2006, I got my 2007 Silver 4WD FJ.
My FJ is stock but I'm looking into practical mods for off-roading. It's time to get away from the malls and back to the solitude of the outdoors. My husband supports me but he's totally not interested in 4 wheeling or anything to do with camping, whereas I grew up doing all that stuff. Now that our daughter is nearly 2, I'm ready to learn to be the driver and not the passenger for off-road excursions.
So hi and stuff.
