Mine turned 2 today

It was two years ago that I brought mine home. The birthday has been bitter/sweet.

On a Friday two years ago I saw it at the local BBQ joint. Someone from the dealer was picking up food for the crew. I drove it after work. Then went and drove a Wrangler. On Sunday after work I went and drove it again. It went home with me. A great time it was, it drove just a little better than my '81 Datsun P/U!

Sadly the joy only lasted a couple of days. An event took me down for quite a while. The sweet girl in my avatar died on my lap. Okay, enough sad stuff!

I bought my FJ a locking gas cap for her birthday

Congrats and my sympathy as well. I lost both my 2 hounds two years ago as well.
My rigs 6 months younger and its been getting presents every month. I have to stop spoiling it.

Sorry for your lost, I know the feeling. Ironically I had a brand new puppy the day before I got my FJ about two years ago. Any plans on getting another one sometimes that is the best cure for the lost one.

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for the support.

Thanks to you too. No plans for another dog yet. Kona didn't travel well, so I had to have someone come over a few times a day if I was gone. So I've been on the road quite a bit since. the company has had me out for training, and filling in across the country. Also many weekends in the summer I'm up near Silverton camping. Took two weeks last year and drove to Key West.

I have a bit more freedom now, and the FJ gets me there!

I just hit one year of ownership 5 days ago and still loving every minute of it. Build date was 02/07 though.

And my 3 Weimaraners love going on rides.

I have had mine for a hard 4,000 + miles. It might have the use of two years!!
