Talking My first FJ Off-Road Cruising!

This afternoon, i was at home as usual PS3-ing when my friend Ahmed called and asked me to go together for a short Desert journey. It was my first off-road experience, it was exciting although it wasn't well planned, i just wanted to test my FJ and enjoy it. I've taken some photos and a video, i hope you like them

My friend and I (beginning of the journey)



First obstacle (Youtube video below)



Finally made it!!
