New from KC

Greetings! First of all, I don't own an FJ, but my buddy is buying an FJ TRD and I can't wait to go wheeling with him. My rig is a Hummer H3 and I can't seem to find anyone in the Kansas City area to go wheeling. I'm not into extreme rock crawling, but I don't mind a few scratches in the paint either. I'm not a forum troll, just looking to go wheeling and learn more about the FJ.

Re: New from KC

Welcome Trekker. I am sure you can find some guy around your area to going wheeling with.


Check out the regional forums and trail run sections to find guys closer to your area.

Re: New from KC

Welcome Trekker. i actually did the same thing over on a forum for hummers. I thought i would try and find the h3 or possible h2 guys that want to wheel and invite them out. It turns out that about 5% of that website is people that go offroad and the other were people who like to bling out. In the for sale section, not a single offroad piece of gear.
As Jeshua suggested, go to forum button and then scroll down to regions, in there you will probably find threads about people wheeling near you.

Something about your gobi rack and brush guard looks very similar to a Defender, i can't put my finger on it though. Looks good.

Re: New from KC

The way I see it, it doesn't matter what you drive as long as you enjoy wheeling just as much as the other guy even thought most of us like to share our passion with FJ, there is so much this forum has to offer to those who loves to go out off pavement and enjoy the outdoors. Nice looking rig there you got. Welcome to the forum.

Re: New from KC

Howdy and welcome to the forum! Nice Hummer! Ignore chuckster - don't wash it - keep your Hummer dirty and you'll be unique!

The next best thing to actually owning an FJ is having a buddy who does! I'm sure that you'll have a great time wheeling together and you'll probably find many other FJers on this forum who would love to meet up with you to get dirty.

Re: New from KC

Welcome!!!! I have to say, your Hummer is the very first one I have ever seen dirty with real mud! Don't wash it! It is a statement.

I am sure you can find some cool guys to off road with if you hang around your regional forum.

PS... Glad to know you are not a troll!

Hey Layonnn, I saw your post and that's what gave me the idea. You're right, that forum is mostly blingers. Go to HummerX Club's forum, I'm positive you will find someone in your area to go wheeling.
