Pictures of the First official "Toga" run (Toyota Offroad Great-Lakes Association)

Well thanks to Rig-57 for leading us today, and thanks to Phil for having the tenacity to formalize a club. Today was our first official outing as a club, I guess, even though we have been together before as a "group".

...anyway, on to the pics.

10 FJ Cruisers
2 Jeeps
1 4Runner
and 1 XTerra



A bit of a slide down the slide






A bit of water










..and for those who believe in the word "momentum"








I had a great time as usual with this group. I can't wait for the next run

Re: Pictures of the First official "Toga" run (Toyota Offroad GreatLakes Association)

I've already sprayed all the mud off. I've learned from the past not to let it sit on the rig if you care for it at all. mud dose bad things to a vehicle. and is much harder to remove if left to dry.
Great photo's by the way. thanks Bill

Yep, clean out the mud right when I got home...That's why I am surprised how much the FJ can hold. Clean my belts and gave them some WD40...they are happy again.

The 4Runner did well with AT tires. The Xterra did not do as well but had stock tures. It's hard to compare apples and oranges, but everyone did well.

Congratulations on your new club status. Looks like you guys had a blast.
Just remember, the fun part is what you will always want to bring to the club.
thanks
