Re: All new FJ owners read this.

I think i started off roading 35 years ago and this was a nice review. It is interesting that it reccommends shifting to 4H for wet roads.

Re: All new FJ owners read this.

I will be reading this on the way to GWNF this afternoon. Should I put a big "NOOB" sticker on my windshield to warn everyone?

Thanks for the link.

The 4x4 Manual previously said:
Steering operation: The bottom [of a river] may not be visible because of mud or sunlight reflected on the river surface. Such situations could result in the vehicle getting caught in a gap at the bottom. To guard against such an incident, your thumbs should not be placed inside the steering wheel.
That shouldn't be a problem for me. Every time I ford a river my thumbs are thrown clear of the steering wheel into a fonzie-like motion
