yesterday i took my new Cruiser down to a real goat trail by the river, half a dozen cut backs to get down to the river makes for a good road to check out all of my four wheel drive goodies.
so on my way back up, i tried something crazy ( or so i thought ), i cut across the cutbacks, skipping the road altogether and the FJ had no problem with ATRAC engaged and thats when i realized, i wasnt driving a normal 4x4 - i was actually riding a mountain goat!
it was that first real "cant stop grinning like an idiot" moment in my new FJ, so i was wondering if anybody else has had ( or can remember ) their first big grin???

Oh yeah, it happens to everyone. And believe me, this definitely won't be your last one. It happens all the time to me. The first moment I ha like that was similar to yours, we were exploring a goat trail and I was the only one that made it through...and I was still stock. I then had to turn around because no one else could make it....which turning around was actually harder than the trail itself. I love my FJ...an I hope to get it back soon.

I was wrong once too, but then I found out I was mistaken!!!
Yes, it is I riding in this 'STORM' and, Yes I am a decendant of the moonshine drinking, mandolin playing, what-kind-of-meat-is-this-it-tastes-like-chicken hillbilly culture...and damn proud of it!
