Re: FJ Slide Video

Nice...I was sent to a coupe of driving schools, one was by the name of Bobby Ore. He had us doing 90 degree slides into a box made of cones in our HMVVW's.

I thinkthe FJ will be just fine hadnling that as long as you think you know what you are doing...

Re: FJ Slide Video

I've seen a couple clips where FJs have been rolled doing donuts in mud puddles. Quite a few years ago I rolled a '69 Chevy P/U. All it takes is to hit a bump, curb, or have a wheel dig in. The higher off the ground you go, the easier it turns over. The FJ is not as wide tracked as a H1 Hummer so it will roll easier (the trade off is we can get through narrower passes since the FJ does not have as wide of a track).

Re: FJ Slide Video
